OLYMPIA, Wash. — The Wildfire Mitigation and Resiliency Standards Work Group, co-chaired by Washington state Insurance Commissioner Patty Kuderer and Commissioner of Public Lands Dave Upthegrove, delivered its final report and recommendations to the Legislature [ [link removed] ] on Monday.

The report recommends establishing a voluntary grant program to help residential properties resist wildfire loss. Work group members also agreed upon the need to enhance mitigation at the community level, improve data sharing between state agencies and the insurance industry, and improve risk transparency for consumers.

“Wildfires pose an immense danger to some of our rural residents and a significant risk to insurance companies doing business in Washington,” Kuderer said. “This report offers several excellent recommendations to address both of those aspects, and I hope the Legislature acts on them.”
