U.S. Wildfire Model
Record losses of $13B across California
2017 was a catastrophic year for wildfires across the United States, particularly in the Napa/Sonoma area and in Southern California. Over 10 million acres burned in total, and countless lives and property were lost. Unlike other natural hazards which may not occur every year, wildfire damage is expected annually—the only questions are where and to what extent.
These catastrophic losses underscore the need to quantify risk potential to support risk transfer requirements and capital adequacy for insurers.
[NEW] 2019 Wildfire Risk Report
Over the past several years, the United States has experienced record-breaking wildfires. In 2018 alone, 8,767,492 acres burned, roughly equivalent to 74 of the 75 largest cities in the United States combined. This is the sixth highest total since modern historical records began in the mid-1900s.
