EFRU and Fire Survivors Press Insurance Commissioner Candidates on Wildfire Contamination
On October 22, EFRU joined other fire-survivor organizations and former LAUSD Superintendent Austin Beutner in calling on California Insurance Commissioner candidates Senator Ben Allen and Jane Kim to explain how they would hold insurers accountable for investigating and covering wildfire contamination in standing homes. The letter emphasizes the need for comprehensive testing and remediation, including potentially contaminated attics, wall cavities, and HVAC systems. The coalition requested responses by October 26, seeking clear commitments to protecting policyholders and ensuring homes are properly restored. The concerns raised about insurer practices remain allegations, not established findings.
Action: Read the EFRU partnered letter sent to both Insurance Commissioner candidates.
