Verisk to Launch Updated U.S. Hurricane Model on Synergy Studio June 15
VRSK•Verisk will deliver its reengineered U.S. Tropical Cyclone Model on June 15, 2026 through the cloud-native Synergy Studio platform, integrating an updated stochastic event catalog, peer-reviewed wind-field methodology and enhanced vulnerability modules. The model’s near-present climate view with wind, surge and flooding simulations sharpen insurers’ portfolio exposure assessments.
1. Model Overhaul
Verisk has reengineered its U.S. Tropical Cyclone Model, introducing a revamped stochastic event catalog and enhanced vulnerability modules that better differentiate risk across building ages and construction practices. The update aims to provide insurers, reinsurers and capital markets with more defensible loss estimates tied to modern exposure profiles.
2. Scientific Advancements
The model adopts a near-present climate view, incorporating global warming effects and natural variability to generate physically grounded hurricane scenarios. Peer-reviewed improvements to wind-field methodology, storm surge modeling and inland flooding simulation deliver a more transparent representation of key loss drivers.
3. Platform & Availability
Delivered exclusively on Verisk’s cloud-native Synergy Studio platform, the update enables high-performance analytics, automated workflows and scalable portfolio simulations. Verisk will begin client migrations on June 15, 2026, with documentation and validation resources provided to support adoption.
