The safety and insurance challenges faced by New Mexicans due to escalating wildfires and catastrophes have put our state at a tipping point where public policymakers and government agencies must collaborate on statewide and community solutions to further protect our citizens and properties.

With that common goal, the Office of Insurance Superintendent (OSI) is hosting exclusive presentations for state legislators, and leaders from other state entities by the Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety (IBHS) https://ibhs.org/risk-research/wildfire/. We will be offering a webinar on May 22, 2024 at 10:00am, as well as an in-person presentation by IBHS on June 26, 2024, in Santa Fe at Apodaca Hall located in the PERA building. IBHS is leading scientific property mitigation research that provides real-world solutions for home and business owners, helping to create more resilient communities and ultimately making them more insurable. The presentation will cover the science behind fire, ember travel among vulnerable areas, and how to effectively make affordable changes, by providing information on home-hardening.
