#DYK? Verisk collaborates with the National Fire Protection Association® (NFPA®) to provide community-level mitigation insights and help support a more comprehensive risk management strategy for wildfire in western U.S. states. In 2021, Verisk began leveraging data from NFPA’s Firewise USA Program, which tracks thousands of communities engaging in wildfire mitigation efforts. Verisk uses that dataset for property-level analytics that insurers can use to refine underwriting and support carriers’ needs for regulatory compliance resources. #Wildfire #Risk #Insurance #Underwriting #Firewise
