Flood Solutions Summer 2018 Flood for Insurance Flood risk is the most pervasive and expansive of all natural perils, yet it s also the most mismanaged and underinsured. CoreLogic offers a comprehensive view of risk by evaluating possible and probable events, and verifying current and post-event impacts. These solutions include scoring, data visualization, and other tools that collectively address the management of fl ood risk throughout the entire insurance process, from underwriting, pricing and portfolio management to risk transfer and re-insurance. U.S. Flood Risk Scores CoreLogic technology evaluates flood impact by combining an integrated analysis of the flood area, flood elevation and watershed characteristics. Flood Risk Scores represent relative risk with intuitive numeric values, on a 100 point scale and risk ratings from very low to extreme. Flood Risk Score Flood Risk Score adds new dimensions by capturing water surface elevation data and distance to the 100-year fl ood plain, levee and dam data, and extensive algorithms to calculate risk exposure. Flash Flood Risk Score Flash Flood Risk Score provides fl ooding detail in areas where fl ooding resources are traditionally neglected, fi lling in fl ood risk assessment gaps where the previous focus was only on riverine and coastal fl ooding. We incorporate added variables such as fl ow accumulation grids, land use, vegetation, elevation and slope data. Storm Surge Risk Score Storm Surge Risk Score helps you more accurately assess a property s relative risk due to hurricane storm surge impact. Our heritage in fl ood and our leading science provide a full understanding of the associated risk where just one cubic yard of seawater weighs nearly one ton. We incorporate the tide and water depth, barometric pressure, and wind speed. U.S. Flood Risk Models The CoreLogic U.S. Flood Modeling Solution assesses the potential damage and financial impact from riverine, flash flood, and coastal storm surge events in the continental U.S. It delivers a comprehensive view of the risk, using widespread coverage of hydrologic and hydraulic data that reflects regional flooding and drainage patterns. These comprehensive, high-resolution probabilistic models combine our experience in identifying and evaluating flood risk with detailed hazard data and powerful modeling tools to enable you to effectively underwrite and price flood policies and analyze flood risk at both location and portfolio level. Riverine Flood Using up-to-date and innovative data layers for river fl ows, fl ood basins, private and public fl ood defenses and elevations, the CoreLogic inland fl ood model adds confi dence in the catastrophic risk assessment of property. Flash Flood Heavy downpours of rain can happen anywhere and the resulting surface water fl ows present a substantial component of fl ood risk for many locations. The CoreLogic fl ash fl ood risk model simulates the complexities of a modern storm that can produce both riverine and fl ash fl ooding. Storm Surge Our fully aligned Storm Surge model is a granular, up-to-date, detailed approach to appropriately and rationally estimate risk due to storm surge and coastal fl ooding. The model covers 20 states along the Gulf and Atlantic coasts from Texas to Maine. Flood Determinations Whether for policies written through the National Flood Insurance Program, or through a private program, the flood zone based on FEMA s flood map can provide a necessary rating component. We can report to you not only the flood zone based on today s effective flood map but also provide historic flood map information necessary today for various rating guidelines. All of this can be provided accurately and in many cases instantaneously. 4
Flood Solutions g Summer 2018 Flood Related Risks Distance to Coast The location of a property in relation to the coastline of an ocean or large body of water can significantly shift the risk level of that property. With Distance to Coast, you can accurately identify the distance to the nearest coastline, the name of the body of water, and whether it is seaward or non-seaward. Sewer Backup Risk Score Backed up sewers and flooded basements can wreak havoc on a home, causing thousands of dollars in damage to floors, walls, furniture and electrical systems. According to the Insurance Information Institute, over 500,000 claims occur in the U.S. annually, with average claims rising 3 percent every year. Better assess your sewer backup risk by leveraging CoreLogic datasets such as sewer pipe age, ground depression areas, flood risk score, flash flood risk score, soil infiltration, and more. Non-Weather-Related WaterRisk According to an analysis of insurance carrier loss data, non-weather-related water damage accounts for approximately 20 percent of all homeowner insurance losses nationwide. The WaterRisk methodology includes the gathering and assembly of large volumes of practical, measurable data drawn from nearly one million water damage survey responses over 10 years, hundreds of thousands of appliance failure reports, and more. Hail Risk Property losses due to hail from 2005-2016 as reported by the National Centers for Environmental Information exceeded $19 billion. Using historical storm data over a 30-year period and running a 10,000-year simulation for regions across the U.S., CoreLogic Hail Risk can help you more accurately assess risk from hail stones 1 or greater. Wind Risk In 2017 alone, wind activity was significantly above the CoreLogic calculated average (2009 2017). Using our wind risk data, you can better understand, manage and measure the wind risk resulting from many natural hazards such as tornadoes, straight line winds, thunderstorms, hurricanes and special wind areas. Grapple with your portfolio s risk to wind damage and Get The Whole Story. Lightning Verification The National Lightning Safety Institute reports that property damage from lightning claims cost insurers billions of dollars each year. We enable you to save critical time and money by confidently verifying the presence or absence of lightning on the reported date of loss. Recognized as the industry standard for accuracy, CoreLogic Lightning Verification uses 25+ years of lightning data acquired from the U.S. National Lightning Detection Network. Save critical time and money by confidently verifying the cause and date of damage and losses in near real time. 5
