wildfires around california have forced tens of thousands of people out of their

it's important to talk about fire insurance. >> michael finney is here with more on that. >> it's hard to watch any of our newscasts these days without wondering do you have enough fire insurance? we thought who better to answer that question than emily rogan, chief officer for united policyholders, a group based in san francisco that advocates for insurance consumers. let's start with the big question. here in the bay area and across the united states are we generally insured? >> no. after every disaster, about two-thirds of people don't have enough insurance to rebuild their home and they're low about six figures, not just what you have saved in the bank. >> this isn't just a little off? >> right. . you say, there's four ways to double-check your policy. how do you do that?

>> the number one way, take out your insurance policy, dust it off and check what your coverage a limit is, that's the big number. divide that by the square footage of your house to get a general sense what the cost per square foot would be to rebuild and call a local contractor, see if it's within the range. also, we like to use the human method. reach out to your insurance agent and make sure that you tell them that you want to be insured for the worst case scenario, one of these big wildfire events and make sure they know it's their responsibility to set those limits for you. the problem is if my house burns down by itself all alone, it's going to be the normal cost to rebuild it. if the whole neighborhood goes out it doubles, right? >> that's right. another piece of advice is buy the most extended replacement cost percentage you can afford. it's usually a buffer you can add, 25%, 50%, sometimes up to

10, so when we're talking about total losses, you have access to additional funds. >> you said talk to your insurance company or agent. are they trustworthy? oversell you or undersell you? >> they generally undersell you to make the sale and radio silence from there. as long as you make sure that you tell them that you want as much as it would take in the worst case scenario to protect your home, usually your biggest asset, homely they'll do the -- hopefully they'll do the right thing. >> when ever there is a fire like this, we always find people who say no one would insure me. >> there's always the last resort, a last safety net for california. there are other options there. make sure you're shopping around. you can reach out to an independent broker who can shop many different insurance

policies. that's one way you can try and find insurance. there is a service through a benefit called yapacopia we're working with to help people match with independent brokers. that's another option for people. >> people evacuated because of the fires, what do they need to do right this minute? >> if they know the status of their home they need to file an insurance claim. if they're so in limbo they don't know if they're in good standing or not. start saving your receipts because all is reimbursable once you file a claim. start a claim diary so if you do talk to your insurance company, write down who you're talking to and what they're promising because it's better not to rely on just your memory during this traumatic time. >> we'll post this online so you can check it out and get this
