As a number of active wildfires continue to threaten southern California, our teams are closely monitoring conditions and coordinating with partners to ensure we are ready to support clients and policyholders as needs arise.

Safety remains our top priority. Local authorities strongly encourage the public to avoid the area, follow all evacuation orders and stay informed through official local updates as the situation evolves.

We remain committed to supporting affected communities and will continue to provide updates here and on our website. https://ow.ly/Gpuz50Z2pSQ
