ABOUT THIS WEBINAR
Historical information generally is insufficient for predictions related to future catastrophes. As a result, catastrophe modeling—which is more accurate, stable, and flexible—has been developed, becoming an important element in actuarial practice. This webinar that explored catastrophe modeling, answering questions such as:

• What are catastrophe models?
• How and when does an actuary use catastrophe models?
• Who produces these models and who runs them? What do regulators say about catastrophe models?
• What are the relevant professionalism considerations and guidance?
• What other catastrophes are modeled besides hurricanes?

Our presenters drew from Uses of Catastrophe Model Output, a monograph released by the Academy’s Extreme Events and Property Lines Committee earlier this year.
