Guy Carp and WSI Join to Predict Hurricane Risk

Guy Carpenter & Company and WSI Corporation have teamed to introduce WSI’s new Hazard Forecast Tools. The program will allow clients to better determine portfolio losses from windstorms. The hazard data uses meteorological models to predict the track and intensity of hurricanes and includes detailed pre-season windstorm forecasts, live hurricane forecasts, and updated seasonal forecasts throughout the hurricane season.

Hazard data from WSI will be integrated into Guy Carpenter’s I-aXs data management platform. The information will be overlaid onto clients’ individual risk portfolios, and enable users to map the specific territories that are vulnerable to potential loss start of hurricane season.
