Wildfire Risk
Wildfire Risk is a scientific and up-to-date wildfire hazard and risk assessment database. The model accounts for physical, climatic, and man-made variables including slope, aspect, vegetation type, burn frequency, distance to water, special wind event regions, density of non-burnable surfaces, and distance to fire stations.
The net result is a set of uniquely generated fireshed polygons covering the United States with corresponding risk scores. All information is also included at the address level using a unique identifier with additional proximity measurements to uncover further insight around structure specific risk.
Benefits
- Assess wildfire risk exposure using a model that uniquely addresses the varying characteristics of each landscape
- Maximize your bottom line by avoiding high risk areas while identifying pockets of opportunity in generally risky areas
- Understand wildfire risk at the property level rather than a macro region and price business accordingly
- Measure a property's proximity to high and very high wildfire zones as well as the proximity to the wildland - urban interface
- Visualize wildfire risk sheds for all 50 states
