The latest #JCRR article introduces “Metryc”, a probabilistic modelling system designed to capture the distribution of spatial wind risk at landfall in terms of local-scale wind gusts.
Following a similar philosophy to Monte Carlo based risk assessment samplers, Metryc simulates 100 different scenarios with a range of estimates for:
(1) the location of maximum winds
(2) the shape of the wind field, and
(3) the impact of local terrain. -

On June 11 2026, the Royal Meteorological Society, the Lighthill Risk Network, and UCL hosted an afternoon workshop – Understanding Research Priorities in Natural Catastrophe Insurance.
In this Comment Article for #JCRR, the authors share valuable insight into the topics, questions, and discussions from the day's sessions: https://journalofcrr.com/comment/04-06-lamb-et-al/

The objective of this latest research paper on #JCRR is to understand the impact on insured losses of changes in the frequency-severity distribution of landfalling #hurricanes.
For the research, authors Ruth Petrie, Dongwon Han, Ludovico Nicotina, Adam Alvarez, and Tyler Cox, Inigo, present a frequency-aware quantile mapping (FAQM) approach for adjusting #hurricane wind speeds and losses in catastrophe models: https://journalofcrr.com/research/04-02-petrie-et-al/

As explored by Scott Kehler and Matthieu Desorcy, Weatherlogics Inc, in this free-to-read paper, a majority of the variation in the hail-thunderstorm ratio can be explained by elevation.

The Journal of Catastrophe Risk and Resilience is #DiamondOpenAccess. We don't charge submission fees, and we do not charge for readers to access our content either - but that doesn't make our peer-review process any less robust.
Our chosen reviewers are experts; our editorial board is a team of specialists in their associated fields. They volunteer their time because the key to addressing #climate challenges is through the open exchange of knowledge and ideas: https://journalofcrr.com/research/

“Not all climate risk products are created equal.”
#ClimateChange is increasing the risk of atmospheric perils - which in turn is causing broader uptake of #CatastropheModels.
But as the authors of this recently published #JCRR research paper reveals, the range of loss estimates from the state level to the asset level varies: https://journalofcrr.com/research/04-01-dusseau-et-al/

“Publication of model validation analyses is vital as [catastrophe] models have a large influence on society through the insurance, financial, and real estate systems... Not only is validating these models crucial to ensure risk is not over or underpriced, but these financial signals motivate market behaviour that determine risk exposure.”
“Validation and Comparison of U.S. Loss Estimates from Catastrophe Flood Models” is available to read here: https://journalofcrr.com/research/04-01-dusseau-et-al/

In 2021, the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) began a major pricing reform to better align premiums with property-level #flood risks and to improve the solvency of the program. However, as the authors of this #JCRR article indicate, “past experience shows that when #insurance prices increase, many homeowners [...] simply drop or reduce coverage and maintain their location choices, leaving them financially vulnerable in the event of flooding”: https://journalofcrr.com/research/03-07-gourevitch-et-al/

Our reasoning behind the #JCRR ethos is simple: we believe that to address global challenges requires open and transparent data and ideas.
Knowledge needs to be shared, best practice must be imparted; and it must be accessible to all. We look forward to continuing this journey in 2026 - and hope you will join us.

Insurance is critical for financial recovery following climate-related disasters, particularly for low-income households.
However, with premium increases in response to the growing cost of climate impacts, there are concerns that coverage may become unaffordable for many households, leading to a decline in insurance uptake.
The result? Existing #FloodInsurance protection gaps increase, impacting on recovery outcomes following #flood events: https://journalofcrr.com/research/03-07-gourevitch-et-al/

It assumes the future is the same as the past and the most widely used benchmark in meteorology [...] instead here we assign exponentially decreasing weights over time”: https://journalofcrr.com/research/03-05-toumi-sparks/

In this article, Scott Kehler and Matthieu Desorcy, Weatherlogics Inc., examine the relationship between elevation and the hail-thunderstorm ratio, discovering that the #hail hours and hail days climatologies in the paper show a national maximum in hail occurrence along the lee of the Rocky Mountains in Alberta (Alberta foothills), with secondary maxima in the interior of British Columbia and the southern Prairies: https://journalofcrr.com/research/03-06-kehler-desorcy/

Hail is a major source of insured losses in Canada; it is also responsible for significant agricultural yield losses. However, despite the risk, recent public hail data is very limited.
In this recent #JCRR paper, authors Scott Kehler and Matthieu Desorcy, Weatherlogics Inc., explore whether elevation data and a thunderstorm climatology can be used to produce a reliable #hail #climatology: https://journalofcrr.com/research/03-06-kehler-desorcy/
