Fyto Autonomous Firefighting is a California-based wildfire protection company. Our mission is to end the destruction of private property caused by wildfires with a specific focus on California and the neighboring states.

As the problem of wildfires grows in scale each year, the risk to homeowners and insurers rises. As the risk rises, insurers withdraw their policies from homeowners with properties in the WUI (wildland urban interface). Redfin estimates that 4.5 million homes will not have insurance against wildfires by the end of 2022.

In this project, we would like to create a system whereby we can calculate the wildfire destruction risk of a specific home.

Deliverables for this project are:

1. Determine a list of addresses, or, if that's not possible, then a list of zip codes that are no longer covered by full wildfire insurance
2. Create a wildfire risk score for homeowners. This will consist of evaluating publicly available data to determine the risk index for an address or zip code.

For example, a risk score of 90/100 would be a very high risk of wildfire damage within 5 years.

These metrics can be defined further and are flexible.
