CalChamber Board Member Presents Industry Perspective on Insurance

Katie Evans
Katie Evans, executive vice president and chief legal officer for the CSAA Insurance Group, discusses the California insurance market from an industry perspective on March 7, her first meeting as a member of the CalChamber Board of Directors. Her overview covered the impact of Proposition 103 on insurance availability, the multibillion-dollar impact of the Los Angeles fires and elements of a sustainable insurance strategy. Decreasing wildfire risk, she notes, requires change at the property, community, state and forestry levels. Research has identified top obstacles for home mitigation as including cost, perceived effort, homeowner denial/resignation, confusion and aesthetics. She reports that CSAA sponsored a landscape design challenge with the University of California, Berkeley and the Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety. Student contestants developed eight ready-to-use home designs. Information about the contest and the winning designs is available here.
