Megan Fan Munce: CEO of California’s third-largest home insurer says state will still be insurable after L.A. fires

"The ongoing Los Angeles wildfires are the pinnacle in a series of bad blazes that have plunged the state’s insurance market into a state of deep crisis.

But the CEO and president of the third largest home #insurance company in the state believes that #California, and its wildfires, are still insurable."

The CEO of CSAA, California’s third-largest home insurance company, still sees the state as a viable market despite the historic wildfire losses in Los Angeles.

What blows my mind is that so many people who have lost everything are still offering to help others in need.
Los Angeles has proven to be a stand up community in the face of extraordinary adversity.
Jamie Lee Curtis has posted these places to help on Threads. We have already donated to the Fire Department and will continue to donate to other relief efforts. If you are able, please help. #lafires #lafires2025 #losangeles

What governments need to do whenever there's one of these gigantic insurable disasters is distribute money (billions) divided appropriately within the insurance industry so that the burden doesn't create insurance premiums like we're seeing in places like Florida

Victims of the #LAFires: don't let the insurance companies gaslight you. After trump is sworn in, the government will be against you like it was against Puerto Rico during #HurricaneMaria. Get together and make a plan and set sail for #Lenai and take it from trumpist Larry Ellison. No jury in the land will convict you. #VivaLuigi!

The Los Angeles fires have devastated the historically Black neighborhood of Altadena. This was perhaps the first middle-class Black neighborhood in California, as it was a rare area not subject to redlining. Many whose homes were destroyed lived in homes passed down for generations 💔

Historic Black neighborhood of Altadena reduced to ashes in Los Angeles Wildfires

Amongst the thousands of acres set aflame by the Los Angeles wildfires, Altadena, a historically Black neighborhood, is left incinerated.

People with disabilities are so often not considered or only minimally so in almost everything that happens in society.
Natural disasters amplify that.
A terrifying recounting here by a man who fled the fires in his wheelchair on the street, as wheelchair-accessible cars couldn’t get to him and the sidewalks were inaccessible.
Most of us will be disabled at some point in life, even if only temporarily due to an illness or surgery.

Friends,
The following is the best account I’ve read of the fire that’s consuming Los Angeles. It’s from Steve Schmidt’s substack, The Warning. (steveschmidt.substack.com.

“….The scale of the conflagration is biblical. These epochal fires will join Chicago and San Francisco atop an infamous registry of American destruction….”

If anyone wants to help the victims of the LA fires (including animals), please visit:

https://laist.com/news/climate-environment/how-to-help-la-fire-victims

There are sanctuaries in the area taking animals, but there is a need for foster homes for pets affected by this.

We don't live there anymore, but we have an emotional attachment to it—so it hits home for us. Please disseminate widely. I want to be sure people are able to reach legit resources.

LA Fire Chief Crowley is now saying that the budget cuts are actively cutting into their ability to respond to the continuing LA fires.

In a letter a month ago the fire chief warned that the budget cuts would impact maintenance
, air crews and slow down onboarding new fire fighters. Cuts which would hamper their ability to respond to extended emergencies just like this one.

Experts and links to that letter from the chief 👇🏿

So, AirBnB has a promotion—excuse me, I mean generous, humanitarian offer—to house evacuees of the #LAFires for free. Did you know that most AirBnBs in Los Angeles are illegal? That they drive up housing costs by keeping rental units permanently vacant? That there is next to zero enforcement by the city (which, coincidentally has a city council comprised almost entirely of landlords)?

Not that I would encourage anyone to book a place who doesn't genuinely need it in this moment, but if you or someone you know is in the position of needing to take advantage of this offer, there is a grassroots illegal short-term rental mapping project that you should absolutely use.

The LA Fires Are Exposing the Predatory Nature of For-Profit Insurance

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5_6tNtG4S4

The LA fires are exposing the predatory nature of for-profit insurance.

2.8 million California homeowners had their fire insurance canceled because the companies knew what was likely to come.

Food for serious thought.

"Australia is not well-prepared for scenarios such as this. But rather than be fatalistic and assume urban areas are open game for wildfires, effort is needed from all levels of government and community to reduce the risk of fires impacting suburban and semi-suburban areas.

"That means better boundaries between houses and keeping fuel loads low. It also means households, councils and fire authorities having a plan for when fires hit. This may mean implementing planning rules to enforce safer gardens or the clearing of bushland behind homes. But such measures will be controversial in many cases."

Could what happened in LA occur here? Short answer: Yes

Australia has all the ingredients for bushfires to burn into suburban neighbourhoods.

For the love of god people need to stop flying drones near wild fires while aerial fire fighters at work. A fire fighting plane struck a drone and now needs repairs.

The issue obviously being that these planes must fly right down to the deck below the typically allowed 400ft flight ceiling of consumer drones.

Not a wise time to be sharing your drone photos of LA, might get some unwanted attention from the FAA

Really conflicted about the overemphasis on vegetation as ‘the problem’.

It has always been the case that it is humanity that needs to respect and adapt to nature, and not the other way around. The climate crisis exacerbates this humanity-nature relationship.

It is modern humanity that has forgotten this relationship, and cut corners and costs required to manage our living environment.
