J. Knaff attended a workshop on 20-22 March in Hamilton, Bermuda. He was among a team of five invited scientists who interacted with various NOAA stakeholders in the insurance, re-insurance, and risk modeling communities. The goal of the workshop was to provide feedback of the relative validity of the latest RMS hurricane risk model (RiskLink v11.0) and identify/quantify uncertainties. The RMS model is widely used to establish insurance rates in the U.S and elsewhere. The invited scientists represented NOAA, Florida State University, and the London School of Economics. (J. Knaff)
