Underwrite Physical Climate Risk With Confidence

Asset-level Expected Annual Loss and Climate Value-at-Risk for underwriting, pricing, and accumulation management.

Floodlight translates ten physical hazards into a single audit-ready financial number per insured asset - Expected Annual Loss, percentile Climate VaR, and a Climate-Adjusted Asset Value - so underwriting and portfolio teams can price risk and manage accumulation with the same rigor as market and credit risk.

The Underwriting Problem

Legacy catastrophe models were built for historical loss patterns, not a shifting climate baseline.

Backward-Looking Models

Traditional cat models are calibrated on historical loss experience. They systematically understate risk as hazard frequency and severity shift under a changing climate.

Coarse Geographic Resolution

Zip-code or county-level risk scores miss the asset-specific factors - elevation, construction, proximity to water - that actually drive loss severity.

Slow Accumulation Visibility

Portfolio accumulation reports often lag bind dates by weeks, leaving underwriters unable to see concentration risk in real time as new business is written.

Asset-Level Risk, Independently Measured

Satellite observation and published damage curves, not proprietary black-box scoring.

Ten-Hazard Coverage

Coastal surge, riverine flood, seismic, wildfire, wind, heat, cold, drought, snow, and ice - each with its own probability mapper and damage function.

Expected Annual Loss Per Asset

A single financial figure per insured property, suitable for pricing, reserving, and reinsurance treaty structuring.

Real-Time Hazard Alerts

SIREN delivers continuous monitoring across 10+ hazard types with Financial VaR, so underwriting sees emerging exposure as it develops, not at renewal.

Portfolio Accumulation Views

Covariance-adjusted roll-up of asset-level VaR to portfolio level, with concentration heatmaps for treaty and retention decisions.

Built for Your Team.
