2026-08-16 Homeowner's Insurance & Wildfire Risk Seminar with uphelp.org

Worried about your homeowner’s insurance?

Concerned about rate increases or your policy getting canceled due to fire risk?

El Cerrito FireSafe Council is sponsoring a free 1-hour community meeting featuring United Policyholders — with information, ideas, and suggestions. What you’ll walk away with:

  • Why rates are rising and policies are being non-renewed across fire-prone areas — and what’s driving insurers’ decisions
  • Steps you can take to reduce your risk score and improve your chances of keeping coverage
  • What to do if you receive a non-renewal or cancellation notice
  • Where to find California’s FAIR Plan and other last-resort coverage options
  • Questions to ask your agent, and how to advocate for yourself with your insurer

United Policyholders (UP) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) whose mission is to be a trustworthy and useful information resource and a respected voice for consumers of all types of insurance across the United States.

Bring your family and invite your neighbors.

Date & time: Sunday August 16, 2026, 4:00 PM -5:00 PM
Location: Veteran’s Hall, 6401 Stockton Ave., El Cerrito, CA 94530
