California insures homeowners in fire zones, blocking policy cancellations for a year.

California Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Lara has implemented a one-year moratorium preventing insurance companies from canceling or non-renewing policies for homeowners in areas affected by the recent Palisades and Eaton wildfires. This move, effective until January 7, 2026, aims to provide financial security to residents in and near the fire zones, helping them avoid additional stress during recovery. The moratorium applies to all homeowners within the fire-affected perimeters and adjoining ZIP codes, regardless of whether their properties were damaged.
