Fire, Climate Change, and Insurance

Jun 19, 2013

The Union of Concerned Scientist is presenting a public forum to discuss how the changing climate will affect wildland fire regimes in Southern California, and how the insurance industry is responding. This forum will be held June 28th from 10:30 to 12:30 in Pasadena. http://action.ucsusa.org/site/Survey?SURVEY_ID=20740&ACTION_REQUIRED=URI_ACTION_USER_REQUESTS&autologin=true

From their flier - 

Wildfires cost California hundreds of millions of dollars each year in firefighting efforts and property damage. With climate change fueling the frequency of wildfires, Californians who live in high-risk areas are facing an additional threat to the availability and affordability of their homeowners insurance.
A public forum on June 28 hosted by California State Senator Carol Liu, with a keynote address by California Insurance Commissioner Dave Jones, will examine the latest climate information about what Southern California can expect in coming years and how insurers, policymakers and consumers can work together to identify the best methods to strengthen our resilience to the impacts of climate change.
RSVP today at ucsusa.org/insuranceca! Bring your questions for the Q&A section. Refreshments provided.
