Wildfire Intelligence

Understand residential and commercial wildfire risk with surgical precision

Between 2016 and 2020, over 60,000 structures in the U.S. were lost to wildfire—more than double the total number in the preceding decade. Wildfires are growing in ferocity, frequency, and footprint, and carriers need more granular assessment tools to manage this compounding risk.

CAPE® Wildfire Intelligence brings together cutting-edge geospatial AI, multiple imagery providers, and deep hazard components — all in a single solution.

Key in on Property and Structure-Level Wildfire Risk, Combining Hazard, Vulnerability, and Risk Mitigation Options

The highest resolution imagery available and full U.S. geographic coverage, with the pioneering scale, speed, and accuracy of CAPE’s overlaid analytics, can power decisions that future-proof your business.
