Oregon Insurance Commissioner Andrew Stolfi and Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum will host a statewide wildfire insurance town hall on Thursday.

A release from the Oregon Department of Consumer and Business Services said cleanup is progressing, and the arrival of spring means construction will soon be ramping up for people affected by last year’s Labor Day wildfires.

Stolfi and Rosenblum will be joined by Oregon State University Fire Program Manager Carrie Berger and representatives from the Division of Financial Regulation to discuss insurance claims during the rebuilding process, how to avoid construction scams, and tips to prepare for the 2021 wildfire season.

The event will run from 12:00 p.m. to 12:45 p.m. Watch the meeting by going to: https://zoom.us/j/98469121451#success
