This Working Party functions as a source of knowledge and expertise within the Actuarial Profession on matters relating to flooding with a particular focus on the UK.
Key objectives:
- develop the Profession’s position on UK flooding – including but not limited to insurance matters (this would cover affordability, availability, and related matters such as resilience and planning)
- produce reference material for UK actuaries when considering flood in pricing, capital modelling, reserving, or related areas such as:
- Relevant factors to consider when selecting and using a model
- Variety in flood events
- Considering climate change
- build on the body of previous work to improve the understanding of flood risk amongst the industry, government, and public including:
- producing a GIRO paper (2015) (and digestible summary) to raise awareness amongst the profession of flood-related issues
- making our findings available to the wider insurance community and informing debate, via participation in third party events
- press releases in coordination with other relevant working parties and sub-committees
- gather data and opinions from the industry to inform the above
- work with industry bodies to report on market developments (availability and affordability of flood insurance) following the expected launch of Flood Re in mid-2015.
