Oasis Loss Modeling Framework Integrations

HurLoss is ARA's sophisticated hurricane catastrophe model designed specifically for property insurers, reinsurers, brokers, and ILS managers to effectively manage risks in hurricane-prone areas. Established in 1998, HurLoss has been pivotal in shaping structural engineering standards in states affected by hurricanes and has played a key role in federal emergency management and mitigation efforts since 2003. The model offers an extensive event set that encompasses the entire North Atlantic basin, including regions like the U.S., the Caribbean, Bermuda, as well as parts of Canada, Mexico, and Central America. What distinguishes HurLoss is its unique physics-based approach to hurricane hazard modeling, which integrates engineering load and resistance analysis based on foundational principles and validated through claims data. Furthermore, the model includes projections for future climate scenarios, allowing users to assess risks with both present and future climatological data, such as changes in sea surface temperature and wind shear. This innovative perspective not only enhances risk assessment but also empowers stakeholders to develop robust hurricane risk management strategies that are adaptable to evolving climate conditions, ultimately ensuring a more resilient approach to disaster preparedness and response.
