PERILS provides update on third loss report for extratropical cyclone Herwart
Given the high number of qualifying extratropical cyclone events which occurred across Europe during the 2017/2018 winter season and acknowledging the need to keep the workload placed on data-providing companies at an acceptable level, PERILS has taken the decision not to request loss data for the third loss report for Extratropical Windstorm Herwart.
Instead, PERILS has today provided its subscribers with a modelled loss footprint for Herwart at CRESTA resolution, based on historic vulnerability data and information from the second loss report.
PERILS will issue its next loss estimate for Herwart on 29 October 2018, twelve months after the event occurred. This will be based on loss data collected from insurance companies at full resolution, i.e. by CRESTA zone and by property line of business.
