Date: Wednesday, November 4, 2026 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM - “From Rainfall to Risk: The Science and Technology Behind Precipitation-Driven Flood Catastrophe Models”. This talk will introduce the building blocks of a flood catastrophe model, including stochastic event generation, hydrologic and hydraulic modeling, exposure data, and vulnerability functions used to estimate risk of financial loss. I’ll illustrate how these components work together to translate a physical flood event into an estimate of damage and loss.
