Frank Frievalt, director of the WUI FIRE Institute, recently participated in a discussion about the WUI Data Commons with experts from the insurance, fire service, catastrophe modeling, and actuarial professions. This initiative aims to enhance wildfire resilience for insurers and communities through data transparency, addressing the increasing impact of large and destructive wildfires on WUI communities and homeowners insurance markets. Other participants included Dr. Ian Giammanco from IBHS, Ryan Vigus from CSAA, and Nancy Watkins from Milliman.
