Abstract
ICRM-CAT is a NatCat risk modeling platform introduced by ICRM in July 2015. It consists of two cat risk models developed by ICRM under funding by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), specifically a Jakarta flood risk (JKT FL) and a Singapore Earthquake (SIN EQ) risk assessment model. The models quantify the relevant hazards, assess the exposures and vulnerabilities from inputs provided by end-users, and compute the relevant loss risk metrics. This platform utilizes only open-source software components, specifically GIS, relational database and display/report generation components. Users can use the models by providing necessary exposure inputs and can visualize model outputs via map overlays, tables, charts and reports. An ICRM-CAT Users’ Manual is further provided to facilitate ready use. ICRM-CAT is currently available to industry users for non-commercial use.

Event Catalogue
36 subduction events, 27 strike-slip events, and 10 events in the deformation zone closest to Singapore
Vulnerability Modifiers
Based on detailed building specific information.
Primary Modifiers
  • Height or number of storeys
  • Main construction type or material
  • Occupancy Type (e.g., residential, commercial)

Comments
Several ground motion models for all sources used to model ground motions on rock in Singapore to capture ground motion uncertainty and propagate it to loss level.. Limited event set contributes to probabilistic analysis
