Wuuii

We're thrilled to announce our integration with Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety - IBHS and expansion of our Madronus Wildfire Defense service provider network to 80% of Californians with more to come. Insurers, brokers, and property owners can now take advantage of Wuuii's enterprise software and services to protect homes and businesses from wildfires. https://lnkd.in/egunzNch #insurance #wildfire #riskmanagement #losscontrol #homehardening #defensiblespace #wildfireprepared #mitigation #california

Great report from @texasAM and Cedar Park, Texas government how #wildfire resistant features like stucco siding, clay tile roofs, and structure separation allowed fire fighters to safely attack the #PalmerFire when it threatened the #CedarPark community in early August. As one of our local fire chief says, "We need homeowners to create good defense so we can bring the offense." #HomeHardening #DefensibleSpace #Mitigation #Texas #WUI https://hubs.ly/Q02RnjQw0

This clarifies rules that were assumed, so it's a good thing to do now before a catastrophic loss. We hope it never gets put in motion, but every policy dropped by the admitted market is put on the backs of every homeowners insurance policyholder in California. "More than 419,000 properties are now covered by the FAIR plan, which has grown to become one of the state’s primary insurers. Its risk exposure is nearly $400 billion as of June 30, up 26% in six months. Under new details of a plan first announced in July [and after the FAIR plan has exhausted all of its reserves, reinsurance and catastrophe bonds], insurance companies will be required to cover half the cost of losses of up to $2 billion in total claims — $1 billion for residential and $1 billion for commercial. But the other half can be recouped from consumers through a surcharge if the insurance commissioner gives approval." #insurancecrisis #california #wildfire https://hubs.ly/Q02QrFNG0

"...In the most valuable and at-risk watersheds, every dollar invested in forest restoration can provide up to seven dollars of return in the form of benefits and provide a return-on-investment of 600%." https://hubs.ly/Q02PVqyh0 #WildfireMitigation #ForestRestoration #RxFire

Today we recognize wildland firefighters and their families for their dedication, hard work, and sacrifices to protect lives and communities. Also a good time to remind Congress to increase their pay and improve working conditions! #wildfire #NationalWildlandFirefighterDay

Chile has suffered this week: Over 110 people dead and 6000 buildings in communities west of Santiago near Valparaiso, mostly through economically vulnerable hillside communities. Rarely does tragedy offer hope, but in this case there is: a wildfire prepared community took action after the previous fire and survived. Completely intact. #mitigationworks #homehardening #defensiblespace #wildfireprevention https://lnkd.in/gnCFfFHw

The only way out of the #wildfire and #ForestHealth crisis is to upgrade homes AND pair with #ControlledBurning. This Stanford University and Columbia University paper shows why. https://hubs.ly/Q028zqgT0
