This post is part of a series organized by the quota.
Where the forest fire ends and a configuration begins, there is a fading between it. But, without understanding both types of fires, their dynamics and their unique dangers, it is impossible to develop a comprehensive risk management strategy related to forest fire.
Forest fire is an uncontrollable fire that usually begins in wild areas and is largely fueling natural plants. On the other hand, a dispute occurs when the forest fire spreads in a constructed environment and is created in the structure of the structure. Flames are faster and faster than the material made from the fuel -made material, the traditional forest fire.
Once the forest fire turns into a dispute, the flames can only burn communities to the ground in just two hours or less.
Conflict is increasing, which is why Kotty launches forest fire configuration model – the first solution of its kind to analyze the risk of conflict in each structure.
Although the traditional wildfire models are fully focused on this risk, the new model of quotation is dedicated to assessing the risk of configuration in a constructed environment.
The use of a conflict -related risk assessment tool combined with the traditional forest fire risk diagnosis such as the Kotty Wild Fire Risk Score (WFRS) enables insurance companies to create more comprehensive risk management strategies. With the mechanism only to look at all angles of the forest fire risk, insurance can provide more coverage in high -risk areas.
Wildfire and Configures: a distinction that matters
Historically, devastating risk management professionals categorized forest fire as “secondary risks”, believing that they did not test the same level of modeling, such as traditional “basic risks”, such as hurricanes and earthquakes. But after a decade -long loss of forest fires, the devastating community now ranks forest fire as a “emerging secondary risk”, which enters the “primary” ranks of hurricanes and earthquakes.
The increasing intensity of forest fire over the past decade has forced many property insurance providers to change their risk of hunger. They are leaving the areas affected by the forest fire, suspending some policies, and increasing the premium substantially.
This increase in the destruction of forest fire is not due to the weather samples dramatically transmitted or just because of firearms. In fact, the reason is that the forest fire is rapidly affected by the forest fire, which includes 2023 Maoires and 2025 Los Angeles fire.
Once the urban threat is considered, now the suburbs and even in the rural areas are more frequent. The running of this trend is expanded to the Wildland-Barbon Interface (WUI)-where human development comes from the natural forest field. These zones have grown rapidly in the era of remote work and growing property values, as the earth in Vui, especially in California, especially in California, is much cheaper for the proximity to natural views and nature. The number of new landlords in these areas enhances the potential fire in the inadvertently – quite literal.
Since 2020, there have been 10 major conflicts that encourage forest fire, which have resulted in the loss of 26,000 structures in the United States, which has only damaged Los Angeles’ forest fires in just $ 35 to $ 45 billion, according to Kotty ™ data. At least every other year, with such events, insurance companies need to measure the high risk that configuration can bring in their portfolio.
A dual approach to a natural risk
With conflicts in the mixture, the forest fire offers a complex, multi -dimensional threat. Although “all natural” risks are different, they are not irreparable. With the right risk strategy and digital tools, insurance can make more data -rich risk decisions, which will allow them to work in the Wui.
Cotility offers dual scenes of non -home fire risk through two highly granular, nervous risk models. These two separate views that help insurance help see the blind spots of the past, a comprehensive review of the risk of non -home fire for any property.
The Kotty Wild Fire Configulations Model returns 1-100 scores that insurance can use with 1-100 wildfire risk scores to achieve a comprehensive theory of any property LIR fire risk. Each score reflects separate factors that play an important role in the risk of configuration and forest fire, respectively, providing straightforward, viable tools for Anders and Risk Managers.
Wild Fire Risk Score (WFRS) considers the following for any property:
- Risk on property
- Distance to high -rise areas with danger
- Distance to Wylandland
- Air
- Drought
This score is zero on natural forest fire risk and potential impact on properties Ago The constructed environment comes in the way.
Then, the configuration score of the forest fire considers the following:
- Structure features such as roof and siding mixture, firearms attachments, and window material
- Building density
- The direction of the wind
- Features of weather and climate
- Amber component and all types of nearest plants
Why are both scores necessary
The use of both scores on each property is necessary because a type of fire risk property cannot be a threat to the other. A property that is at risk of very low forest fires – is far from Wui to raise traditional anxiety – can be at risk of much configuration. The recent analysis of the quota identifies thousands of properties within the palcedes and the Eaton fire, which poses a low risk of forest fire but is at risk of high conflict.
When insurance takes advantage of both scores in the decision -making process around capacity, underworld, and even pricing, they will have a comprehensive risk of risk at the property level.
Configure in the core part of the forest fire
The capacity of insurance companies that is important to the United States for long-term survival of insurance systems and home ownership in high-risk areas.
Kotty’s new wildfire configuration risk score, now available in California and other western states, is an important addition to any modern forest fire risk strategy. This is a toolset in the market that answers two important questions: How will the fire start? And, to what extent will it go?
The time has come for the conference to be made a part of the forest fire conversation – and it has been demanded that it be demanded.
