The Verisk Wildfire Risk Analysis used data from FireLine®, Verisk’s wildfire risk management tool. FireLine evaluates wildfire risk at the address level. The service uses advanced remote sensing and digital mapping technology to assess the primary factors that contribute to wildfire risk—fuel, slope, and road access—to determine the wildfire hazard score. FireLine also identifies properties located in Special Hazard Interface Areas, indicating risks exposed to wind-borne embers.
