The California Department of Insurance recently posted a new web page for Wildfire Data and Analysis, a “one-stop” resource for wildfire information. Under Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Lara, the Department has increased its collection of data in order to inform policy actions that protect consumers.
The page includes:
1. Annual residential insurance policy count data from 2015-2021
2. Wildfire risk reporting information
3. Statewide commercial data
4. Insurance companies currently offering home and community hardening incentives
5. “Home Insurance Finder” for insurance companies that write in higher fire risk areas, among other information
