Green Shield Risk Solutions Launches Property Guardian Overwatch to Revolutionize Active Wildfire Intelligence & Decision Support

CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Green Shield Risk Solutions, a leader in wildfire risk analytics and insurance innovation, today announced the launch of Property Guardian Overwatch — an active wildfire intelligence and decision support platform delivering best-in-class precision on impacted properties and at-risk areas. A first in the industry, these insights are powered by novel 1-to-14-day spread forecasts that account for localized heat detection, weather, fuel load, and topography.

Overwatch is built to support decision-makers as they prepare for, respond to, and report on their exposure to active wildfire events. In addition to spread forecasts that help users quickly identify at-risk properties and communicate with stakeholders, Overwatch also offers powerful features for viewing on-the-ground activity in real time, visualizing current and changing weather conditions, identifying at-risk areas for wildfire activity, and more.

“As wildfires become more frequent, intense, and unpredictable, traditional approaches to monitoring and mitigating risk simply aren’t enough," said Pat Blandford, Founder & CEO of Green Shield Risk Solutions. “Property Guardian Overwatch is a game-changer, providing the predictive insights and real-time intelligence needed to anticipate threats, deploy resources more strategically, and protect what matters most. It's not just about managing risk, it’s about redefining resilience.”

From Forecast to Follow-Through: The Overwatch Solution

• Monitor Emerging Conditions – Stay ahead of wildfire threats by tracking fire weather, early ignitions, and regional hotspots before they escalate.
• Anticipate and Assess Risk – Leverage 1-to-14-day wildfire spread forecasts and detailed property-level insights to predict impacts and prioritize high-risk locations across your portfolio.
• Coordinate Response with Precision – Get automated threat alerts, triage priorities, and empower teams with clear, real-time intelligence to deploy resources faster and communicate more effectively.
