"Take note of your Additional Living Expense (ALE) limits and manage your ALE expenses in recognition of a long rebuilding process. Your time to collect ALE after a declared catastrophe is no less than 24 months even if your policy says otherwise; however your amount of coverage is not increased. An extension of up to 12 additional months, for a total of 36 months, should be granted if you encounter delays beyond your reasonable control." #EatonCanyonFire #AltadenaStrong #LAStrong #LOU #ALE #insurance https://www.insurance.ca.gov/01-consumers/140-catastrophes/TopTenTips_WildfireClaimants.cfm

"How Much Does it Cost to Rebuild a Home After a Fire? The cost to rebuild a home after a fire in California can vary significantly depending on factors such as the extent of the damage, the size of the home, and location. On average, homeowners can expect to pay between $400 to $600 per square foot for reconstruction, which includes materials, labor, permits, and other associated costs. For a 2,000-square-foot home in HCOL areas of California, this could range from $800,000 to $1,200,000. Additional expenses may arise from debris removal, upgrading to meet current building codes, and repairing or replacing landscaping. Homeowners should also consider insurance coverage and any gaps between their policy limits and actual rebuilding costs." #EatonCanyonFire #AltadenaStrong #LAStrong #FireResilience #PassiveHouse #LowerCostOfOwnership #BuildBackAltadenaBetter https://www.simplybuildable.com/knowledge-center/rebuild-after-fire

Today, during a fire resilience conference, I had the opportunity to hear an interview with Tonje Wold-Switzer. She and her family rebuilt their home after it was destroyed in the CZU Lightning Complex fire in the Santa Cruz Mountains #EatonCanyonFire #AltadenaStrong #LAStrong #FireResilience #PassiveHouse #LowerCostOfOwnership #BuildBackAltadenaBetter I highly recommend taking 11 minutes to watch the video, where Tonje and her husband, Sebastian Little, discuss their experience and the key factors that influenced their rebuilding decisions.

A friend shared this link to a site, rebuildingbetter.org], designed as a "toolkit for households navigating the rebuilding process after the 2021 Marshall Fire." For homeowners looking to rebuild, I found this homeowners toolkit (https://rebuildingbetter.org/resources-for-homeowners/) to be a helpful resource. While some areas could be more in-depth, it does a great job of establishing a solid framework for the rebuilding process #EatonCanyonFire #AltadenaStrong #LAStrong #FireResilience #PassiveHouse #LowerCostOfOwnership #BuildBackAltadenaBetter

10 Steps to Hardening Your Home Against Wildfire https://youtu.be/626NQeQGH7s?si=w67OjSpld4vtuCGs Embers pose the greatest threat, with 90% of house fires caused by contact with airborne embers. To protect your home, eliminate pathways where embers can gather or enter, reducing the risk of a fire starting. 1. Strengthen the area within 5 feet of your home by keeping combustible plants and furniture at least 5 feet away. This also applies to decks and fences. 2. Fortify your Intermediate perimeter (5 - 30'): Landscaping should be designed to create fire breaks and manage fire behavior. Use driveways, pathways, patios, and decks to form fuel breaks, and remove ladder fuels, such as vegetation beneath trees. 3. Strengthen your extended perimeter (30–100 feet) with the goal of interrupting the fire's spread by clearing debris and vegetation that could fuel the flames. 4. Vents: Replace standard vents with metal honeycomb vents coated in heat-reactive paint to prevent embers from entering your home.

Toxins in Your Home: 5 Major Culprits - Flooring: Hardwood floors are ideal, as carpet and vinyl floors can release more toxins into your environment. - Walls: Look for insulation that is naturally fire-resistant, without the need for added fire-resistant chemicals. Latex paints are better. - Kitchen Cabinets: Solid wood is always the best choice, as fiberboards like HDF and MDF rely on glues to bind their components together. - Furniture: Everything in your home, from your sheets to your leather couch, could be releasing gases into the air. - Window Treatments: Curtains may contain fire retardants that release toxins into your home. Indoor air purifiers or HEPA filters in your HVAC system can assist in removing toxins from your home’s air. https://youtu.be/SjWwvA4u9c4?si=tlCveDNyXgIt2bvS #EatonCanyonFire #AltadenaStrong #LAStrong #FireResilience #PassiveHouse #LowerCostOfOwnership #BuildBackAltadenaBetter
