The Democratisation of Cat Models

3 November 2022

OASIS

Catastrophe models have been useful tools in the in/reinsurance industry for over 30 years and applying what has been learnt here to other sectors, is more important now than ever before. The democratisation of cat models and risk assessment in this world of changing climate and social inflation is vital for governments and organisations to better understand the risk posed to their communities and businesses.

Oasis Loss Modelling Framework Ltd is a not-for-profit, open-source cat modelling platform that reduces the barriers for third-party providers to make their models and data available to the community while promoting transparency, innovation, and choice in this space. Oasis has a vibrant community of members and partners and thrives on collaboration with those in the commercial, academic, and public sectors. 

This webinar will cover the following topics:

  • The basics of cat models and how they are built
  • The outputs of cat models and their application
  • The role of standards
  • The goals of the Insurance Development Forum (IDF) and links with Oasis
