About

Learn from experts about how wildfires are reshaping insurance access in Oregon and opportunities for stronger consumer protections. Save the date! You're invited to a free community event about the impact of wildfire risk on insurance access in Oregon, and our rights as consumers in the face of climate disasters. How are wildfires affecting insurance affordability? What do insurance profits tell us about the industry's ability to pay out claims? How can we improve consumer readiness and access to justice before and after communities experience wildfires? Learn from consumer protection researchers, policymakers, and consumer law practitioners to better understand the ripple effects of wildfires in Oregon and how we might rethink current insurance models in light of a changing risk landscape. Following the program, join us during the Community Hour from 3:00 to 4:00 PM for refreshments, networking, and Q&A with the speakers.
