Address Risk Rating

Risk Frontiers and partner MapData Sciences have launched two new street address based online services - the Natural Hazard Risk Profile Application and the Natural Hazard Risk Web Service. Both services provide “threat by peril” risk ratings for bushfire, earthquake, hailstorm, tropical cyclone, and, where available, riverine flood. The Natural Hazard Risk Profile Application reports can be accessed using credit card payment transactions. This application allows a registered user to determine the risk rating for a property at a chosen street address. Institutional users can access the natural hazards risk rating database as a subscription service via the Natural Hazards Risk Web Service.
