The FINANCIAL — Munich Re has compiled its extensive knowledge in the field of geo risks research in the production of a DVD, the new Globe of Natural Hazards.

 

This latest Munich Re offering is an important tool for the identification of complex risks from natural hazards and is intended to support its clients and society in general in the evaluation of these risks. The DVD represents a progression from the World Map of Natural Hazards, a very successful series of Munich Re publications which, since first appearing in 1978, has established itself as a standard work for the identification and evaluation of natural hazards.

39% of CEOs expect their company’s headcount to increase by 5% or more in 2024

Board member Torsten Jeworrek: "For Munich Re, risk research is a crucial discipline that enables us to steer the course of our business in the long term, while performing our role as the insurance industry’s knowledge carrier. Products like the Globe of Natural Hazards and the know-how incorporated in it assist in profitable underwriting of complex natural hazard risks. At the same time, we strive to put our clients in a position to control their risks and the resulting accumulations more efficiently, too."

 

According to Munich Re, this unique service product shows users the degree of exposure to storms, floods, earthquakes, hailstorms, or other natural hazards at any point on earth.

 

With claims burdens increasing worldwide, detailed analysis of natural hazards is of immense significance, not only for the insurance industry. Land-use planning at regional and municipal level and disaster reduction can all benefit from the information contained in the Globe of Natural Hazards. New hazard maps for hailstorms, tornadoes, and hazards in coastal regions have been integrated, for instance. The new digital edition visualises flood hazard for the first time: this has not been possible before. A further central element is the integration of the hazard scenarios impacted by climate change. In recent years, for example, there have been relevant increases in the hurricane hazard in the Caribbean and on the coasts of North America and in the hazard of extreme atmospheric events like hailstorms and heavy rain in Europe.

 

The global natural hazard maps are presented on this multimedia DVD against the background of a satellite image globe. Many other knowledge components are contained on the DVD besides climatological information. Munich Re's historical database of catastrophes is linked to the natural hazard and climate maps in this way, too.

 

"The work of our risk research team, whose findings are conveyed in part by the Globe of Natural Hazards, helps us and our clients to identify new focal points in underwriting. This is important to keep these risks insurable. In addition, we use this expertise to develop profitable business, enabling us to offer insurance solutions in new areas like offshore wind farms and large solar and geothermal plants," Board member Jeworrek continues. "Independent of the question of insurance, politics and society bear a major responsibility in terms of steering exposure and reducing loss potentials. This includes, for example, the adaptation of land use to the respective hazard situation and the stipulation and enforcement of building regulations. This is exactly where our new product can provide good support."

 

"The Globe of Natural Hazards is unique both in its makeup and in the knowledge it incorporates. It is a means of contributing towards enhanced risk awareness – on the part of our clients, but also on the part of the public, companies, and authorities," says Andreas Siebert, project leader and head of Geospatial Solutions at Munich Re.
