# Wildfire shutoff exposure for a utility

For one investor-owned utility and three to five counties it serves. County ids from step 1 drive the weather checks.

## 1. Structural risk

1. Resolve each county with @[Wildfire Risk to Communities · Search places](alexandria:wildfirerisk-org/wildfire-risk/search_places) and read @[Wildfire Risk to Communities · Place summary](alexandria:wildfirerisk-org/wildfire-risk/place_summary): risk to homes class and rank. Rank counties within the state with @[Wildfire Risk to Communities · Compare within parent](alexandria:wildfirerisk-org/wildfire-risk/compare_within_parent).

## 2. This week's trigger conditions

2. For each county seat, read @[National Weather Service · Alerts active](alexandria:api-weather-gov/weather/alerts_active) (events Red Flag Warning, Fire Weather Watch).
3. Read @[National Weather Service · Forecast hourly](alexandria:api-weather-gov/weather/forecast_hourly) for wind and humidity over the next 72 hours. Gusty, dry hours are when shutoffs are called.

## 3. What the utility admits

4. Read Item 1A of the utility's latest 10-K with @[SEC · Sections](alexandria:sec-gov/filings/sections) for wildfire liability, mitigation spend, shutoff programs and insurance limits. Quote the exact language.
5. Search @[Nasdaq · Ticker news](alexandria:nasdaq-com/news/ticker_news) for the ticker over 30 days for shutoff announcements, fire ignitions or litigation.

## Write the exposure brief

- **County table:** risk class and rank, active alerts, peak forecast gust and minimum humidity with times.
- **Disclosure:** what the 10-K says about liability, insurance and shutoffs.
- **News:** dated shutoffs or ignitions.
- **Exposure call:** low, elevated or high this week, with reasons.
- **Sources:** cite every figure to the capability and record it came from. Say what could not be found rather than guessing.
