Universal Best Practices for Wildfire Risk Underwriting and Mitigation

This IUA Market Briefing Training session is designed to enhance a greater understanding of wildfire risk and offer a comprehensive set of best practices and practical risk mitigation strategies for exposed properties.

Description

In today’s property insurance landscape, underwriting properties exposed to wildfire presents a significant challenge. As the frequency and intensity of wildfires continue to rise, insurers face mounting pressure to accurately assess and mitigate wildfire exposed properties.

At this training session, our guest speakers will highlight the key aspects of wildfire risk underwriting and mitigation. Attendees will gain an insight into critical fire weather, fuels, topography, and mitigation strategies, including NFPA guidelines for structural hardening and vegetation management.

The session will be led by a former wildland firefighter who battled countless wildfires over a 10+ year career in the fire service and will offer practical mitigation strategies.
