CRESTA zones map data for Canada helps to analyse and present natural hazard risk, based on the system established by the world’s leading reinsurers.

CRESTA zones were originally developed as a joint project of the Swiss Reinsurance Company, the Gerling-Konzern Globale Reinsurance Company and the Munich Reinsurance Company. Europa Technologies was part of the original team who brought the standard into the digital mapping era and has maintained a CRESTA zone map data product longer than any other vendor.
Insurance professionals need accurate and reliable maps and databases. In today’s times of climate change, demand has increased for location intelligence to manage risks and reduce exposure. Our CRESTA zones map data for Canada offers insurers an important basis for aggregated risk assessment, exposure management and reinsurance negotiation & reporting.

Applications can be further enhanced by adding a variety of natural hazard data sets such as earthquake locations, storm paths, meteorological, geological and insurance-specific statistical data.
Global CRESTA Plus can be licensed just for Canada, by continent or world-wide.
