Is America Burning? How Insurers Can Better Manage Growing Wildfire Risk 2022 | Insider Engage | 23 August 2022 | Webinar

The U.S. is the epicenter of wildfire risk. All but three of the 19 most expensive wildfires, costing more than $1 billion in losses occurring in the U.S. Of all wildfire losses paid by the insurance industry since 1950, 70% has occurred since 2015 alone, according to Aon. Population shifts, climate change and new state guidelines can make it a complex peril for insurers and reinsurers to underwrite – but it remains an insurable risk, when using the right tools.
