Advanced wildfire solutions for hazard management
Wildfires have increased dramatically over the past decade, and loss exposure will likely grow with further development in the wildland-urban interface (WUI) and other high-hazard areas. Population growth in fire-prone areas concentrates more insured values where wildfire risk is highest. A more comprehensive understanding of wildfire hazards can guide more proactive preparation and response—implementing wildfire mitigation strategies that reduce losses while maintaining profitable growth in fire-exposed markets.
