Carson City, NV June 13, 2024
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.
The meeting will also be streamed online via the WebEx platform. WebEx meeting details can be found on the division's website www.doi.nv.gov.
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.”
