[@Bully1973]

The world will pay higher insurance premiums. I'm on the other side of the planet, and insurers are already messaging higher premiums due to the wild fires.

[@flinch622]

I see you found hunters crack pipe. Sacramento is in the red, and anyway... they have nothing to give except they took it from the citizens they damaged in the first place. So, up next? ALL insurers leave the state. The remainders even now are operating on edge or as charities - surviving probably because of business revenues from other states or credit arrangements. The state government is killing them. Some were very smart: they examined actual brush conditions - two years of good rain/heavy growth, followed by firefighting budget cuts AND no mitigation plans [like brush clearing from transmission lines... and cancelled or non-renewed contracts for a number of big risk policies. And in those odd cases I wonder if they had a bead on the ongoing planned degradation of firefighting capacity - they unloaded high risk clients. You see, when reinsurance ends or claims blow past their caps, its game over. And without reinsurance, companies in CA would have to instantly reach for something close to a rate double except... Sacramento controls rates. These companies have to go lobby to change rates, and how long does that take: a year? Now add a two year permitting process [three along pch as the Coastal Commission stick its * in things]. The reality emerging? Owners are not getting contractors in motion without money to entertain a bid, there's no house to borrow against and... almost zero happens the next three years. There's a handful that can pay out of pocket now to start the timer ticking now, but most can't. The state turned your insurance company into their pet poodle, and its not a real business anymore. All thats left is a trademarked letterhead/ marquee, and a corporate tax id number.

[@benmcreynolds8581]

I feel for anyone who lost their home. Homes are so expensive, Yet our country has NO SYSTEM if people lose their homes. 2 things can be true at once, 1-It was an extreme weather event. 2-The city UTTERLY FAILED to prepare their systems. Fire is the #1 threat there so It makes no sense how Los Angeles didn't utilize their resources in a better way to prepare them to fight fires.. The city has to prepare for stuff like this. I Hope we will see them build extensive water pumping systems from the ocean. They could Install water spraying systems onto the individual houses. They could install remote controlled valves so they could control the water pressure. They need to build systems that redirect & collect any rain water that they receive, rather than dumping it back out into the ocean. We need to adapt our systems so they work cohesively with our ecosystem. We should build Desalination plants & We definitely should bring the Beaver's back. Honestly, how are people supposed to recover from a Disaster such as this? We are seeing insurance companies fail us, we are seeing our government fail us. Most people are struggling to afford basic living. Our country is completely unable to handle this kind of stuff. Our country is failing these people. How does our country expect people to rebuild a second house when affording the first house was already a life long achievement.. How can our country keep functioning like this? Our country is in complete denial about the impacts of these disasters. How will our systems continue to function? We have to adapt. We have to.

Could the sea water save our residence premises??? Not really based on Malibu experience And among comparing the thorough metropolitan plan between Sydney city vs Melbourne city, I DON'T KNOW WHO WAS THE PLANNER, BUT MELBOURNE GOT FULLY BACKUP PLAN taking emergency accounts about the massive wildfire occurrance with some man- made big water at Albert Park area in Metro area vs Sydney. For this point, Melbourne infrastructure is far better than Sydney where high cost/ living standard, but the low quality of protection the local resident in the fire case.
