Extreme Weather
In 2018, 3 of the 5 costliest natural catastrophes were related to severe winds, amounting to $42.5 Billion in total. As our climate continues to change, damaging storms are increasing in severity and becoming more frequent, posing severe risk.

Wind damage is multi-faceted:
Structural damage
Roof and building envelop
Debris
KR employs both catastrophe model and high-fidelity CFD simulations to captures critical portfolio exposure. Proprietary platform enables multi-tiered assessment that successively filters and refine damage and downtime estimates.
Serious business interruptions can result from damage to structural components, building skin, roof, non-structural systems and other non-building infrastructure crucial to day-to-day operations. Slender structures like chimneys, transmission towers and antennae can collapse due to high winds causing cascading damage and disruption to lifelines. Whether it is special structures or regional infrastructure, Kinetica Risk will identify potential vulnerabilities, evaluate the likelihood and extent of impact, and help you protect your critical systems.KR’s scientific methods
