Understanding California's Insurance Crisis

Thank you to those that joined the Insurance Town Hall meeting last night. Below is the recording, with presentations from the speakers under the Supporting Documents section.

Seven of the top 12 insurance companies have stopped selling new insurance in California in response to worsening wildfires. Hear from:

• Staff from the California Dept. of Insurance about the history of the fire insurance crisis and the status of the emergency regulations
• A representative from United Policyholders about how to shop and best handle triple-digit rate increases and non-renewal notices

Join us for this important town hall on Wednesday, March 6th at City Hall starting at 7 PM; the event will also be livestreamed on the City's YouTube Channel and Comcast Ch. 27. You may also join via Zoom:
