We are heartbroken by what the Thomas Fire and Montecito Mudslide have done to our beautiful city and mountain vistas. If you own a home or business–even if you were not impacted by this fire or slide–this is a wake up call to make sure that your insurance policies are up-to-date and that you know where to find the resources you need. We will be updating this list as we learn of new resources available to local homeowners.
