Wildfire risk is changing across the Sierra, bringing new challenges for homeowners, communities, and California’s property insurance market. As climate conditions intensify, reducing wildfire risk is increasingly important—not only for protecting lives and property, but also for maintaining access to affordable insurance.

Join the Climate Transformation Alliance (CTA) for an informative evening exploring the connections between wildfire risk, climate change, insurance, and community resilience. Hear from experts on California’s evolving insurance landscape and learn about practical steps homeowners and communities can take to reduce risk and strengthen their resilience.

What You’ll Learn

The forum will cover:

• Climate and wildfire risk: Understand projected climate impacts in California and the Sierra and how changing conditions are affecting communities and property owners.
• California’s insurance landscape: Learn about challenges in the property insurance market, the California FAIR Plan, insurance reform, and efforts to build a more resilient system.
• Practical wildfire mitigation: Explore strategies such as home hardening, defensible space, property inspections, and participation in Firewise communities.
• Insurance discounts and coverage options: Learn about wildfire mitigation programs and emerging approaches that may help property owners qualify for insurance discounts or access private coverage.

Whether you’re a homeowner, renter, business owner, neighborhood leader, or Firewise participant, you’ll leave with a better understanding of the challenges ahead and resources to help you take action. The evening will also include opportunities to ask questions directly of experts in insurance, wildfire mitigation, and community resilience.
