Knowing the wildfire risk of a home is becoming increasingly important — both for homeowners and insurers. However, it is insufficient to simply know that there is a probability of a wildfire occurring at a certain property. It is imperative to understand the development of historic risks into current risks and how this score will evolve in the future. After all, low risk today does not mean no risk tomorrow.While only about 9% of U.S. properties meet the threshold for high or extreme wildfire risk, it is worth questioning why wildfires are creating increasingly large damage figures for homeowners and insurers. In short, climate change, where homes are built, and their construction type all play a role.However, that is not the full story.Understanding how risk scores are created, what a property's risk score actually means, and knowing how to promote mitigation — even among homes that qualify as low risk — are essential strategies for maintaining safety in environments that are experiencing prolonged and more frequent wildfire seasons than usual.In this episode, host Maiclaire Bolton Smith sits down with CoreLogic Chief Actuary Howard Kunst to talk about wildfire risk, how to use a risk score to map those potential threats, and what different actions insurers can take based on the score.In this Episode:2:14 – How do we calculate wildfire risk?3:25 – How are these scores used and why are they different than probabilistic models?7:04 – How long is a risk score valid, and why is it wise to annually evaluate risk scores across a property portfolio?8:52 – What are the thresholds for low, medium and high risk? Why are nearly all U.S. properties low risk?12:08 – Erika Stanley goes over the numbers in the property market with The Sip.13:15 – Why are low-risk areas like Maui, Hawaii seeing wildfire events that cause widespread devastation?Links:U.S. Home Price Insights ReportWildfire Risk ReportHow Will Property Data Help Manage the California Insurance Crisis?Up Next: Can Wildfire Mitigation Stop the California Insurer Exodus?Find full episodes with all our guests in our podcast archive here: https://clgx.co/3zqhBZt

In this episode of Flanigan's Eco-Logic, Ted speaks with Laura Friedman, California State Assemblymember, 44th District. She was first elected to the California State Assembly in November 2016, and represents the cities of Burbank, Glendale, and Los Angeles, as well as the communities of La Crescenta, Lake View Terrace, Montrose, North Hollywood, Shadow Hills, Sherman Oaks, Sunland-Tujunga, Studio City, Toluca Lake, and Valley Village.Laura's legislative work is focused in three primary areas: addressing the housing affordability and homelessness crisis, combating climate change, and protecting vulnerable communities. She has authored a package of bills to create new avenues for communities to tackle the affordable housing crisis, encourage water conservation, strengthen environmental sustainability, protect communities against devastating wildfires, improve access to higher education and health care, and ensure that California's foster youth have the support that they need as they transition to adulthood.She and Ted discuss her background, born in New York, and raised in south Florida. Her mother was very liberal and became an activist in south Florida during the Anita Bryant years, founding the first chapter of NOW in Broward County, which is national organization for women. Laura grew up canvassing for the ERA and abortion rights her whole childhood.She got her start in the private sector working as a film and television executive and producer after receiving her B.A. from the University of Rochester, New York. After working in the film industry for 25 years, she moved to Glendale in 2000, where she was involved with historic preservation work around LA County with the LA Conservancy and was recruited to be on City's Design Review Board for 5 years. Building on her years of community service, she was elected to the Glendale City Council in 2009, served as Mayor from 2011 through 2012, and was re-elected in 2013. She is now running for US congress to be the Representative for the 30th Congressional District in the State of California. Teds asks Laura about her Glendale City Council days, successfully pushing the City to execute all kinds of green initiatives. She also highlights her time in the Assembly, securing over $60 million in funding for key projects across the District, being tapped for several leadership roles in the Legislature, including the Assembly Select Committee on Urban Development to Combat Climate Change, and being recognized as a steadfast advocate for the environment, sustainable communities, and active transportation.

On Today's Show: https://thehotshotwakeup.substack.com/ Full operation update. Fires start to wind down around the nation. Canada continues to be active. I cover the multiple tree strikes that recently happened in the Pacific Northwest on wildfires. One firefighter was struck in the head, and another was struck while escaping the falling tree, striking their hip. Governments decide to go all in on AI systems while abandoning their workforce. Canada welcomes new AI swarm systems and brings in Microsoft to solve detection problems. Microsoft says Canada and the U.S. can save money with their AI detection systems by replacing humans… California begs insurance companies to come back to the State. They sweeten the deal by allowing them to increase rates up to 200% in some rural communities and seemingly allowing them to use Wild Fire Risk Maps to set rates… Something I predicted two years ago.

Wildfires, hurricanes, and droughts caused by climate change are finally starting to get our attention in mainstream media and the public consciousness. But these changes in climate are even more extreme in Antarctica, a fragile and diverse ecosystem that the entire planet relies upon, even more than the Amazon rainforests. But what can we DO about it? While in Antarctica, host Michael Hernandez talks with climate scientist and naturalist Zachary Brown about what–and WHO–is behind the climate crisis, and some surprising and unexpected solutions. This episode was produced as part of Michael's Lindblad Expeditions/National Geographic Grosvenor Teacher Fellowship.

Nacho acts as a service dog for the host, particularly when he watches his favorite football team, the San Francisco 49ers. Andrew shares that Nacho has a keen sense of his anxiousness during games and tries to alleviate it by staying close and being petted. Occasionally, Nacho may become a bit noisy and howl or grunt if the host stops petting him. Despite these occasional outbursts, the host finds Nacho's behavior endearing and appreciates having him as a service dog while watching the 49ers. During the episode, the host discusses attending a recent conference related to their day job in public sector software. They aim to share their experience and provide valuable tips on networking at conferences, especially for individuals who may not know many people in attendance. The host emphasizes the significance of building networks and expanding one's connections as a means to advance their career. Furthermore, Andrew highlights the significance of voting for politicians who prioritize addressing the climate crisis. He mentions a mass protest in North America, particularly in the US and Canada, urging President Biden to halt the approval of new oil and gas leases and projects. Andrew stresses the need for individuals to stay informed about politicians' actions across the political spectrum and make informed decisions for the benefit of the climate and the planet. The episode also acknowledges the power of protests and organized movements in influencing politicians to reconsider their stances and listen to public concerns. Andrew encourages listeners to engage with their elected representatives and continue advocating for meaningful change regarding climate change.

A little over a month ago, the world watched in horror as fast-moving flames leveled the idyllic oceanside town of Lahaina on the Hawaiian island of Maui. The fire had started just that day but winds from a distant hurricane swept the flames into a firestorm that killed more than 100 people, making it the deadliest American wildfire in more than a century. Similar things happened around Montana this summer, thankfully with no deaths reported. But there were other similarities between them: A new fire grows rapidly, fanned by hot and dry winds, to quickly threaten a town. And that happened as Montana has seen a remarkably quiet season for wildfires by some measures. On this episode Joshua Murdock, outdoors and natural resources reporter at the Missoulian talks about the River Road East Fire outside of Paradise, Montana.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

With this integration of retail and digital commerce, consumers desire authentic, interactive content. How can you optimize your product detail pages to emphasize the voice of the shopper?

Product reviews are one of the most reliable conversion drivers, so curating and emphasizing positive reviews on your PDPs is critical. You can generate authoritative content from reviews by launching product unboxing and testing videos on multiple social channels. While many brands leverage influencers to create these videos, Tom recommends using loyal customers to shift the focus from brand awareness to the voice of the shopper.  Join Aaron Conant in today's episode of The Digital Deep Dive as he welcomes the Co-founder and CEO of Cohley, Tom Logan, back to the show to discuss optimizing content for the shopper.
