Wildfire risk management: future modelling and technology advances

19 February 2025, 3:00 PM GMT

The devastating Los Angeles wildfires have further emphasised how wildfire-related disasters have become one of the costliest and complicated catastrophe risks for insurers.

Historically classed as a secondary peril, insurers in exposed regions are increasingly looking at this as a primary risk for their businesses.

Join InsuranceERM and Bellwether for this webinar to understand the challenges facing insurers in modelling and managing wildfire risk.

Speakers

Christopher Cundy (Moderator)
Managing Editor, InsuranceERM
Dr Tina Thomson
Head of International Catastrophe Analytics, Gallagher Re

Why wildfire risk is potentially more difficult to model than other natural catastrophes

Insurers’ traditional approaches to wildfire risk modelling in North America and Europe – and have these performed

Why it’s time for a new strategy on wildfire risk

Wildfire risk modelling advances and the role of AI

How to model the impact of climate change on wildfires – and how insurance models must adapt to climate change to avoid uninsurability
