Volcano Scan

Which climate risk platform is right for your business?

Definition

What is Volcano Scan? Volcano Scan is a portfolio screening service offered by Mitiga Solutions that identifies assets in a portfolio that are exposed to volcanic hazards such as ash fall or lava flows and pinpoints the relevant volcanoes. It helps organisations to quickly assess their volcanic risk and make informed decisions about resilience measures such as purchasing risk transfer solutions.

Example in context

A global infrastructure investor uses Volcano Scan to identify which assets are located near active volcanoes and may require deeper volcanic risk assessment.

Why it matters

Volcanic hazards are often overlooked in traditional risk analysis. High-resolution catastrophe models need to be run individually per volcano and are costly. Screening tools like Volcano Scan help organisations identify hidden risks early and prioritise detailed assessments.
