A Guide to Wildfire Risk

Everything you need to know about managing this growing risk.

Understand a growing threat 

As wildfires become more frequent and destructive, you need the right data to assess property risk and make precise decisions about whether to write a risk and how much to charge.  

Other companies offer scores based on models that seem opaque. Our data is easy to understand, and our delivery is transparent. There’s no black box.  

With BurnScout you can quickly see: 
  • Whether a property is in the wildland-urban interface (WUI), an area especially prone to wildfire and one that’s gained millions of residents and structures since 1990. 
  • Whether past wildfires have burned nearby. Wildfires frequently burn in the same areas over and over again, and knowing the pattern helps you assess risk. 

Get data for individual addresses or your entire book of business. 

Covering the contiguous United States

Access data for wildfire-prone states, including California, Oregon, Colorado, Idaho, Arizona, and more.

Manage your concentration of risk 

Get the most value from BurnScout  with a book review. You’ll receive data on all the addresses you insure in the continental U.S. so you can quickly assess where you’ve taken on significant amounts of wildfire-related risk. 

Leverage that information to optimize underwriting, pricing and product development and improve your profitability 

A book review can also enhance your reinsurance reviews. When you identify potential concentration of risk issues and proactively mitigate them before you meet with your reinsurer, you'll be thoroughly prepared for the review.  

When you choose a BurnScout book review, you also gain access to our insurance industry experts, who will guide you through how to maximize the value of the data.
