Our Mission

The SoCal Fire Preparedness Fund is a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping Southern California homeowners improve preparedness, strengthen resilience, and support long-term insurability in an increasingly complex risk environment.

We believe that proactive preparedness creates stronger homes, safer communities, and better outcomes during emergencies.

Through education, assessments, preparedness initiatives, and resilience-focused programs, we seek to provide homeowners with practical pathways to better protect their property and improve their readiness for future challenges.

Why We Were Started

Southern California homeowners are navigating a dramatically different environment than they were twenty years ago. Wildfire behavior has changed. Insurance markets have changed. Emergency response systems have been stretched. Grid reliability challenges have increased. At the same time, many homeowners are unaware of the resources available to help them improve resilience and preparedness. The SoCal Fire Preparedness Fund was established to address this gap. Our goal is to provide homeowners with information, resources, and preparedness opportunities that help them make informed decisions before an emergency occurs.

Preparedness and Insurability Are Closely Connected

Insurance companies increasingly evaluate factors that reflect a property’s overall resilience profile.

Examples include:
  • Roof age and condition
  • Fire-resistant construction materials
  • Home hardening measures
  • Property maintenance
  • Water-loss prevention measures
  • Backup power capabilities

Turning Preparedness Into Action

For many homeowners, understanding what improvements should be made is only part of the challenge.

The larger challenge is understanding how those improvements can be implemented and funded.

The SoCal Fire Home Resiliency Program™ helps homeowners navigate this process by connecting them with program-approved service providers and implementation partners who can help execute the preparedness strategy outlined in their assessment.

Your Resilience Improvement Options

Depending upon the property and homeowner objectives, recommendations may include resilience-focused improvements such as Class A fire-rated roofing systems, backup power solutions, home hardening measures, emergency preparedness enhancements, and participation in resilience-focused initiatives supported by the Fund.

Funding & Financial Support

The program also helps homeowners understand available financing options, tax incentives, and other resources that may help reduce the effective cost of resilience improvements.

Why Resilience Matters

Our Vision

We envision a Southern California where homeowners are better prepared for wildfire events, more resilient during emergencies, and better equipped to maintain long-term access to homeowners insurance coverage.Prepared homes create resilient communities.

Resilient communities create a stronger Southern California.
