This brochure provides an overview of the AIR Inland Flood Model for Japan. The model captures the risk of flooding caused by systems other than tropical cyclones, which accounts for about 40% of all insured flood losses in Japan.

The AIR Inland Flood Model for the United States is the most detailed probabilistic model available for assessing and managing inland flood risk. The AIR model explicitly models both on- and off-floodplain losses; features a component-based approach to estimate the vulnerability of buildings and their contents for all lines of business; supports primary risk characteristics and 10 secondary modifiers; and identifies separate flood occurrences spatially and temporally to reflect the physical properties of a flood while accommodating a 168-hour clause. The AIR model also helps establish a currency for understanding and quantifying risk in insurance and reinsurance transactions.

The AIR Inland Flood Model for Central Europe is the industry¹s first to account for intra-country correlation of flooding using a joined physical modeling domain. It explicitly models on- and off-floodplain losses in Austria, Czech Republic, Germany, and Switzerland; accounts for flood defenses and supports custom flood defenses; features a component-based approach to damage estimation for commercial buildings; and supports the evaluation of reinsurance contracts incorporating a 504 hours clause.
