Who it's for

Price and accumulate Indian flood risk on Indian terrain

Location-level flood depth and a 0–100 Flood Score for underwriting, with batch screening across a whole book in a single call.

Free & open

Free, with no login: browse the 100-year layer and check individual locations, so you can test the hazard data against your own claims history before any commercial conversation. Portfolio calls, tiles, other return periods and climate scenarios are paid tiers — the free tier is a single point on the 100-year event, rate-limited, and is not a production entitlement.

The problem

Indian flood is one of the largest and least well-modeled perils on the subcontinent. Global vendor models often thin out at Indian resolution, and the terrain data underneath them is where the error concentrates.

Underwriting still frequently falls back on district-level proxies or PIN-code averages, which cannot distinguish a raised plot from the low ground across the road.

And accumulation is hard to see until it is realised — a book can be concentrated inside a single floodplain without that being visible anywhere in the portfolio system.

In practice

5 ways this gets used

Each one is a real workflow — who does it, the situation, the steps, and what comes back.

  1. 01

    Screening a risk at point of quote

    Underwriter

    A submission arrives with an address. You need a flood view fast enough that it does not slow the quote.

    1. Call the point endpoint with the coordinate
    2. Read the modeled depth and the 0–100 Flood Score
    3. Apply your own acceptance and loading rules to the score

    What you get: Depth and a hazard score at the risk location, fast enough to sit inside a quote flow.

  2. 02

    Running the book for accumulation

    Exposure management

    You need to know how much of the portfolio sits in one floodplain — the question that only matters before the event.

    1. Submit the portfolio in a single call
    2. Get depth and score for every location from one windowed read
    3. Aggregate by depth band and geography to find the concentration

    What you get: A book-level exposure view built for accumulation rather than assembled from individual lookups.

    POST /v1/portfolio
  3. 03

    Supporting a reinsurance submission

    Cedent / broker

    A treaty submission is stronger when the flood exposure is characterised independently rather than asserted.

    1. Run the portfolio through the layer
    2. Present exposed share and depth distribution alongside your own loss history
    3. Cite the published methodology rather than a proprietary black box

    What you get: An independent, documented characterisation of the flood exposure in the book.

    POST /v1/portfolio
  4. 04

    Climate stress testing

    Risk / capital modelling

    Regulatory and internal stress testing increasingly asks what the same book looks like under a warmer climate.

    1. Request the 1% event modeled under future-climate rainfall
    2. Re-run the same portfolio against the future scenario
    3. Compare exposed share and depth distribution between the two

    What you get: A like-for-like comparison of the same book under current and future rainfall.

    On request — SSP2-4.5 & SSP5-8.5
  5. 05

    Triage after an event

    Claims

    After a flood, the constraint is deciding which notified locations to inspect first.

    1. Batch the notified locations through the layer
    2. Sort by modeled depth to prioritise likely severe damage
    3. Use the hazard layer as a triage signal, not as a settlement basis

    What you get: A prioritised inspection list — with the explicit caveat that this is hazard, not observed damage.

What costs what

Free
Browse the map and check whether a location is inside the 100-year floodplain, under today’s climate. No login. Single-point API lookups are rate-limited and are not a production entitlement.
₹499
The Property Flood Report — a detailed flood-risk report for one specific property, with the NEER Flood Score: a single 0–100 rating for that exact plot, the modeled depth behind it, a satellite flood map and the method.
Organization
Portfolios, area exposure and map tiles.
Enterprise
All return periods, future-climate scenarios, batch reports, higher limits and SLAs. Bulk data delivery is licensed case by case.

Organization and Enterprise are commercial plans — see the API page or talk to us. Return periods other than the 100-year event, and climate scenarios, are not part of the free layer.

What this data will not do

This is a hazard model, not a loss model — it returns depth and a hazard score, not damage, downtime or expected loss. It covers riverine and pluvial flood, not cyclone storm surge. Vulnerability curves and financial modelling remain yours.

We publish the limits next to the numbers. A risk map that hides its own weaknesses isn’t a public good.

Request sample data

We can run a sample of your book against the layer so you can see the fit before committing.
