Catastrophe modeling is the process of using computer-assisted calculations to estimate the losses that could be sustained due to a catastrophic event such as a hurricane or earthquake, and is at the confluence of actuarial science, engineering, meteorology, and seismology. This talk is an introduction to catastrophe modelling with an emphasis on the data components, inputs and outputs of the processes involved. It’ll also touch on the process of modelling insurance and reinsurance deals and the data involved therein.
