Following emergency declarations issued in late August 2023 in response to the Smith River Complex and Happy Camp Complex fires, California is instituting a one-year moratorium on non-renewals or cancellations for properties in Del Norte and Siskiyou counties, the California Department of Insurance (CDI) reported.

This moratorium will affect more than 15,000 policyholders living within the perimeters or adjoining ZIP codes of the Smith River and Happy Camp fires, according to CDI. More details on the exact properties impacted by this order are available on the CDI website.
