ABOUT THIS WEBINAR

Recent wildfire seasons, especially in western states, have been some of the most costly and destructive on record. Join us on March 17 for a webinar that will feature a discussion of the recently released Wildfire: An Issue Paper—Lessons Learned from the 2017-2021 Events.

Speakers provided an overview of wildfire peril, the importance of mitigation methods, and the impacts of climate change. They discussed the current effects of recent wildfire seasons on the insurance industry and policyholders and provided a review of recent regulatory actions and potential public policy responses.

This webinar was presented by the Academy’s P/C Extreme Events and Property Lines Committee.
