Wildfire risk is a massive problem effecting industry and government

Lack of robust tools and current data

  • Wildfire losses are increasing
  • Fragmented, out-of-date forest data, disparate tools and broken workflows give inaccurate exposure data
  • Critical assets and people are endangered
  • Insurance premiums are misaligned to exposure 

 

Massive challenges for insurance and industry

  • Incorrect deployment of capital
  • Not issuing or cancelling insurance policies
  • Unfunded insurance losses
  • Difficulty forecasting cash reserves and cape

Measure risk related to assets in seconds.

  • Instantly calculate wildfire exposure to any location across Canada
  • Select location via map or import locations using .kml files
  • Generate shareable analytics dashboard reports with team members or clients
  • Export risk analysis to PDF or .CSV files

 

 

 

SkyForce Revolutionizes Wildfire Risk Exposure

Automates Wildfire Risk Exposure at Scale
Note to Aliona: This copy should be shown as the ‘steps’ regarding how the platform works — i.e,, we already have the data (no need for client to go and find it/buy it, Next we do automated analytics (one click analytics),then we collabarate and share the data with stakeholders, and then thee customer can mitigate and plan for the risk. Need to build out a dynamic part of the page that shows the Skyforest platforms value – i..e, going from a difficult wildfire assessment approach to using the SkyForest Platform.

(step 1) No Requirement to source data

SkyForest data is constantly updated

No requirement to source multiple data sources

One source of truth: contiguous data across Canada

We constantly add data to improve our exposure layer

(step 2) Automate risk assessments

One click exposure assessments

Run assessments on hundreds or thousands of assets simultaneously

Receive immediate risk exposure assets

Export risk data to tiff, pdf or .csv

Share risk analytics dashboards with clients or internal teams

(step 3) Collaborate

  • Prioritize high risk assets
  • Share risk analytics data with internal risk advisors
  • Notify stakeholders of overall portfolio risk

(step 4) Mitigate

  • Error free, rapid results at scale

(step 5) Monitor

  • Current/historical data in cloud

(step 6)Archive

  • Archive projects once completed
  • Easily retrieve to re-asses assets as forest data changes

 

 

 

Integrating multiple data layers into one exposure layer

SkyForest produces one exposure layer that calculates exposure on a pixel by pixel level.

We are deadly serious about data

Wildfires are deadly. Human life, homes, businesses and critical infrastructure are under threat. SkyForest has developed 6 cross Canada data layers that combine to create the most comprehensive and detailed fire risk map in Canada.

Canopy Height Model

The CHM (Canopy Height Model) provides an estimate of the height of both forest canopies and non-forest land cover types.

Distance to Hazardous Fuel

The distance to hazardous fuel refers to the straight-line distance in meters to locations with a medium or high fuel hazard.

Exposure

Exposure quantifies the potential for an asset situated at a point of interest (POI) to be affected by hazards generated by wildfires, including flames, radiant heat, and embers. It is determined by the fuel hazard near the POI and takes into account the surrounding slopes and their respective azimuths.

Fuel Hazard

Fuel hazard denotes the level of wildfire risk attributed to the presence of specific forest and non-forest fuel types. This hazard is linked to the potential intensity of a fire and its rate of spread upon ignition. Ratings for fuel hazard are categorized as: nil, low, medium, and high.

Fuel Type

Fuel types categorize forests and other combustible land cover types based on the specific type of wildfire fuel present in a given location. This classification is determined by factors such as vegetation type (e.g., grassland or forest), composition (e.g., percentage of conifer trees), and vegetation structure (e.g., height of the forest). FRMG utilizes the classification system outlined in the Wildland-Urban Interface guide.

Percent Softwood Basal Area

The PCBA (Percent Conifer Basal Area) represents the proportion of coniferous trees in a forest canopy. This is determined by considering both the species type and the size of the tree, indicated by its basal area – the area of the trunk’s horizontal cross-section.
