The Nevada Division of Insurance has announced a Town Hall meeting in Incline Village, Nevada, to address the effects of wildfires on homeowners and condominium insurance. The event is scheduled for 10:00 am on Friday, June 28 at the Donald W. Reynolds Community Center.
Over the last decade, wildfire activity across the Western United States has resulted in increased homeowner insurance rates and difficulties for insurance companies issuing 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."
The Nevada Division of Insurance aims to protect consumer rights in their interactions with the insurance industry while ensuring insurers' financial solvency. Further information about the Division can be found at DOI.NV.GOV or through their social media channels.
