Over a decade of innovation in flood modeling
In 2012, a group of researchers discussed some of the major obstacles that needed to be overcome in the field of flood modeling and, subsequently, set about trying to solve them. They explored the best ways to make cutting-edge methods of flood risk modeling more widely available. By 2013, this conversation had led to the formation of Fathom. The vision was simple: To become a leading research-led company, building advanced flood models, in hard-to-map regions.
Fast forward to today, Fathom is proud to announce the release of Global Flood Cat — the first truly global catastrophe model that considers both inland and coastal perils. It has been designed to transform how we understand and manage flood risk across the world.
