The AIR Inland Flood Model for the United States is the most detailed probabilistic model available for assessing and managing inland flood risk. The AIR model explicitly models both on- and off-floodplain losses; features a component-based approach to estimate the vulnerability of buildings and their contents for all lines of business; supports primary risk characteristics and 10 secondary modifiers; and identifies separate flood occurrences spatially and temporally to reflect the physical properties of a flood while accommodating a 168-hour clause. The AIR model also helps establish a currency for understanding and quantifying risk in insurance and reinsurance transactions.

The AIR Inland Flood Model for Central Europe is the industry¹s first to account for intra-country correlation of flooding using a joined physical modeling domain. It explicitly models on- and off-floodplain losses in Austria, Czech Republic, Germany, and Switzerland; accounts for flood defenses and supports custom flood defenses; features a component-based approach to damage estimation for commercial buildings; and supports the evaluation of reinsurance contracts incorporating a 504 hours clause.
