Configuring a Deterministic Loss Analysis

For the Terrorism peril, you can run a Deterministic Loss Analysis for locations anywhere in the world. A Deterministic Loss Analysis evaluates a specific terrorist attack scenario, such as the detonation of a 6-ton TNT bomb hidden in a delivery truck parked at a specific location. Touchstone provides the capability to estimate property and casualty losses and workers' compensation claims due to a potential terrorist attack.

To perform a Deterministic Loss Analysis:

1.     Create a custom event set for the scenario in the Event Set Management module of the Administrative Console.

2.     Configure the Detailed Loss AnalysisSettings, choosing the event set you created from the Event Set field menu.

3.     Run the Detailed Loss Analysis.
