CRESTA Zones Map Data
for Norway

CRESTA zones map data for Norway helps to analyse and present natural hazard risk, based on the system established by the world’s leading reinsurers. While peril-independent, CRESTA (Catastrophe Risk Evaluating and Standardising Target Accumulations) has established a uniform and global system to transfer, electronically, aggregated exposure data for accumulation risk control and modelling among insurers and reinsurers.

CRESTA Zones

CRESTA zones map data
for Norway

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 Norway offers insurers an important basis for aggregated risk assessment, exposure management and reinsurance negotiation & reporting.

One of the Nordic countries, the Kingdom of Norway is Europe’s most northern country. It is bordered by Sweden, Finland and Russia and has an extensive coastline, with over 50,000 islands. The capital city is Oslo.
It is a unitary sovereign state with a constitutional monarchy and is divided into eleven administrative counties or fylke, plus some overseas territories. Historically it has had political unions with both Denmark and Sweden; the dissolution of the union with Sweden in the early 20th century resulted in a national referendum whereby the people of Norway declared preference for a monarchy over a republic.
Norway is not densely populated and is becoming more urbanised with the slight rise in immigration. It is a highly developed nation with a reputation for high standards of living and education. Per-capita Norway is the wealthiest country in the world. Since the discovery of offshore oil fields in 1960s, Norway has risen to become a large producer of oil and gas. This industry along with fishing, mineral resources and the service industry contribute considerably to the Norwegian economy. With its stunning coastline, Norway is a growing tourist destination.
Norway is ahead of the game environmentally with 98% of domestic electricity produced by hydro-electric power. It is renowned for music, art and literature. Sport is also important, and Norway performs consistently well in international winter sports.
It is a key player in the international field as a member of the United Nations and NATO.

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 Norway, by continent or world-wide.
