Minutes

Decision recap for "by address" view:

• 3 views:
  1. address
  2. muni
  3. hazard
• and we have a download page

Review by address discussion:

Murray: - Probability is represented as a mean value (percentage).

• need contextual information to explain the terms
• there is a standard scale that we use

Generally agreed that we should have a learn more section/modal dialogue

• perhaps point to USGS resources?
  • Murray:
    • cue card explaining the concepts in the address view
    • use the same approach but with more detail for the muni view
  • Jamie:
    • really short supporting text for the probability and then we link to a training session

Discussion on Risk Section:

• Jamie - confirmation that we are going to filter by building type

• Tiegan - would like to see something on financial risk - perhaps loss ratio Retracted

  • “We expect a moderate fraction of this asset to be lost…”
    • for homeowners, this might be impactful
  • Malaika - damage level allows homeowners to infer financial loss
    • what about retrofit?
  • Murray - loss ratio is really important - we don’t need to provide a number
  • Sahar - would be nice to know the extremes on a continuum
    • Murray the ratios provide the likelihood Jamie - we need to think more about the retrofit piece
