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.
In addition to its coastal risk module, CATUM also evaluates other hazard risks such as wildfires and damaging winds.
