Bulletin 2013-04
Catastrophe Model Interrogatories

The purpose of Bulletin No. 2013-04 is to provide assistance to all property and casualty insurers using catastrophe models to support proposed rates filed with the Louisiana Department of Insurance. While modeling specific to the hurricane peril is the focus of this bulletin, the guidance provided should be used for other perils where applicable. Completion and submission of the Catastrophe Model Interrogatories is mandatory when a personal lines rate filing relies on a catastrophe model(s) to support the proposed rates.

Please note: Part A of the Catastrophe Model Interrogatories is to be completed by the insurer. Part B is to be completed by the modeling company.
