Wildfire Risk

Wildfires are natural hazards that don't always result from a natural occurrence. A single misplaced cigarette or campfire can wipe out entire communities – and also the health of a portfolio. As our growing population and associated residential development expands into high-risk wildfire areas and increases the number of properties in the Wildland-Urban Interface, property and casualty portfolios are becoming more exposed to wildfire risk.

Wildfire property risk layers from CoreLogic can be delivered according to your business needs – and most recently include an easy and affordable desktop option which gives even smaller companies the ability to manage their book of business’ wildfire risk and more accurately price individual policies.

• Scoring the wildfire risk – 5 to 100 – based on a property’s distance to high risk vegetation
• Accurately identifying the structure’s proximity to high risk vegetation, the WUI, and the surrounding area’s residential density class – without expensive on-site visits
• Ranking – on a scale from very high to low – the risk of brushfire based upon landscape factors such as slope, aspect, vegetation (fuel) and surface composition. This means you can more accurately price individual policies
