Most recent calculations by RMS Monday are $7.5 to 10 Billion regarding the Camp Fire, $1.5 to $3 billion for the Woosley Fire. These calculations include property and auto damage from burn and smoke damage and business interruption, additional living expenses and personal property and business personal property losses.
The Camp Fire has been determined the most destructive wildfire the California history. It has burned 151,000 acres and is 66% contained, burning 11,713 homes, 472 commercial buildings and the worst part is a reported 77 deaths.
The Woosley Fire burned 96,949 acres and is 94% contained, burned 1,500 structures as determined by CalFire.
As this unfolds its more obvious than normal that Wildfire is a large catastrophe risk that needs a substantial amount of attention when determining actuarial data. S&P Global ratings said they are confident primary insurers and reinsurers are able to absorb the financial losses for California fires. However, with large fires and corelating losses and the regulatory backdrop limiting the ability of insurance companies to increase premiums S&P said there may be “soul searching” when determining the amount of premium to write in California.
Insurance companies AIF, Chubb, and Farmers have the biggest exposures to the wildfires, as determined by S&P. S&P stated AIG and Chubb will most likely take on the largest loss ratio in Southern California fires determined by high-value properties in the region.

A family heirloom.  A necklace and earings from a special occasion.  Your wedding ring.

For the same reasons you love a piece of fine jewelry, you should consider insuring it as well.

In some cases, you can add your jewelry coverage directly to your homeowner’s policy and in other cases, it makes more sense to provide coverage through a PAF(Personal Articles Floater).  This depends on the company and their policy limitations as well as the client’s desire to seek out coverage for mysterious disappearance.

Here is a checklist you can use to evaluate your jewelry coverage needs.

• What does your current Homeowners insurance policy provide coverage for automatically? Are their additional endorsements available that fit my needs and what it the cost?
• Add up the value of your collection so you can determine if the automatic coverage on your Homeowners policy is sufficient.
• Decide which items you would likely want to purchase additional coverage.
• Catalog your jewelry in an inventory. Insurance companies require appraisals for higher valued pieces.  In addition, a video or picture inventory that’s kept on a cloud-based service is safe and advisable.

Toys make great hobbies and create awesome memories in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. Protect your fun from that one bad moment where a thief takes advantage of an opportunity, the toy is wrecked or worst someone gets hurt and your responsible just because you own it.
