🔥 Wildfire Preparedness: Know Your Insurance Coverage

With wildfire season underway, now is a good time to make sure you understand your home or tenant insurance coverage before an emergency happens.

Emergency Support Services (ESS) provides short-term assistance to eligible people affected by emergencies and evacuations. However, ESS is not intended to replace insurance coverage, and available supports may depend on your individual circumstances and existing insurance.

Take a few minutes now to:

🏠 Review your home or tenant insurance policy
📞 Know how to contact your insurance provider and start a claim
📄 Keep important policy information somewhere you can access it during an evacuation
🔥 Confirm what your policy covers for wildfire, evacuation and additional living expenses
📱 Keep digital copies of important documents available

If you are evacuated, contact your insurance provider as soon as it is safe to do so to understand what assistance is available through your policy.

Don’t wait for an evacuation to find out what you’re covered for. Being prepared now can make a difficult situation easier.
