Wildfire Exposure Risk Management

Actuaries and underwriters can pinpoint potential wildfire hazards with the Fireline wildfire service from Atmospheric and Environmental Research (AER). This situational awareness and monitoring service enables re/insurers to:

• Underwrite new business
• Manage aggregate wildfire exposure
• Educate customers to improve wildfire risk exposure, improve safety and protect lives and property

Fireline projects and maps wildfire risk for 9 western states

During significant wildfire events, AER monitors and projects situational awareness maps provide  for our customers. By combining risk factors and satellite imagery, the service determines wildfire perimeters from a variety of sources mapped against high-resolution fuels data.

The wildfire product combines fuel, slope and road access factors into a wildfire hazard product. We make these critical wildfire maps available in a variety of forms such as GIS data, service API calls or database tables.

The wildfire exposure and risk management services provided by AER are typically delivered in the FireLine™ service of ISO®, a division within the Verisk Analytics® family. AER clients that prefer a custom approach should please contact us.
