Webinar: Beyond the Flames – Appraising in Post-Fire Markets

May 20, 2025 @ 12:30 pm - 3:30 pm

A 3-hour synchronous webinar (via ZOOM)

 

The ZOOM link was sent around 11:45pm (Pacific Time) on Thursday, May 15 (from lisa-norcal-ai.org@shared1.ccsend.com)
to all confirmed registrants who provided their Photo IDs in advance.  Links can only be sent to those who have provided their Photo IDs in advance to lisa@norcal-ai.org.  Registrants will want to check ALL of their email accounts as well as spam/junk folders for this important information; especially the email address listed in your Appraisal Institute “MyAccount” portal.  Those working for government agencies or financial institutions often have firewalls that prohibit proper delivery; assistance from your internal IT Support Team may be needed.

The recent Palisades and Eaton Fires in Southern California were eye openers for everyone. The sheer magnitude of the devastation, similar to what was observed in the Paradise and Sonoma Fires in Northern California several years ago, was shocking.  Our esteemed panel will prepare us for what to expect as the fire season heats up in Northern California. They will provide observations from past events and insights from those who have experience. We will also delve into some of the issues from the perspectives of the lending and insurance communities.

Topics include
Fires and the American West
Case Studies and Observations
Perfect Storm: Disaster Combined with High Costs & High Interest Rates
Insurance: Facts and Truths
Standards of Care for Appraising After a Disaster
