According to the company, Coastal Storm Surge is the first hazard risk model that incorporates all offshore (wind speed, hurricane speed, storm track, barometric pressure, tide and water depth) and onshore (human and natural barriers and elevation) variables to provide a consistent methodology for determining storm surge risk on the Atlantic and Gulf Coast states.
Proxix says its model takes into account detailed coastline water, elevation and wind speed databases giving insurers highly accurate information with which to assess and understand their storm surge risk and maximum probable loss in coastal areas.
