Wildfire Recurrence Score

Our Wildfire Recurrence Score provides first-view hazard intelligence for underwriting — forecasting when and where fire is most likely to return.

Go Beyond Hazard Maps

The Wildfire Recurrence Score is a composite risk metric that helps insurers and reinsurers quickly triage wildfire hazard during underwriting. Updated weekly, it forecasts both the likelihood and timing of wildfire recurrence across the continental U.S., giving underwriters a defensible first view of risk.

Triage & Efficiency

Focus resources on high-risk accounts, streamline low-risk decisions.

Underwriting Confidence

Incorporates advanced models, not just static hazard layers.

How It Works:

  • Recurrence Risk: Forecasts how soon the next fire is likely to occur, based on recurrence intervals.
  • WUI & Neighbor Hazard: Captures the influence of nearby fire activity and built-environment context.
  • Wildfire Exposure Class: Simplifies community exposure into intuitive tiers (High, Moderate, Low, Very Low).

The result is a Composite Recurrence Score mapped to five clear categories: Very Low, Low, Moderate, High, and Very High.
