  2. Hazard analysis

    Hazard analysis enable you to identify the relevant catastrophe hazards for locations in your exposure data.

  3. Configuring Hazard analyses

    Overview of configuring hazard analyses.

  • Using Touchstone online Help

    You can access the top-level or context-sensitive Touchstone online help from within the application or from the Client Portal. You can then search for content, bookmark pages, and generate output to other formats.

  • Import data from external sources

    You can import exposure data, map layers, projects, and reinsurance packages from external sources into Touchstone databases.

  • Projects and exposure views

    Projects are a useful way to organize your data. They contain exposure views that contain the data that you want to focus on.

  • Geospatial analysis

    Geospatial analysis enables you to perform a deterministic risk analysis with your own view of risk on accumulations of property exposures and workers' compensation information in given areas exposed to natural and man-made catastrophes.

  • Exposure data validation

    Verisk provides a reference containing information about Touchstone exposure data.

  • Data Quality analysis

    The most effective way to assess and enhance portfolio-level or contract-level catastrophe exposure data is to use Touchstone's Data Quality diagnostics. These diagnostics enable you to determine the strengths and weaknesses of the exposure data you are using for analyses and supplement that data when it is missing or weak.

  • Hazard analysis

    Hazard analysis enable you to identify the relevant catastrophe hazards for locations in your exposure data.

    • Configuring Hazard analyses

      Overview of configuring hazard analyses.

      • Create a new hazard analysis

        Steps to analyze various hazards through a hazard analysis. The profiles produced by a hazard analysis are currently supported only for locations in the United States.

    • Working with Hazard analysis results

      Show or hide results for any of the included hazard profiles.

    • Exporting Hazard analysis results

      You can export Hazard analysis results to *.CSV files.

Configuring Hazard analyses

Overview of configuring hazard analyses.

After selecting an exposure view for a hazard analysis, configure the hazard profiles, diagnostics, and event intensities. The basic tasks include:

  • Create a new hazard analysis
  • Earthquake profile
  • Tropical cyclone profile
  • Flood profile
  • Terrorism profile
  • Severe thunderstorm profile
  • Exposure attributes
  • Event intensities
  • Analysis management settings, such as currency and rate and analysis scheduling.
