Verisk Analytics expands collaboration with NFPA

Verisk has expanded its collaboration with the National Fire Protection Association, NFPA, to provide wildfire risk and mitigation data from its Firewise USA recognition program to 12 additional states in the western U.S. Verisk first collaborated with NFPA in 2020 and has continued to foster that relationship over the years. In 2021, Verisk began leveraging data from NFPA’s Firewise USA Program, which tracks thousands of communities engaging in wildfire mitigation efforts. Verisk uses that dataset for property-level analytics that insurers can use to refine underwriting and support carriers’ needs for regulatory compliance resources. Through this extended agreement, Verisk will now expand its license from California to mitigation insights for the remaining western coverage states, including Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Oregon, Texas, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming.
