Wildfire risk is one of the most pressing challenges utilities face today, with regulators, insurers, and communities demanding action. Overstory’s Director of Wildfire Science and leaders from PG&E and PacifiCorp share their experiences surveying long-term risks, testing technology, and evaluating which mitigation activities deliver the highest value. 

Why it matters
Wildfires are becoming more frequent and severe, putting utilities under unprecedented pressure. By understanding where risk is highest and which mitigation strategies deliver real impact, utilities can move beyond reactive measures and make smarter, targeted investments that protect people and infrastructure.

What you’ll learn 

  • How leading utilities measure wildfire risk and make decisions on where to act first
  • Which interventions provide the highest impact, and how to scale them for smaller budgets
  • How technology and wildfire science are helping teams turn insights into operational programs
