AIR Worldwide consulting and client services senior manager Brandie Andrews said: “We’re pleased that the AIR model met all the standards set forth by the Florida Commission. Certification by the commission gives AIR model users increased confidence in employing our models for all of their catastrophe risk management activities.”
