Preparing for Global Warming and Drought: State of the Homeowners' Insurance Market
March 9, 2016 (Sacramento) Informational Hearing
For each year that California’s severe drought continues, the chance of widespread and devastating fires grows. The purpose of this hearing is to examine the impact of climate change and drought on the availability and affordability of homeowners’ insurance in California’s expanding high and extreme wildfire risk areas. It will look at the increasing reluctance of the major insurers to offer insurance in these areas, the growing role of the surplus lines market, the role of the FAIR Plan as the “insurer of last resort,” and whether legislative or regulatory changes are needed to ensure communities can recover after a major disaster.
