In this episode of The UVM Podcast, Steve and Nick explore the complex intersection of Utility Vegetation Management and the insurance industry with a focus on insurance for UVM Service Providers. With increasing risks from wildfires, storms, and climate change, insurers are re-evaluating their coverage models for utilities. The episode addresses how proactive vegetation management can impact insurance claims, liability assessments, and rate structures.


Our hosts also discuss real-world examples, changes in insurance underwriting practices, and opportunities for better alignment between utilities and insurers to mitigate wildfire and storm-related damages. This timely conversation sheds light on how UVM professionals can prepare for a future where insurance plays a larger role in operational and financial planning.

The episode format is a round table and the guests are:

  • Jett Abramson, EVP at Amwins Group
  • Mark Shipp, Senior EVP and Practice Leader from Hub Arbor Insurance Group
  • Joshua Caudill, Founder and President, Safety Leadership Innovators 

A big thank you to this episode's sponsor, Clear Path Utility Solutions.
