Wildfire Season Is Heating Up
|
After last years devastating wildfire season, there actually is some positive news on the wildfire front. So far in 2019, w
ildfire activity in the US
is the lowest of the past 10 years, partly due to the very wet spring most of the nation has experienced. In fact, this year through May has been the wettest on record in 125 years of data for the contiguous United States.
Even though this news does make one hopeful for an uneventful wildfire season, summer is just around the corner and conditions will become more and more favorable for wildfires.
According to the National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC),the above-average fire potential in June is limited to the edges of the contiguous U.S., including parts of Georgia and South Carolina, southern Arizona, the California Coast Range, and far western Washington. As the season progresses, the wildfire 'hot spots' do shift throughout the country (see below maps).
If you live or work in an area that is prone to wildfires, it is imperative that you design and implement a wildfire mitigation plan. Being proactive will give you the best chance of protecting your employees, maintaining the continuance of your operations and minimizing financial losses.

HIRED AND NON-OWNED AUTO INSURANCE
Many organizations assume that if they don't own a company vehicle, they don't need auto coverage. This is a very common misconception.
Simply put, Hired and Non-owned Auto Insurance is for vehicles that an organization uses but does not own.
If you lease, hire, rent or have employees using their personal vehicles to conduct company business, it's vital to include Hired & Non-Owned Auto Insurance in your risk management arsenal.
