  • State Farm canceled hundreds of homeowners' insurance policies in Pacific Palisades last summer, coinciding with the recent wildfires in the area.
  • The insurer cited the growing frequency and severity of wildfires as a reason, indicating a need to avoid "financial failure."
  • California's FAIR Plan has seen its policies more than double from 2020 to 2024, reflecting the ongoing property insurance crisis.
  • Three major fires, including the Palisades Fire, are currently burning in Southern California, exacerbating the challenges for affected residents.
  • State regulations now require insurers to cover at-risk areas, but critics warn this may not be sufficient to avert future disasters.
