Premium levels and coverage availability are not publicly obtainable at the locality grain this node operates at. The Insurance Council of Australia data it draws on answers a narrower question: whether a locality's postcode has any recorded catastrophe event on file, 2013–2026. It is now named the Catastrophe History Index. ##### Reading the certified value The node certifies as a presence/absence signal, not a rate or severity score. A small number of source events span many postcodes at once — widespread floods and cyclones — so most Australian localities carry a "has recorded history" reading over this window, and the certified values cluster into two bands. The node is excluded from its parent composite's coverage-confidence propagation.
