“One of the oldest financial sector industries is insurance, in modern times several hundred years, so there has been a process to build numerical skills to estimate risk and that includes the risk that a floods going to come through or a storm will damage the roof, so the statistical methods to do it are reasonably mature, obviously rare, extreme, uncommon events, but a whole discipline around how to do that.
