Earthquake Catastrophe Modelling

Earthquake property catastrophe modelling, introduced in the early 1980s, has received considerable impetus in the past few decades thanks to growing computational resources and has since become the leading methodology for quantifying and controlling the risk arising from earthquake hazards for various client portfolios.

The presentation illustrates the basic concepts of hazard, risk, and “earthquake catastrophe modelling” in a simple and intuitive way, with a focus on the needs of the (re)insurance world. Selected concrete examples from recent catastrophic events are included to better reflect the theory.
