User enters location data and building characteristics into modelThe basic framework for modelling perils is similar. Thisexample illustrates the steps a user would take to arrive atan estimation of modelled losses from hurricane risk to agiven location. 2. Model geocodes location to its geographic coordinates, identifying location s distance to coast 3. Stochastic event module defines event set for specified location and storm type4. Hazard module generates event information including wind speedand storm surge to determine hazard intensity5. Vulnerability module retrieves hazard intensity and generates average damage (ie, mean damage ratio) andassociated uncertainty factoring in building characteristics (eg, roof type, construction type)6.
