Washington consumers most at risk from wildfires deserve our help
Media contact: Public Affairs, (360) 725-7055
The following is an open letter to Washington consumers from Insurance Commissioner Patty Kuderer, Medical Lake Mayor Terri Cooper, and Steve Brooks, Executive Director of Washington Fire Chiefs on why they support bringing transparency to homeowners about their wildfire risk and giving them additional resources to protect their property.
Washington state and much of the west is experiencing a snow drought, and that does not bode well for our wildfire season. No one understands the impact of this better than fire chiefs whose teams battle these fires and mayors who have had to rebuild their communities afterwards. Everyone, including insurance companies, recognizes the growing risk to homeowners. It’s up to all of us to help our communities improve their resiliency, and this starts with supporting the property owners who are at greatest risk.
