Nevada Division of
Insurance Holding Town Hall Meeting on the Impact of Wildfire Threat on
Insurance
Carson
City, NV — The
Nevada Division of Insurance has scheduled a Town Hall meeting in Incline
Village, Nevada to discuss the impacts of wildfires in the Western United
States on homeowners and condominium insurance.
The Town
Hall meeting will be held at 10:00 am on Friday, June 28 at the Donald W.
Reynolds Community Center located at 948 Incline Way in Incline Village.
Wildfire
activity across the West over the past decade has led to higher homeowner
insurance rates and challenges to insurance companies when issuing insurance
policies in certain areas including the Tahoe Basin.
“The threat
of wildfires in Nevada and the West are creating challenges to consumers and
communities,” said Nevada Insurance Commissioner Scott Kipper. “The Division of
Insurance is hearing from those impacted and I feel that it is important that
consumers have an opportunity to share the impact directly with the agency. Our
goal is to not only hear from community members but also to share what the
Division is working on and what can be done.”
