Introduction: Geo-Technologies in the Insurance Industry Milestones of GIS (~ Geographical Information Systems) Beginning of Risk Modelling (Reinsurance, Consultants) Introduction of GIS by reinsurers: visualization and risk management of portfolios, analyses of natural disasters Munich Re characterizes the term Geographical Underwriting After 911 additional modelling of Man-made risks New services offered by brokers and consultants A first fully integrated Geo-solution is presented in Europe 1990 1995 2000 2005 2010 Google Earth gives Risk Modelling of Natural Hazards important intensified, after the series of winter storms in impetus to the 1990 and Hurricane Andrew 1992 industry and CRESTA offers a reinforces the web-mapping solution Introduction of Web-Mapping- acceptance to improve the tools for the risk assessment by transparency of leading reinsurers (e.g. CatNet, Introduction of GIStechnology in the direct portfolios NATHAN) insurance (especially in the UK and USA) Introduction: Principles of Geo Coding RiskMapper 3 4

Introduction 1. Definitions Geo Codes: - Exact latitude - and longitude coordinates that correspond to a particular address; - They vary in granularity; Centroid: - Geometric center (~ center point) - Different levels of Geo Coding Data: a) Rooftop and interpolated rooftop; b) Street centroid (~ center point of a street section); c) Postcode centroid (~ center point of a postcode area); d) City centroid (~ center point of a city area); e) Country centroid (~ center point of a country); Introduction 2. Accuracy: - Depends much on the business needs - and availability of client data Accuracy Postal Code Centroid / City Centroid Street Address Interpolated 5 Address Point 6

Introduction >>Structured Cedant s Data >> Geo Coding >> Mapping City names in a spreadsheet can be geo coded Part I: CRESTA Munich Re Global Geo-Coder Automatic process to attach coordinates to a postal code / ZIP Jakarta, Indonesia Visualization of risk locations The CRESTA organization was established by the insurance and reinsurance industry in 1977 as an independent body that aims to provide a uniform standard for data accumulation control of natural hazards worldwide; CRESTA stands for Catastrophe Risk Evaluating and Standardizing Target Accumulations and is currently managed by Munich Re and Swiss Re; The CRESTA online platform is available to users free of charge at www.cresta.org; 9 The CRESTA Secretariat is responsible for the administration of the CRESTA online platform, users and the communication with users as well as the incorporation of new data and features; The management of the CRESTA secretariat alternates between Munich Re and Swiss Re. As of January of 2013, Munich Re heads the CRESTA secretariat and will do so for the next five (5) years; 10

Part 1: CRESTA: Purpose and main tasks Enable users to analyze their exposure data on digital maps. Users can decide on the regional level on which they wish to accumulate and visualize their data; Determine country-specific zones for the uniform and detailed reporting of exposure data, usually relating to natural hazards; Promote templates to exchange exposure data in the industry based on the ACORD standard; Provide zoning list templates for the insurance industry; Develop new features e.g., CRESTA zone look-up using coordinates; https://www.cresta.org/ Part 1: The 2013 CRESTA Zones: - What s new and better? Choice of two levels of detail: HighRes for risk modeling and data exchange, and LowRes for cumulative risk analyses and reporting; The CRESTA database now contains 49 additional countries, making it the most comprehensive risk mapping tool available online; Zones are now always based on postal and administrative boundaries. The hazardbased schemes have been replaced; 11 More detailed analyses possible thanks to more than 250,000 zones worldwide (compared to 43,000 zones previously); New CRESTA Zone look-up feature using the coordinates of your insured risks; 12
