Fathom-US

Fathom-UK CAT

A first for accurately quantifying present and future flood losses

Fathom-UK CAT has been built in tandem with Fathom's flood hazard data for the UK.

The probabilistic model uniquely characterises the relationship between flood depth and damage in a variety of contexts. This includes the differentiation of damage in residential and non-residential buildings.

The ability to capture the unique impact of boh fluvial and pluvial perils.
Alternative Living Expenses(ALE)
The indirect costs of evacuation, accommodation, and other expenses are explicitly modelled.
