Temblor, Inc.

Temblor, Inc. is a catastrophe modeling company founded in 2014 by former USGS scientists Ross Stein and Volkan Sevilgen. The company's mission is to raise awareness of seismic risk by providing accurate and transparent seismic hazard and risk assessment. Temblor serves various communities including the public, insurance, reinsurance, insurance-linked security companies, and mortgage lenders. Unlike other catmodelers, Temblor bases its models on recent published and independently-tested scientific analyses, offering an independent, unbiased, and transparent assessment of risk. The company's product range includes dynamic hazard and loss forecasts after large earthquakes, an internationally consistent insurance loss model, stochastic event sets, and the highest-resolution global site amplification model available today. Furthermore, Temblor calculates a building-level Temblor Earthquake Score that combines all factors impacting loss into one risk pricing and selection number. In addition to serving industry professionals, Temblor also provides the public with accurate and accessible earthquake information through its platform, Temblor Earthquake News. This platform publishes breaking earthquake news, in-depth analyses, and expert reporting on natural hazard developments, all produced by a team of scientists, science journalists, and leading international researchers. The latest investment in Temblor, Inc. was a $50.00K grant received on 17 June 2020 from the National Science Foundation. With its innovative approach and mission-driven focus, Temblor, Inc. is poised to continue making meaningful contributions in the field of seismic risk assessment.
