Reask was created to provide natural catastrophe risk analytics anywhere and everywhere on the globe, and today we are proud to release the first step
HindCyc: Immediate Post-Landfall Probabilistic Gust Estimates
In the days before a hurricane landfall, the insurance industry pays close attention to location and intensity forecasts – a logical concern as these represent
Towards the next generation of Cat Models – Part 2
In a series of blog articles this month we put forward what we believe are necessary steps to build the next generation of Cat models. In part 1 we detailed the need to
Towards the next generation of Cat Models – Part 1
Over a pair of blog posts we will be discussing the key concepts behind REASK’s model building philosophy, as well as why we believe they

A globally connected & predictive view of earth system risk
The Earth system is globally connected and assessing its risk requires a globally connected view. At reask we are building all our models with this
Some thoughts on probabilistic forecasting
Probabilistic forecasts can easily be misinterpreted and since they are at the core of everything we do at reask we thought we’d try and lay
