Wildfires and Insurance
Oregon Insurance Commissioner Andrew Stolfi held a statewide virtual Wildfire and Insurance Town Hall this afternoon to answer questions about wildfire insurance and the claims process. I hope they will post a video of the Town Hall on the division’s video webpage and will update this post when I get that link.
In the meantime, the division’s wildfire insurance page has lots of resources and contact information to help answer many of your wildfire insurance questions. Statement below.

Salem — Oregon Insurance Commissioner Andrew Stolfi will host the statewide virtual Wildfire Insurance Town Hall on Thursday, Oct. 1, at noon.
He will be joined by representatives from the Oregon Division of Financial Regulation to answer common questions about wildfire insurance, the claims process, and how the division can help Oregonians.
Everyone affected by the wildfires are encouraged to tune in to the live stream on the division’s video webpage . You can also listen to the town hall by calling 888-808-6929 (toll-free), access code 1369311.
“Our goal for the wildfire town hall is to provide Oregonians with important information they can use right now to take some initial steps toward recovery,” said Stolfi, who is also the director of the Department of Consumer and Business Services. “Recovery will take time, but we are here to help Oregonians through every phase of their insurance claim.”
Oregonians can submit questions before the town hall. The commissioner and division representatives will answer as many questions as possible during the event.
The town hall will be recorded and captioned in both English and Spanish for people who have difficulty hearing, as well as many of those who are not native English speakers. That recording will be made available as soon as the captioning is complete.
The division’s wildfire insurance page has resources and contact information to help answer many wildfire insurance questions. The division is also prepared to help people in any language they choose. Visit dfr.oregon.gov/help for more information.
