HailCalc Europe
In response to a growing insurance
industry need to quantify and manage catastrophe risk, RMS has acquired
HailCalc Europe, the first fully probabilistic hail loss simulation
software for Europe. The model was built by a team of atmospheric
scientists and underwriters in conjunction with Swiss Re, and has been
actively used to assess hail risk since 2004
Europe Hailstorm
Hail produced by severe thunderstorms can cause severe, though localized
damage in Europe, which is usually covered in standard windstorm
policies and therefore contributes significantly to the average annual
loss in this region. Much of central Europe is prone to severe
thunderstorms during May to September, particularly around the Alpine
foreland. The risk from this peril is highlighted by the Munich
hailstorm event in 1984, which caused more than €1.5Bn damage in today’s
values, around half of which was insured. As insurance penetration has
since increased and property values at risk continue to rise, the
expected losses from a similar event today would be much higher. While
such intense hailstorms can occur every two to three years, the narrow
footprint of severe damage means that the probability that such an event
passes over a densely urbanized area, generating large insured loss, is
much lower.
HailCalc Europe originated in 2001 from research into the relationship
between radar measurements and hail losses in Switzerland. A unique
method takes hail kinetic energy, derived from radar data and translates
this into hailstorm footprints. Hail kinetic energy represents the
time-integrated volume of hailfall in a particular location that can be
directly related to the intensity and extent of hail damage. The
original researchers collaborated with Swiss Re to extend the
methodology across Europe, blending this innovative methodology with
Swiss Re’s wealth of expertise and large volume of claims data to derive
damage functions. The model has been designed for portfolio EP loss
analysis for reinsurance purchasing. A catalog of nearly 2,000
historical hailstorms was developed from operational radar data and
combined with additional climatological and meteorological data to
generate the stochastic event set on a 3 km-x-3 km grid spanning eight
European countries.
RMS’ acquisition of HailCalc Europe complements the latest RMS Europe
Windstorm Model, which includes a separate component to model
wind-related losses from severe thunderstorms in addition to
winterstorms. For some countries, hail losses can total up to over a
third of the average annual loss from winter windstorms. The combination
of the two models will uniquely enable RMS clients to assess their risk
from key sources of windstorm loss. Regionally-based insurance companies
with business in hail-exposed areas will particularly benefit from the
addition of severe thunderstorm loss modeling to the long-established
RMS suite of peril models. The model will also be highly valuable for
auto insurers as auto claims can contribute to up to 70% of hail
damages.
