RMS recently spoke at the RAA's Catastrophe Modeling conference in Orlando, discussing U.S. flood risk, specifically about flood modeling, recent successes and future progress to improving the state of flood modeling.
In this webinar, RMS top global flood experts take a close look at flood peril best practices—from technologies to underwriting guidelines—and answer your most pressing questions and concerns to help you understand, manage and grow your flood business.
Risk on the Rise: Understanding and Managing Coastal Flood RiskRMS
Coastal areas are some of the most developed or developing environments across the globe. These regions contain significant accumulations of exposure and are vulnerable to substantial flood hazard. A comprehensive understanding of those exposures, and the complex hazards that can impact them, is imperative to better manage your flood business.
In this webinar, RMS' Dr. Robert Muir-Wood and Juergen Grieser take an in-depth look at coastal flood risk.
From landfalling tropical cyclones to prolonged seasonal precipitation and failing flood defenses, inland flooding triggers massive amounts of property and casualty loss across the globe. How might you better manage such a widespread and variable peril?
In this webinar, RMS flood experts Chrisine Ziehmann and Arno Hilberts will explore the latest inland flood modeling techniques and provide guidance on what you should know about this complex risk.
Risk on the Rise: Counting the Cost of Inland FloodingRMS
How can you estimate the potential cost of inland flooding?
Stay on top of inland flood risks with a deeper understanding of vulnerability and hazard.
RMS' Dr. Robert Muir-Wood and Dr. Navin Peiris delve into the challenges of reconstructing inland flood events in real time and modeling the vulnerability of the affected properties.
Boston’s New Big Dig: How does U.S. winter storm risk impact your portfolio?RMS
The last two winters have been especially harsh in the Midwest and Northeast United States. Are these winters an anomaly, or do they signal a return to the past, when snow, ice, wind, and freezing temperatures were more common than in recent years.
In this webinar, we explore how this year’s punishing winter fits in the context of overall winter storm risk in the U.S., and the implications for your portfolio on a yearly basis.

Applied Geovisualization for Hurricane Surge Risk Awareness and Emergency Man...Keith VanGraafeiland
Presented at the 2013 CERF Conference in San Diego, California - While storm tracks, intensity forecasts, and tabular metrics have become ubiquitous, they do little to convey the highly localized effects of potential flooding at municipal or facility scales. Visualizations of storm surge forecasts offer opportunities to improve risk awareness and communication in emergency situations. Enhanced visualizations that better communicate “on the ground” potential flooding impacts play an increasingly critical role in risk communication and emergency response. Recent storm surge modeling efforts in Florida, North Carolina, and Virginia will be discussed for their contributions to enhanced risk communication and provision of diverse forms of storm surge geovisualization. In these case studies, GIS and cartographic techniques combine surge forecasts, orthophotography, and building planimetrics for determination of critical infrastructure accessibility, economic losses, and identification of social vulnerabilities. Such applications require cautious and informed use of disparate data (meteorological, geospatial, infrastructural). Awareness of surge model limitations, factors inhibiting spatial representation, and technical and communications challenges is required.

Review of urban flood risk mapping methods to guide risk reduction strategies. Tiered vulnerability assessment for urban storm (overland pluvial and sewer), sanitary / wastewater and riverine systems is illustrated from "Flood Plain to Floor Drain", consistent with the author's design standards guideline for best practices and projects in existing communities. Example risk mapping / tiered vulnerability evaluations in Markham, Ontario and Stratford, Ontario are shown emphasizing where simple and intermediate risk assessment can guide no-regret, practically deployed policies and programs to reduce urban flood risk, and there advanced risk assessment can guide minor and major capital projects as part of more comprehensive studies in high risk areas that warrant infrastructure investments to lower flood damages in specific local systems. Presentation was made as part of the Ontario Urban Flooding Collaborative organized by Green Communities Canada.
Not all risk is created equal. The most successful insurers uncover opportunities amid increasing global uncertainty when armed with a deep understanding of risk.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
