Description: In the early morning of July 26, 2022, an extreme precipitation event hit St. Louis, leading to a new all-time record for daily precipitation and widespread flash flooding in the metro area, with one fatality reported so far. Government officials at the state, county, and city levels declared states of emergency, allowing affected residents and business to access assistance and resources. Several roads and Metrolink stations were submerged and impassable. Metrolink damage is estimated at $18-20 million, with some stations expected to be shut down for two weeks.

Description: This report was developed by the CESRC as an update of one Rob Erhardt prepared in 2016 that compiled a collection of sources that deal with what scientists know and what actuaries could do. Sources have been chosen with practicing actuaries and the public in mind. In the original report, nearly all governmental sources come from the United States. In the update an attempt was made to include sources from actuarial bodies and regulators worldwide. Please let us know if you have a source we did not include as it is anticipated that the SOA will continue to update a list of sources for these topics in the future.
