In its capacity as a centre of excellence for catastrophe modelling and data, EIOPA is providing European supervisors and insurers with expertise, studies, tools and data to enable them to effectively assess, monitor and supervise these catastrophe risks.

The centre of excellence allows national and European public authorities to gain a common understanding of catastrophe risks, take preventive measures and address the insurance protection gap.

Lastly, it helps improve public awareness of risks related to catastrophes.
