Proxix Solutions Unveils the Next Generation in Storm Surge Modeling
Palm Harbor, FL (March 21, 2006) – Proxix Solutions, a leading innovator in developing geospatial software, data and integrated solutions, today announced the release of its newest hazard risk model, Coastal Storm Surge. Coastal Storm Surge is the first hazard risk model that incorporates all offshore and onshore variables to provide an accurate and consistent methodology for determining storm surge risk.
“Coastal Storm Surge defines the next generation of storm surge risk modeling. Our model is the only one of its kind that combines detailed coastline water, elevation and wind speed databases providing insurers highly accurate information to assess and understand their storm surge risk in coastal areas,” stated Howard Botts, EVP, Proxix.
Coastal Storm Surge is a comprehensive risk model that assesses storm surge risk for the Atlantic and Gulf Coast states. Using a unique methodology, Proxix hazard scientists incorporated offshore (wind speed, hurricane speed, storm track, barometric pressure, tide and water depth) and onshore (human and natural barriers and elevation) variables into the model along with a range of storm heights derived from category 1-5 hurricanes. The resulting model is categorized into five highly detailed risk polygons ranging from Very High to Low Risk.
Coastal Storm Surge easily integrates into the enterprise through a number of license or service options.
