有鑑於去(2005)年颶風登陸的次數頻繁且強度更強,美國RMS風險管理顧問公司已著手修正年度風險評估模式,將經濟損失風險預估值提高,不再沿用1990-2005年期間平均颶風發生率來評估。據該公司表示,墨西哥灣、佛州及東南部周邊的保險損失平均將提高40%,中大西洋與東北部則在25-30%之間。

Insurance Risk Models Rise With Elevated Storm Frequency, Severity
NEWARK, California, April 13, 2006 (ENS)
Last year's increases in hurricane landfall frequency and intensity have prompted the trend-setting company Risk Management Solutions (RMS) to increase modeled annualized insurance losses compared to those derived using long-term 1900-2005 historical average hurricane frequencies. The insurance loss estimates will rise by 40 percent on average across the Gulf Coast, Florida and the Southeast, and by 25 to 30 percent in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast coastal regions, the company says.
