How can we better understand wildfire risks? [Episode 13]

Nov 3, 2025

In this week’s episode, Nancy Watkins, a principal at Milliman Inc., talks through the modern landscape of wildfire mitigation and how data can help us better understand the complexities of the Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) so we can better understand risk and fortify communities against wildfires.

Host Stuart Yasgur and Nancy Watkins explore how wildfire prevention may create new problems and how the insurance industry doesn’t always recognize homeowners who are hardening their homes to keep their individual homes and community safe.
