Over the past two decades, wildfires have burned an average of seven million acres per year and are an intensifying hazard worldwide. At Swiss Re, we are familiar with the profound impact of wildfires and the damage they can cause, and our goal is to provide the best risk view to our clients. That is why we have partnered with Bellwether @XTheMoonshotFactory from Google’s parent company, Alphabet. By building tools that incorporate geospatial data and machine learning to better understand and predict changes in the physical world, this model adds a different risk view and provides new insights to our CatNet® solution. This complements our existing layer of data by providing more granular insights.
Join Anil Vasagiri, Head of Property at Reinsurance Solutions and Sarah Russell, Managing Director with Bellwether at X, the Moonshot Factory, as they unpack the challenges of modeling wildfire perils and the future of wildfire risk models.
