Taking forward the work completed in 2019, the Large-Loss database will be relaunched with a new upload site that additionally elicits flood loss data and incorporates improved field categories for describing business type, location of fire, and ignition sources. A new means of providing data for analysis via excel templates will also be made.
Motivation for this project include:
- A requirement to improve insurance loss data collection and quality
- A requirement to extend data collection to include Flood (in addition to fire)
- A requirement to improve accessibility to the data
- A requirement to improve analysis of the data
- A requirement to assure data security (GDPR)
Key deliverables of this project include:
- New upload site (for loss adjusters)
- New delivery site (via the RISCAuthority website)
- Re-analysed datasets to new fields
- Analysis templates
