While traditional insurers continue retreating from wildfire-prone areas, leaving property owners scrambling for coverage, one
company is taking the opposite approach by combining cutting-edge analytics with mitigation-focused strategies.
Green Shield Risk Solutions is tackling the wildfire insurance crisis head-on, proving that with the right technology and expertise, these risks can be successfully managed rather than simply avoided.
Pat Blandford, CEO and founder of Green Shield Risk Solutions, discusses how his company addresses the growing challenge of insurers retreating from wildfire-prone areas by combining sophisticated analytics with proactive mitigation strategies. Unlike traditional approaches that focus primarily on predicting fire likelihood, Green Shield's Property Guardian platform emphasizes making properties insurable through detailed risk assessment and targeted mitigation recommendations.
Blandford shares compelling success stories from the recent Los Angeles wildfires, where properties following their mitigation recommendations survived while surrounding areas were devastated. The discussion also covers the company's expansion plans into other catastrophic risks and the broader ecosystem of stakeholders needed to build truly resilient communities.
