A wildfire-insurance readiness desk for California homeowners
Home Ready California combines a fire-zone check, insurance checklist and defensible-space calculator with an option to get matched to a local wildfire-preparation pro.
- For
- California homeowners preparing for wildfire insurance
- Worth noticing
- The site says it does not keep the address and shares details with a matched pro only after the homeowner agrees.
Field notes
The address check uses CAL FIRE's public maps; the page says it does not retain the address. The questionnaire asks what work is needed, where the home is and how soon, then selects one local provider; the operator says it checks licenses where required, reviews and wildfire-work experience, while explicitly disclaiming a guarantee. Devan Hemmings says he has spent more than 20 years building, repairing and mapping homes and land in Northern California.
