Manage Worldwide Risks with GfK Geodata and CRESTA Zones
Intelligent Insurer is hosting a free GfK webinar on September 3 from 3-4pm BST (London time) that shows how GfK boundary data and CRESTA zones support reinsurance applications. A use case by Aon Benfield Impact Forecasting demonstrates how GfK geodata helps the company develop catastrophe models and visualize exposures, hazards and risks.
What you’ll learn from this webinar
* How GfK geodata supports catastrophe model development
* Why GfK boundary data offers distinct advantages for planning and managing risk
* The benefits of using postal boundaries and CRESTA zones as a basis of planning
The webinar is moderated by Wyn Jenkins, the group managing editor of Intelligent Insurer, and includes presentations by Matthias Hauschild, Senior Consultant at GfK; Christopher Guider, Marketing Manager at GfK; and Chris Ewing, Catastrophe Model Developer at Aon Benfield Impact Forecasting. GfK is a leading provider of administrative, postal and CRESTA boundary data specifically designed to support reinsurance applications.
(CRESTA (Catastrophe Risk Evaluation and Standardizing Target Accumulations) was founded as a joint project of Swiss Reinsurance Company, Gerling-Konzern Globale Reinsurance Company, and Munich Reinsurance Company. CRESTA has set itself the aim of establishing a globally uniform system for the accumulation risk control of natural hazards - particularly earthquakes, storms and floods. Those risk zones are essentially based on the observed and expected seismic activity, as well as on other natural disasters, such as droughts, floods and storms. CRESTA zones regard the distribution of insured values within a region or country for easier assessment of risks. CRESTA Zones are the essential basis for reinsurance negotiation and portfolio analysis. - Wikipedia)
