Abstract: The insurability of natural disasters has always been an issue faced by the insurers, states, and insured persons. In France, the insurer and the legislator are concerned about the subsidence risks due to several consecutive dry years. More and more open data are provided in France, which allows insurers by geolocating their portfolio to have better knowledge. This knowledge plus the increase in subsidence risks query the insurability of the subsidence risk. Using mostly GLMs, the most common models used in France, this paper shows the improvement of the knowledge subsidence risks. The results bring to the fore the importance of legislative control and the recently enforced new CatNat program, leading authors to question the CatNat fee stagnation.
