Wildfire risk is no longer theoretical — it’s a planning, insurance, infrastructure, and community challenge happening right now.
In this episode of The Anchorpoint, hosts Jay Rosenthal and Reva Seth speak with Colin Daniel, President of Apex Resource Management Solutions (ApexRMS), about how advanced ecological modeling and risk technology are helping communities, insurers, and governments better prepare for wildfire.
Colin explains how ApexRMS combines open science, high-resolution data, and predictive modeling to assess wildfire hazard at the property level — enabling smarter planning long before a fire begins.
The conversation explores:
How wildfire risk modeling actually works
The difference between hazard vs. risk assessment
Why validation and open science matter in climate technology
Real-world deployment with Indigenous communities in Canada
The growing role of insurers, utilities, and municipalities
Canada’s investment moment in wildfire preparedness
Expansion of Canadian fire-tech innovation into Europe and Australia
The Anchorpoint brings together the people building practical solutions for a world under pressure — from climate risk and wildfire to resilience systems shaping what comes next.
