This brochure provides an overview of the AIR Tropical Cyclone Model for Hawaii, which captures the risk from tropical cyclone winds and implements a novel method for modeling simulated storm tracks. In addition, AIR engineers have developed wind damage functions for 71 different construction classes—including residential structures unique to Hawaii—that reflect regional construction practices, evolution of building codes, and historical tropical cyclone experience. The model also includes four Extreme Disaster Scenarios (EDS) to help companies prepare for large loss potential.

In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in 2005, AIR released The Coastline at Risk: Estimated Insured Value of Coastal Properties. That report was updated in 2008; comparing its results to the 2005 report showed that the insured value of properties in coastal areas of the United States had grown at a compound annual rate of about 7%. This report represents a further update in 2013 and shows that, in the last five years, growth in insured values in coastal regions fell from 7% to just under 4% per annum.

For the 2013 insurance year, the Risk Management Agency of the USDA modified the premium rates for corn, cotton, rice, sorghum, soybean, and wheat crops. This will have an impact on premium volumes, county- and state-level gross loss ratios, post-SRA losses and loss ratios, thus directly affecting crop insurance companies’ fund allocation, risk management strategies and the placement of reinsurance protection. This paper describes the nature of these changes and their impact on the profitability of the crop insurance industry.
