Insurance crisis. Our kron fours gayle ong reports from a north bay neighborhood. It was nearly burned to the ground in a wildfire. Fema grants for homeowners in designated areas and a tax credit for property owners. Thats a 30 tax credit and a 10,000 grant. The 2 key components that make up. Congressman Mike Thompson disaster resiliency and coverage act co sponsored by representative jared huffman. When you put it all together, this is an important piece. Of making sure that insurance remains available. And also affordable to the folks that we committed almost 7 years ago. To continuing to stand with him to serve. The proposed bill is aimed to help with the property insurance crisis. It is modeled after a program in alabama after homes are impacted by severe weather. It was the same want same story from every Insurance Company and it was. Make sure that theres disaster resilience in a building that homeowners did everything necessary to protect their home from any type of disaster. Same thing with landowners, the backdrop of Thursdays Press Conference took place in santa rosas coffey park neighborhood. Area that was virtually wiped out by the 2017 north bay fires. Among the speakers, Sonoma County elected officials and also wildfire survivors. This bill will support efforts like Defensible Space clearing enhanced Emergency Water access, fire, oppression systems, technology, and Automated Systems that assist First Responders and much more education is on the rise. But we have to acknowledge that the financial increases in the cost of insurance is leaving many without funds to do the work to protect their homes, families and communities. When asked about how much this bill will cost taxpayers loss of insurance to homeowners is going to be devastating. But self. You add to that a disaster too. And the price tag is over the top. So i would argue the cost of this is going pale in comparison to what the cost of not doing. Its going to and the bill still needs to be passed by congress. The cosponsors of this bill say they hope it happens as soon as possible. Reporting from santa rosa, gayle ong kron. 4 news developing tonight.
