Earthquake risk solutions

Mitigate unpredictable seismic exposure

Unpredictable earthquakes threaten property portfolios without warning, creating severe unexpected claims and loss exposure.

Risk intelligence

Stay ahead of earthquake risk

Managing earthquake hazards requires cutting-edge USGS science. For over 15 years, we’ve adopted updated research up to two years ahead of peers. This discipline provides a vital underwriting edge, which is why the majority of the US admitted market relies on our risk solutions.

Up to 90m

High-resolution up to 90m in urban high hazard areas, allowing for granular risk differentiation at the individual location level.

1-10

Shaking intensity metrics based on the Modified Mercalli Intensity scale to predict potential structural damage severity.

1-100

Unified seismic hazard scores that integrate frequency and severity data for streamlined portfolio re-analysis.

Seismic intelligence

Comprehensive seismic risk metrics

Analyze site-specific ground shaking, building structural response, and secondary soil failure potential through integrated quantitative scores.
analytics

Earthquake risk score

Quantitative score representing site-specific functional damage potential for structures across foreseeable horizons.

earthquake

U.S. earthquake hazard

Assess site-specific earthquake risk using USGS hazard science, MMI, and 1-Second Spectral Acceleration. Evaluate structural damage and soil attenuation for precise underwriting decisions.

graphic_eq

Earthquake ground motion intensity measure - MMI

Evaluates site-specific ground shaking intensity using Modified Mercalli Intensity, reflecting localized ground motion.

waves

Earthquake ground motion intensity measure - 1-second spectral acceleration

Measures site-specific spectral shaking to quantify structural building response and vulnerability during seismic activity.

terrain

Soil susceptibility index

Measures risk covering liquefaction and ground failure as ground shaking alone does not explain earthquake damage, the soil beneath a building matters too.

Unmatched precision

USGS hazard science and ground motion attenuation

Transform property underwriting with Cotality's high-fidelity seismic science. By combining the latest United States Geological Survey hazard intelligence with localized wave attenuation, site geology, and soil susceptibility metrics, our risk scores reveal hidden vulnerability. Underwriters gain actionable clarity to differentiate site quality, minimize basis risk, and optimize capital allocation across complex commercial portfolios.,
