California's Insurance Commissioner, Ricardo Lara, emphasized the importance of prioritizing efforts to make homes and communities safer from future wildfires. Lara proposed the implementation of home-hardening grants to provide consumers with financial assistance in fortifying their homes against wildfire risks.
Lara stated, 'Looking forward, I'm going to ask the governor and the state legislature to support my proposal to provide consumers with home-hardening grants. We need to put money in people's hands to protect homes and enhance long-term resilience against wildfire risk.'
