A new name but the recipe for success is the same: In the 2011 version, we are offering both proven and new maps of natural hazards developed by our geoscientists – now as part of the comprehensive NATHAN Risk Suite.
The exposure levels shown on the maps and the experience from major natural catastrophes form the basis for risk assessment and support risk rating calculation – for the first time with a global hazard map for wildfires.
Munich Re is also publishing a new version of the widely known NATHAN Globe of Natural Hazards DVD at the same time. Our extensive knowledge in the field of geo-related risks has been concentrated in this tool. With this product, Munich Re offers a highly flexible assessment tool for identifying complex natural hazard risks. The depth of information provided is ideal for assessing individual risks and is accurate down to the city level.
