Cyclone

Which climate risk platform is right for your business?

Definition

A cyclone is a large, organised system of winds and storms that rotates around a low-pressure centre. Cyclones can bring high winds, heavy rain, and storm surges, especially in tropical and subtropical regions.

Example in context

An insurer with assets across Southeast Asia evaluates cyclone exposure as part of their catastrophe modelling and reviews long-term projections with EarthScan.

Why it matters

Cyclones can cause severe damage to buildings, infrastructure, and supply chains. Understanding cyclone risk is essential for underwriting and physical risk disclosure in high-risk zones.
