"There has been some question about whether California's insurer of last resort – the FAIR Plan – has enough cash on hand to pay for its share of wildfire claims.

In March 2024, Fair Access to Insurance Requirements (FAIR) Plan had $336 billion of property exposure with capital of just $200 million, and $700 million of cash on hand, according to Victoria Roach, who testified before the California Assembly Insurance Oversight Committee on March 13. (Editor's note: Current figures cannot yet be confirmed).
According to FAIR Plan statistics, it has $5.9 billion of exposure to the Pacific Palisades (where the fires are raging) — its fifth highest wildfire exposure concentration."
