BackgroundBackgroundBackground• In January 2007 the Florida House of Representatives

undertook an investigation of the hurricane loss models used in Florida

• Speaker Marco Rubio requested the Commission review and complete various comparisons of the Public Model and the four private models

• On April 16, 2007, the Commission’s Professional Team presented the results of its preliminary analysis to the House Committee on Insurance

• Upon conclusion of the 2007 model review process, the Commission provided a report of the final results to the House Speaker on November 5, 2007

• Today’s briefing provides an update regarding the review and final results of the models

Today’s BriefingToday’s Briefing• Overview of the Commission

• How do hurricane loss models work?

• Why are models different?

• What is the reasonable range of variation, and where do current models fit within that range?

• How have the models submitted to the Commission varied over time?

• Overview of 2007 model review process

• Primary findings of the Report to the Florida House of Representatives, Comparison of Hurricane Loss Projection Models, November 5, 2007

• Current and Future Areas of Investigation

Hurricane Modeling BackgroundHurricane Modeling Background

• Traditional methods of projecting hurricane loss cost were considered inadequate after Hurricane Andrew.

• Hurricane modeling provided a more scientific approach, but has been considered controversial due to the proprietary nature of the models.

• The Legislature recognized the need for expert evaluation of computer models to resolve conflictsamong actuarial professionals and created a Commission.

Page 5: Comparison of Hurricane Loss Projection Models

Creation of CommissionCreation of Commission

• In 1995, the Florida Legislature created the 11 member Florida Commission on Hurricane Loss Projection Methodology (see s. 627.0628, F.S.)

• Panel of Independent Experts formed to “provide the most actuarially sophisticated guidelines and standards for projection of hurricane losses possible.”

Composition of the CommissionComposition of the Commission

• Three actuaries:– OIR (appointed by Director of OIR)– Insurance Industry (appointed by CFO)– Actuary Member of the FHCF Advisory Council

• Experts from the State University System (appointed by the CFO):– Insurance Finance (Actuarial Science)– Statistics (Insurance)– Computer System Design– Meteorology (Hurricanes)

• Insurance Consumer Advocate• Executive Director of Citizens• Senior FHCF Officer• Director, Division of Emergency Management

Overview of Hurricane Loss ModelsOverview of Hurricane Loss Models

• Input Data Bases

• Wind Models

• Surface Friction and Topography Adjustments

• Damage Functions

• Frequency of Occurrence of Events

• Supporting Decisions. For example:What constitutes an event?Spatial aggregation of numerical results

Research/Comparison ApproachResearch/Comparison Approach• Nine wind fields

• Four surface friction methods

• Nine damage (vulnerability) functions

• Three frequency methods

• 9 x 4 x 9 x 3 = 972 models

Other options include changing historical storm data bases, exposures, and other storm assumptions. Result is thousands of possible outcomes.

Page 16: Comparison of Hurricane Loss Projection Models

16

Input Data BasesInput Data Bases• Digital Elevation Model (topography)

Not all models use topographyRidge and valley effects important in upland areas

• Land Cover/Land Use Friction effects to adjust wind impacts on structures at surface

• Historical Storm Track and Intensity DataRequired to simulate individual storms for comparisonwith observed losses. Used as a basis for the determination of frequency of occurrence and other storm characteristics

• Exposure Data SetLocation, characteristics, and value of properties at risk

Why Are Models Different?Why Are Models Different?

• Meteorological input variables

• Historical data

• Land cover

• Exposure data bases and aggregation

Examined many additional aspects of why models differ besides the obvious one of different equations:

Does one or two years of additional history make a difference?

Can climate models be used instead of parametric models?

Summary: Why Models VarySummary: Why Models Vary• Model component selections, especially wind field.

• Meteorological input variables –very sensitive to assumptions, more sensitive than our ability to measure, can drive wind model selections.

• Land cover and other support data basesout of date can make significant difference.

• Spatial aggregation and representationlevel of aggregation can bias results; ZIP Codes, especially in rural areas can introduce significant errors.

Page 25: Comparison of Hurricane Loss Projection Models

25

Where do we stand?Where do we stand?

• While we can’t expect individual models to agree, we can understand the variation we should expect from models.

• With the results of the above studies, especially the results of nearly one thousand public domain hurricane loss models, the Commission has a baseline against which to evaluate individual model submissions.

Overall SummaryOverall Summary

• Fundamentally, models vary because their developers select different, on the surface equally valid, methods to solve the four basic components (frequency, wind, friction, and vulnerability) of loss modeling.

• Even if we could decide on a “perfect” solution for the four components, the uncertainty in meteorological parameters and other input data would cause significant uncertainty in loss costs.

2007 Model Acceptability Review Process(February – April)

• February– Receipt of five (5) model submissions

• March– Commission met to review the submissions and to

authorize the on-site audits– Professional Team provided modelers with a pre-visit

letter outlining specific issues and identifying lines of inquiry that were followed during the on-site audits

– On-site audits begun

• April– On-site audits continued

• May– Additional audits of FPM and ARA– Commission met to determine acceptability of the

AIR, ARA, and EQE models

• June– Additional audits of FPM and RMS– Commission met to determine acceptability of the

RMS model

• August– Commission met to determine acceptability of the

FPM model

Analysis of ChangesOriginal Submission to Final Version*

• Modelers are allowed to make revisions and corrections during the review process

• Impact of changes made during the 2007 review process are highlighted in the following slides

Primary Findings: GeneralPrimary Findings: General

• Aside from some anomalies, the output ranges of models submitted to the Commission under the 2006 Standards (found acceptable in 2007) fall within the range one would expect given the universe of possible scientifically valid approaches.

• Some year to year variation is expected from any model and particularly a young model.

Primary Findings: ComparisonsInvolving the Public Model

Primary Findings: ComparisonsInvolving the Public Model

• The Public Model has more observations below the minimum and above the maximum levels generated by the 972 models used as a benchmark for this study.

• The Public Model observations near or above the maximum loss costs generated by the 972 models tend to be in the lower and mid-level loss cost counties.

• The year to year (2006 to 2007) variability is less than that of ARA, but is generally greater than three of the long-standing private models (AIR, EQE, and RMS).
