How California Fires affect insurance

The recent California wildfires are having a significant impact on the insurance industry. Here are some key points:

  1. Increased Premiums: Insurance companies are facing losses of up to $30 billion from the wildfires, and as a result, they are seeking premium increases of between 30% and 50%. This means homeowners in high-risk areas can expect to pay significantly more for their insurance.

  2. Policy Non-Renewals and Cancellations: Many insurers have declined to renew existing policies or write new ones in California due to the high risk. Over 100,000 Californians have been dropped from their insurance carriers since 2019.

  3. State-Backed Insurance: The California FAIR Plan, a government-backed program, has seen a surge in policies as private insurers pull out. This plan offers higher rates and a maximum payback policy instead of a replacement policy.

  4. Travel Insurance: Travelers planning trips to California might consider purchasing travel insurance to protect against disruptions caused by wildfires. Policies with "cancel for any reason" (CFAR) add-ons are becoming more popular.

  5. Economic Impact: The wildfires have caused widespread economic damage, with early estimates putting the total economic impact between $250 billion and $275 billion. This includes damage to homes, businesses, and infrastructure.
