Abstract

Using GIS to Model Risk Concentration
Track: Insurance
Authors: Brady Foust

Risk concentration is a measure of the aggregated value of assets at a given point in the context of the location of all assets spread over space. A risk value score can only be calculated using GIS operations. Once calculated, it provides an immediate visulation of risk 'hot spots' and a rank ordered table of potential high risk areas.
