Severe wildfires in Colorado and Texas continue to highlight the fact that these events are not isolated to California. According to recent U.S. population statistics, 100 million people now live in neighborhoods exposed to wildfire throughout the country. And this population shift puts increasingly larger numbers of people and properties at risk.

Join us for this informative web seminar as Mark Breading, partner with SMA, Lamont Norman, Product Director with Pitney Bowes Software, and Chris White, co-founder of Anchor Point Group, discuss the importance of wildfire risk data in today’s changing landscape and explain how insurance carriers can utilize new wildfire risk models to more accurately identify, assess and mitigate risk exposure from these catastrophic events. In particular, you’ll learn how this model can:

• Locate properties that are in or near wildland areas but have low risk
• Define nationwide risk scores by coupling wildfire loss data and wildfire risk
• Calibrate wildfire risk with historical loss data to predict portfolio exposure

Using state-of-the art information-gathering and verification for fuels, elevation, aspect, weather and probability of ignition, this wildfire model will help carriers underwrite in high value areas where their competition cannot.
