Together with Aon's Reinsurance Solutions, we’ve been appointed by Public Safety Canada | Sécurité publique Canada to help enhance its understanding of flood hazard across Canada. The combined team will provide the Public Safety Canada with a flood hazard dataset that depicts flood extents and depths for a number of return periods and climate change scenarios. Learn more about this project: https://lnkd.in/esJD7sND If you’ve been following Canadian news, you’ll likely be unsurprised to hear that flooding is the nation’s most common and costly natural disaster. From severe storms and flash flooding in Toronto to the Federal Government detailing Canada’s first national flood insurance program in the 2024 Budget.

In flood risk modeling, managing uncertainty is a complex challenge that risk professionals face every day. With countless variables and subjective judgments influencing outcomes, understanding these uncertainties is crucial for making informed decisions. That’s why Fathom introduced Metadata—an innovative layer of information designed to offer a clear evaluation of uncertainties within our products. Available as Certainty Ranks and Terrain Metadata, this tool enables a more comprehensive assessment of model uncertainties, delivering unprecedented detail and insight in the industry. Discover how Metadata can enhance your flood risk management strategies in our on-demand product briefing with Chief Product Officer, Dr Matthew Jones.

There’s still time to register for part 3 of our 3-part CPD-accredited webinar series on flooding in partnership with CIWEM (The Chartered Institution of Water and Environmental Management). Register now to join us for: ‘Exploring the impact of compound events’. Can’t make it? Don’t worry, register now and we’ll send you a copy of the recording after the event. https://hubs.ly/Q02Kr-q60 Catastrophic events often are not driven by one process. Extreme coastal floods can coincide with strong winds, or damage from extreme rainfall can be amplified when following a wildfire. However, typical catastrophe models rarely look at the probability and impact of multi-peril compound events. Panelists Dr Natalie Lord and Joshua Green will be covering: 🌊What are compound events? 💨To what extent are events like flooding, drought and wind connected? 🌀What drives compound events? ⛈️How model vendors can work together to provide combined views of risk? #compoundevents #flood #drought #wind #floodmodeling #cpd #engineeringcpd

🐈 Did you know that today is International Cat Day? At Fathom we’ve got a lot of love for our furry friends (you’ve probably seen a few of our office pups featured on LinkedIn), but the real cat love in our lives is, of course, catastrophe models. So here’s a little bit of fun, and happy International Cat Day from Fathom! #InternationalCatDay #catastrophemodels #natcat #catday #catmodels

According to preliminary figures from the Swiss Re Institute, flooding accounted for 14% of the USD 60 billion of global insured losses from natural catastrophes in H1 of this year. Driven by flood events across the UAE, Germany and Brazil, the first half of 2024 saw above average losses from flooding; no doubt contributing to the total global insured losses sitting 62% above the ten-year average.

Good job the Fathom team were hungry in July, as for our monthly Fathom social we were treated to a taste of Hungary 🇭🇺 🥁 Fathom’s Hungarian contingent, Judit, Barbara and Jessica spoiled us with a homemade feast of delicacies - featuring: goulash, Meggyleves (sour cherry soup), Túró Rudi (chocolate covered curd cheese sticks), more cheeses and meats than we can name and even some shots of Pálinka. As part of our monthly socials, Fathom is showcasing different cultures from our team. Which country do you think will be featured next? #Teambuilding #Hungary
