Your Pathway to a Fire-Resilient Home
How The Program Works
This tailored program guides homeowners through a personalized property assessment to deliver a customized roadmap for improving fire resilience and securing financial incentives.
The SoCal Fire Home Resiliency Program
- 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.
SoCal Fire Preparedness Fund
A New Approach to Wildfire Preparedness, Home Resilience, and Long-Term Insurability
Southern California homeowners face a very different environment today than they did just a generation ago.
Wildfires are larger, more destructive, and more costly than ever before. Insurance carriers have reduced participation in many California communities, homeowners insurance premiums continue to rise, and Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) events have become an increasingly common reality during periods of elevated wildfire risk.
At the same time, many homeowners are unaware of the practical steps available to improve their home’s resilience and preparedness profile.
The SoCal Fire Home Resiliency Program™ was developed to help address these challenges.
SoCal Fire Preparedness Fund
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.
Why Resilience Matters
Preparedness is about more than protecting property.
During wildfire events and emergency situations, resilient homes can provide families with valuable time, flexibility, and security.
A well-prepared home may be better positioned to withstand wildfire-related threats, maintain critical functions during Public Safety Power Shutoff events, and support emergency response efforts when normal infrastructure is disrupted.
Resilience can also play an important role in long-term property ownership by helping homeowners maintain and improve the overall condition of their homes.
As insurers increasingly evaluate property condition, roof age, fire resistance, and other risk-related factors, preparedness and resilience improvements may also help support long-term insurability.
The VPP Advantage: Safety, Value, and Affordability
The SoCal Fire Resilience VPP™
As part of its commitment to preparedness and resilience, the SoCal Fire Preparedness Fund has developed a resilience-focused Virtual Power Plant (VPP) program designed specifically with homeowner preparedness in mind.
Accessing The Program
The SoCal Fire Home Resiliency Program is currently available exclusively through participating homeowners insurance professionals throughout Southern California.
Homeowners currently working with a participating broker may contact their insurance professional directly to request a complimentary Benefits Assessment & Insurability Forecast™.
Homeowners who are not currently working with a participating broker may contact the SoCal Fire Preparedness Fund and we will help connect them with a participating insurance professional serving their area.
Preparedness begins with information. Resilience begins with action.
The SoCal Fire Home Resiliency Program was created to help homeowners take both steps with confidence.
