Risk Management Solutions (RMS) has confirmed its modeled hurricane activity rates for 2008 to 2012 following an elicitation with a group of the world’s leading hurricane researchers. Results of the elicitation suggest that the average risk of landfalling hurricanes in the Atlantic Basin for the next five years – known as ‘the medium-term view’ – remains at approximately the same level as has been predicted for the past two years, which is significantly above the risk averaged over the long term.
