Insurance Protections Granted for Hughes Fire Homeowners

California Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Lara has expanded the one-year moratorium on homeowners insurance non-renewals and cancellations to include residents affected by the Hughes Fire. This measure protects homeowners from losing their insurance due to wildfire risk, providing stability for families recovering from disasters. The moratorium now covers specific ZIP codes around the Hughes Fire area. Assemblywoman Pilar Schiavo's office advocated for this inclusion after reports indicated that affected residents were initially excluded.
