WILDFIRE MITIGATION MONEY · DOUGLAS COUNTY, OREGON
The wildfire-mitigation money available to Douglas County homeowners — and the fixes it pays for.
Oregon law bars insurers from using the state wildfire map to cancel, non-renew, or raise your premium — and when wildfire risk does drive a non-renewal or increase, it requires them to tell you what information they used and what mitigation would improve your insurability. The same fixes that lower your risk are often paid for — in part or in full — by public programs. Here's what applies in Douglas County.
