Natural catastrophe database analysis and information platform
NatCatSERVICE, a fundamental part of Munich
Re’s Geo Risks Research, is the
world’s largest database of natural
catastrophe losses. Since 1974, Munich Re has systematically
collected information on geoscientific and structural exposures and
global event and loss data. This unique archive of natural hazards,
built up over 35 years, ultimately gave rise
to the pivotal element, Munich Re’s
NatCatSERVICE database, which contains more than
30,000 entries. This database facilitates
complex global evaluations and analyses of natural catastrophes,
and provides a platform offering a full range of information and
services on their various aspects. Up to
1,000 new natural hazard events are recorded
and analysed each year, and our existing records are continuously
updated.
Since August 2010, in addition to the current sections featuring
annual statistics and great and significant natural catastrophes,
NatCatSERVICE has included two further topics: Focus Analyses and
information on the database methodology.
