Reask

Machine-learning natural catastrophe risk models for (re)insurance

Visit official site →

About

Reask is an Australia-based science and technology company applying data science — including image recognition for wind-field and terrain models — to natural hazard modelling. Its products cover pre-event, real-time and post-event cyclone risk: Metryc for parametric triggers, LiveCyc for real-time storm data, and HindCyc for post-event footprints at 1km resolution.

Strengths: genuinely quantitative approach to a hard problem; powers Swiss Re Corporate Solutions' STORM parametric tropical-cyclone product as calculation agent; used by Juniper Re and EigenRisk. Honest limits: tropical cyclones are the core peril, so hurricane-free books get less value; built for insurers and modellers, not consumers.

What it can do

  • Tropical cyclone wind-field models
  • Parametric trigger indices
  • Real-time storm alerts
  • Post-event footprints
  • Pre-landfall exposure forecasting

Setup

  1. Contact Reask about data or model licensing.
  2. Define regions and perils of interest.
  3. Integrate wind-field data or alert service into exposure workflows.
  4. Set up parametric trigger indices where needed.
  5. Use pre- and post-landfall data for response planning.

Prerequisites

Enterprise agreement with Reask; exposure or portfolio data.
