Trends and Insights: California’s Risk Crisis , examines this changing risk environment and the impact of Proposition 103 – a three-decades-old measure that has made it hard for insurers to profitably write coverage in the state.

Key Points: 
  • Trends and Insights: California’s Risk Crisis , examines this changing risk environment and the impact of Proposition 103 – a three-decades-old measure that has made it hard for insurers to profitably write coverage in the state.
  • In a dynamically evolving risk environment that includes earthquakes, drought, wildfire, landslides, and, in recent years, flooding due to “atmospheric rivers,” Proposition 103 and its regulatory implementation have prevented insurers from using the most current data and advanced modeling technologies.
  • Public discourse often frames the risk crisis as an “insurance crisis” – conflating cause with effect, Triple-I’s Issues Brief noted.
  • California’s Proposition 103 and the federal National Flood Insurance Program before its Risk Rating 2.0 reforms are just two examples, according to Triple-I.
