This data includes payments from admitted carriers, the California FAIR Plan, and surplus lines insurers.

Ritter stated, “Insurers are committed to helping Californians recover and rebuild from the devastating wildfires in Southern California.”

She added, “From the onset of the wildfires, insurers have been on the frontlines assisting customers with disaster recovery – proactively reaching out to impacted customers, setting up help centers, and deploying Catastrophe Teams to help residents get claims started and secure emergency housing, food, clothing and other resources in their time of need.”

Ritter emphasised that the claims paid so far are just the beginning and that the recovery process will be long. Insurers will continue working alongside residents and businesses to help rebuild Southern California.
