SACRAMENTO – The wildfires that have ravaged the 27th Senate District and so many other areas of California haven’t just taken lives, destroyed tens of thousands of homes, and burned millions upon millions of acres of land.  They’ve also driven the cost of homeowner’s insurance through the roof or, in some cases, made insurance nearly impossible to get.

SACRAMENTO – This morning, more than two dozen wildfires continue to rage across California in a year when nearly four million acres of land have been charred, 29 people have been killed and over 7,200 structures have been destroyed.

It’s against that backdrop that Senator Henry Stern (D-Los Angeles) announced the Governor has signed three measures that, when they take effect in January, should help people better protect themselves against fire-related and other emergencies.
