Overview
Kinetic Analysis Corporation is the leading data provider of near real-time tropical cyclone hazard and impact data. We translate active storm forecasts for tropical cyclones across the globe into detailed geospatial hazard footprints (wind, storm surge, wave and rainfall) and damage ratios for a wide range of asset classes to support business, operational, emergency and risk management decisions. When combined or integrated with additional geospatial intelligence (such as asset information, socioeconomic data, communication/situational awareness dashboards and analytics toolsets) our tropical cyclone hazard data enable deep insights into potential impacts from tropical cyclones. For tropical cyclones that are up to 5 days from making landfall or affecting an asset, our multi-model approach captures the range of potential outcomes with forecasts from different agencies and supports robust planning and decisions. We can provide hazard footprints from global (e.g., a combination of forecasts from the NHC, CPHC and JTWC, and forecasts from the ECMWF and the UK Met Office) and regional forecast centers (e.g., JMA and Australian BoM). We can also provide estimates of the interquartile range for damage ratios for asset classes ranging from residential structures to infrastructure such as ports, airports, antennas and electricity transmission lines.
