Hurricane Risk of Multi-Family Dwellings in Puerto Rico
Hurricanes in the North Atlantic Basin cause widespread damage to the Caribbean islands on a regular basis. Catastrophe risk models are used by insurance and reinsurance companies to estimate the average losses one could expect to buildings and property as a result of natural hazards (e.g., hurrican...
