Future fires - Weathering the fire storm

The "Future Fires - Weathering the fire storm" report examines conditions contributing to an increase in both the number of wildfires and the length of wildfire seasons.

In this report:

• We explore how wildfires start and expand to what is being done to fight them, including safety checklists and a look at new and improved technology.
• From a risk standpoint, the report also examines what Allianz Global Corporate & Specialty (AGCS) is doing to help our clients in the area of claims settlements and catastrophe coordination.
• Sustainable solutions that make a positive environmental impact and address weatherrelated concerns are included.
• And finally, we look at the additional challenges fire fighters must deal with in light of COVID-19.

With business owners facing the ‘new normal’ of a seven-month wildfire season, rising temperatures, public safety power shutoffs, COVID-19 - all compounded by riots and civil unrest - wildfire preparation will be more critical than ever this year. To meet the myriad of challenges taking place during these unprecedented times, AGCS has teamed up with the Insurance Information Institute (Triple-I) to provide businesses with some of the most stringent risk mitigation practices for safeguarding their establishments.
