flag California updates fire-risk map to boost insurance coverage, but omits some high-risk neighborhoods.

flag California regulators updated a map of fire-risk areas to encourage insurers to offer more policies, aiming to stabilize the home insurance crisis amid worsening wildfires. flag However, some high-risk Bay Area neighborhoods, like parts of Oakland, Berkeley, and Gilroy, were excluded because they are in ZIP codes with lower overall risk. flag Insurers must still cover homeowners in these areas if they can't find traditional coverage, but critics doubt the reforms will hold insurers accountable and fear rising insurance rates.
