Risk Model guide

How to build a screening scenario

Five simple steps

  1. AreaFind a place and draw one analysis boundary. Move or edit it as needed.
  2. EventChoose Current / recent, Historical date, or Custom scenario, then review its source evidence or assumptions.
  3. FootprintDraw assumed low-to-severe affected zones. Where zones overlap, the highest severity wins.
  4. ExposureLoad population, dwellings, and mapped infrastructure, then calculate the affected subset.
  5. ReviewCreate a snapshot or choose Save PDF. In the browser dialog, select “Save to PDF”.

What the result means

Population and dwelling estimates use 2021 Statistics Canada dissemination areas selected by a representative centroid. Infrastructure uses returned OpenStreetMap feature points or centres. Riskademy intersects those records with the severity zones, counting overlaps once at the highest severity. These are screening estimates—not predictions of damage, claims, coverage, reserves, or financial loss.

Riskademy

A collection of risk intelligence, insurance references, and practical tools made by a claims professional, for other claims professionals.

Why it exists

Claims work often requires switching between news, public records, weather information, terminology, organizations, and calculations. Riskademy brings those resources into one focused workspace.

What it provides

Canadian insurance news, reference directories, terminology, weather and incident research, risk monitoring, and browser-based calculators for common insurance workflows.

Built from practice

The site is made by a claims professional with the goal of creating useful, understandable resources for people working through real claims and risk questions.

Riskademy is an educational and informational resource. Its content and AI-assisted features may be incomplete or inaccurate and do not replace legal, financial, underwriting, claims, risk-management, or insurance advice.
