Abstract
We introduce some of the basic principles behind property catastrophe modeling via simulations. The output of such simulations can be explored via modernized pin maps and loss likelihood curves. We also briefly discuss some of the uses of catastrophe modeling in addition to traditional probable maximum loss estimation. Comments are made on the use of modeling by reinsurers. We hope that this article stimulates discussions on new approaches to catastrophe modeling.
