| Description |
In the Verisk Wildfire Model for the United States,
locations with highly vulnerable secondary risk characteristics
(such as “wooden shingles” assigned to wall siding and roof
covering, and no defensible space) are producing no loss at high
flame lengths. This is due to the Coverage A and/or B damage
calculation being unintentionally bypassed for locations where the
combination of secondary risk characteristics causes the
vulnerability of the building to exceed the expected maximum damage
ratio for high flame lengths. |
