Episode notes

Thousands of victims of the Palisades and Eaton fires were uninsured, leaving them completely devasted in the wake of losing everything. Insurance companies have been leaving California in what is being called a mass exodus over the past few years. Just what are their reasons for leaving? I’m your host Tess Abraham, and we’ll be talking all about the environment that California policy has created for insurance companies on this week’s episode of The California Conversation!
