#Floodmodels aren’t just numbers and maps—they're pivotal in shaping #underwriting decisions. In a recent podcast, Tom Philp shared some eye-opening perspectives on evaluating and implementing flood models, and it’s a must-hear for anyone in the insurance and risk modelling space. Here are the key takeaways: ✔️ Tailored evaluations matter: Are you looking at the model for #aggregation or #underwriting? Your approach changes everything. ✔️ Footprint integrity: From #fluvial to #pluvial to #coastal risk—understanding if these footprints align with reality is critical. ✔️ Transparency is key: Flood modelling is complex and vendors who can clearly communicate uncertainties and methodologies are game-changers. The bottom line? It’s not just about what the model says—it’s about how it says it and who it’s speaking to. As Tom highlighted, collaboration and clarity can turn complexity into #actionable insights. Have you grappled with flood model evaluations?

As a communicator with close to two decades of experience, I know the benefits of reviewing content and tweaking documents before posting them. In a disaster, that’s not always possible. When lives and safety are on the line, information needs to get out as soon as possible. That’s why disaster communications experience is so important. Even if the situation is evolving or unfamiliar, experienced crisis communicators know the kinds of information that people need in order to plan and act. Want more info?
