Search for tropical cyclone events using event identifiers

You can visualize and interrogate event identifiers(IDs) of your choice from Verisk's Tropical Cyclone Stochastic catalog data and Verisk's Tropical Cyclone Historical catalog data with full tracks and intensity footprints.

Event identifiers (IDs) are the numerical values that identify events in Verisk's model catalogs. You can visualize the event track on the map for the selected event and the landfall characteristics in the results tab.

Steps to search for events using event identifiers

Procedure

  1. Click on the add symbol next to TROPICAL CYCLONE
  2. Click on the Event ID.
    QUERY BY EVENT ID search window opens enabling Select a Catalog Region option.
  3. In the Select a Catalog Region drop-down list, select the catalog that contains the events of your interest, for example, 10k United States.
    You will get your licensed peril as the default.
  4. Type or paste the comma-separated list of event identifiers in the text box.
    1. Ensure to use only numerical values to avoid getting an error message.
    2. The system also generates an error message if the input event IDs exceed the range of event IDs in the selected catalog.
  5. Click the Search Events button .
    The application returns landfall and storm track information for each valid event ID.
  6. Alternatively, click the Reset button to clear all the input in the text box and the results table .
  7. Optionally, select a new catalog from the Select a Catalog Region drop-down list to explore Event Ids from alternate catalogs.
    Event IDs are retained in the text box, if we do not change the peril region. The text box becomes blank only if we update the peril region in our search query.
