- {{disaster_focus}}: The specific disaster type(s) to focus on (e.g., earthquake, flood, pandemic).

- {{risk_metrics}}: Any specific risk metrics or thresholds to consider (e.g., value-at-risk, probable maximum loss).
Instructions
- Ask for missing context if needed.
- Analyze the geographical distribution of policyholders and identify regions with high exposure to the specified disaster.
- Evaluate the financial impact of past catastrophic events on reserves and project future risk based on trends.
