Fire officials, lawmakers, and insurance agents are urging homeowners to mitigate wildfire risks by making property improvements, with the state investing $3.7 billion in forest management. However, some insurance companies are halting policy issuance due to rising risks and costs, impacting home-insurance affordability and availability.
State lawmakers are advocating for mitigation to influence insurance premiums and policy offerings. State Senator Josh Becker highlights the state's substantial investment in wildfire risk reduction since 2017, with efforts including fuel reduction, vegetation management, and bolstering Cal Fire staffing.
