Catastrophic Risk Modeling: Structural Damage Assessment

This talk explores catastrophic risk modeling with a focus on structural damage assessment, highlighting how advanced analytics, simulation models, and real-world data are used to predict and quantify damage from natural hazards such as earthquakes, cyclones, and floods. It will also discuss the integration of engineering principles with risk modeling frameworks to support resilient infrastructure design and disaster preparedness strategies. The session will be delivered by Suryanarayana Raju, Senior Vice President at Verisk, who brings extensive industry experience in catastrophe modeling, risk analytics, and insurance-based loss estimation, offering valuable insights into real-world applications and decision-making processes.
