Abstract
Kinetic Analysis Corporation specializes in the generation and delivery of a multi-model view of hazards, damage and impact data for tropical cyclones occurring anywhere in the world. This information can provide crucial insights into the potential impacts from a tropical cyclone and support planning and response. For real-time events as well as for historical events and plausible scenarios, we provide deterministic, multi-model hazard data for wind, wave, storm surge and precipitation as well as damage ratios for a wide range of assets based on multiple damage function families. Kinanco also offers probabilistic views of tropical cyclone hazards and damage ratios for multiple asset classes.
