Meeting the Escalating Wildfire Threat to Reinsurance

Presented by

Connie Masella, Property and Marine; Wyn Jenkins, Intelligent Insurer

About this talk

Wildfire has shifted from a seasonal to a year-round volatility driver, and 2025 proved how quickly the risk is expanding into regions once viewed as marginal. Hotter temperatures, persistent drought and rapid WUI growth are amplifying loss severity, while legacy cat models lag behind the pace of change. For reinsurers, that means tougher pricing decisions, sharper aggregation stress and harder calls on capacity. This webinar tackles how to get ahead of those modelling gaps and strategic pressures. By attending this webinar, you will: -Explore how reinsurers can enhance modelling and data analytics to better quantify wildfire exposure and loss potential. - Discuss approaches to managing aggregation risk, capital allocation, and coverage design in wildfire-prone markets. - Examine the influence of climate adaptation measures, regulatory developments, and mitigation incentives on future underwriting and reinsurance strategies. Speakers: - Connie Masella, Executive Underwriting Officer of Property and Marine - Moderator - Wyn Jenkins, Managing Editor, Intelligent Insurer
