Event Losses

PERILS produces event loss information relating to qualifying European windstorm events with an insured industry property loss exceeding EUR 200m. While a total event loss figure is made publicly available, subscribers to the PERILS Industry Exposure & Loss Database have access to loss data by country, CRESTA Zone and occupancy type (residential property, commercial property, industrial property and agricultural property).

*: Insured property loss as at the time of the event, excluding government insurance schemes. Forex rates as at event start date. Losses are available per country to subscribers of the PERILS Industry Exposure & Loss Database. Note that extrapolation to market level is performed on country loss data (as opposed to per-CRESTA zone loss data) and is based on a smaller market coverage than currently captured by PERILS. As a result, the industry loss estimates for these five storm events will not be as accurate as the loss estimates produced by PERILS for windstorms Klaus (Jan 2009) and Xynthia (Feb 2010).
