Proxix Solutions Releases Storm-Surge Model

Proxix Solutions has developed a new storm-surge model that generates storm-surge inundation polygons for all counties along the Gulf and Atlantic Coasts. Accounting for changes in coastal elevations and barriers to inland surge-water movement, the model produces risk polygons identifying five zones of storm-surge risk, from low to extreme.

Integrating the storm-surge model into Proxix’s automated solution called CATUM, underwriters input an address or latitude and longitude and receive a detailed risk score for a specific property or location. With CATUM’s highly accurate parcel-level geocoding technology, carriers can outperform rule of thumb rating techniques that affect their profitability.
