Webinar: LA Fires in Focus – What Insurers Need to Know

With insured losses projected to exceed $30 billion, the recent Los Angeles wildfires are among the costliest on record—reshaping how insurers approach risk, resilience, and readiness.

Join us on May 14 at 11 AM PT / 2 PM ET for a live online event featuring experts from the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS), the Western Fire Chiefs Association, Cal Poly’s WUI Fire Institute, and ZestyAI.

Together, they’ll unpack what really happened—from field-level response to lab-based findings and model performance—and outline the critical strategies insurers can use to prepare for what’s next. 

This webinar is designed for Product Managers, Underwriters, Actuaries, and Risk & Innovation leaders looking to make informed decisions in an increasingly volatile wildfire landscape.

What You’ll Learn:

  • Key takeaways from the Los Angeles wildfires
  • Research on structure-to-structure fire spread and resilience factors
  • How wildfire risk models performed—what we got right (and wrong)
  • Practical strategies to reduce exposure and strengthen resilience
