“We’re pleased that the AIR model met all the standards set forth by the Florida Commission,” said Brandie Andrews, senior manager, consulting and client services, AIR Worldwide. “Certification by the Commission gives AIR model users increased confidence in employing our models for all of their catastrophe risk management activities.”

The latest release of the AIR Hurricane Model for the United States incorporates the 2011 update of NOAA’s Atlantic basin hurricane database. This includes storms through 2010 and reanalysis data through 1930.
