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.

Topics to be discussed include:

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
