Westrope to Offer New Catastrophe Risk Assessment System
Kansas City, Mo.-based. Westrope has announced that it has

U.S. earthquake and hurricanes.
“Recent catastrophes have put an emphasis on the need for better risk
management practices” said John Klag, executive vice president/chief
operating officer of Westrope. “Understanding exposure to catastrophic loss is critical to making solid risk management decisions. RMS was chosen for its position as the market leader with a state-of-the-art catastrophe model that reflects the latest in scientific research and data availability.”
