Wildfire threat shows relentless growth
Managing wildfire risk has grown rapidly as a priority for insurers operating in states exposed to this peril. Insurers are facing new regulatory measures to address the rating of property coverage in wildfire-prone areas. Rising temperatures, extreme droughts, and altered precipitation patterns extend wildfire “seasons” to virtually year-round. Continued development within high-risk areas creates a high potential for increasing loss exposure.
