Client Solutions
Built for Every Institution Where Wildfire Risk Concentrates
ForestSat provides customized intelligence interfaces, API access, and verification reports tailored to the workflows of government departments, electric utilities, reinsurers, and corporate forest landowners.
🏛️
Government & Agencies
Federal and state agencies, forest departments, civil defense organisations, national parks, regional planning bodies.
The US DOI FY2026 wildfire budget request reached $6.55 billion — a 245% increase in one year. Yet governments struggle to demonstrate where that money should go, whether contracted work was actually done, and whether risk was reduced. ForestSat closes this accountability gap.
Insight™ — Know exactly where to allocate prevention budgets before fire season
Guardian™ — Convert risk intelligence into operational prevention work orders
MVR™ — Prove to legislature and public what was done and whether it worked
Response™ — Act ahead of the fire front, not behind it

Under California’s inverse condemnation doctrine, utilities are strictly liable for any fire started by their equipment — regardless of negligence. MVR™ provides the independent satellite verification that mitigation was actually executed, creating auditable evidence for regulatory compliance and litigation defence.
⚡
Electric Utilities
PG&E, SCE, PacifiCorp, SDG&E, Hawaiian Electric, European utilities. The combination of aging grid infrastructure in WUI terrain and strict liability exposure creates an existential financial risk for utilities. ForestSat provides the intelligence layer for mitigation planning, execution verification, and regulatory reporting.

🏢
Insurers & Reinsurers
Swiss Re, Munich Re, Lloyd’s of London, Travelers, Allstate, State Farm, Insurance Bureau of Canada, Insurance Council of Australia. Global wildfire insured losses are growing +12%/year (Swiss Re Institute). The insurance industry is fundamentally repricing the wildfire peril — and needs better risk intelligence tools.

- MVR™ — Verifiable risk reduction evidence for premium discounts and policy conditions
- Recovery™ — Objective satellite-based damage assessment for claims processing and subrogation support
The Insurance Case for ForestSat
$458B
CA FAIR Plan exposure vs. $377M cash (Jan 2025). The insurer of last resort faces structural insolvency without market reform — and that reform requires measurable risk reduction. MVR™ provides the evidence.
74% Underinsured
Marshall Fire 2021: 74% of claimants were underinsured (Congress.gov CRS). Recovery™ helps insurers and policyholders understand true replacement cost exposure before and after fire events.
Risk Reduction → Lower Premiums
Verified risk reduction (MVR™) enables premium incentives for landowners who have invested in prevention — creating a market mechanism for prevention adoption at scale.
