Description: Recent LA wildfires exemplified the devastating impacts of compounding weather extreme events. This webcast explores the inherent risk posed by various types of compounding events, proposes statistical techniques to quantify the impacts of compounding events and how this will evolve under a warmer climate. As compound events continue to evolve, it will become increasingly important to monitor and consider risk models and analyses to provide more comprehensive and accurate risk assessments and, ultimately, support more effective disaster preparedness and mitigation efforts. One way to improve preparedness is the underwriting of these risks through geospatial imagery and high-resolution image technology, which have spurred advances across many industries. The webcast will further discuss the importance of building footprint data for risk assessment and examine how building data and vegetation cover data can be used in calculating underwriting wildfire risk metrics.
