Understand Damaging Wind Risk
Wind events account for millions of dollars in residential and commercial property damage each year. Our damaging winds dataset provides an accurate risk score and frequency for the three major types of damaging winds—straight-line, hurricane, and tornado—as well as an aggregate score of all three. Utilizing NOAA's damaging wind event data from 1980 to the present, our climatological, statistical and geographic experts model point-wind observations to a 10-kilometer grid normalized by population density.
With the damaging winds database, you gain a clearer picture of wind-loss potential. You can also use the database to identify lower-risk zones within large geographic areas, determine relative risk potential in smaller areas, and identify low-risk opportunities for the 48 contiguous states and Washington D.C.
Understand Tornado Risk
Tornadoes are among nature’s most violent storms, causing massive destruction within seconds. With wind speeds reaching 300 miles per hour, tornadoes can remain stationary or move quickly, potentially creating paths of damage more than a mile wide and 50 miles long.
With tornadoes possible in every state, it’s important to understand your relative potential for tornado loss and risk concentration. We use the latest meteorological science, historical data and current records to provide the best tornado risk assessment possible.
