  1. Mitigation Program

  2. Mitigation Program Overview • Required by Statute • History • Program Description • Related Research Sponsored by the CEA • Cost Benefits • Rate Distribution

  3. Mitigation Program Required by Statute • California Insurance Code (CIC 10089.37) • CEA Required to Set Aside 5% of Annual Investments Income for Mitigation • Must be Available to the Public

  4. Mitigation Program History • 1st Pilot Program – 1998 • 2 Counties • One Stop Shopping • A Dismal Failure • What we Learned

  5. Mitigation Program SAFER Program (State Assistance for Earthquake Retrofitting) • Free seismic inspections with digital survey • Latest technology and science; CUREE, state-of-the-art database, laser measuring, web based contractor training and bidding • Trained licensed contractors • Low-interest loans backed by Fannie Mae

  6. Mitigation Program Inspections Include • Foundations and Cracks • Cripple Walls • Water Heaters • Chimneys • Soil and Drainage

  7. : Mitigation Program SAFER Results: What we found • 7,100 inspections completed • 87% improperly strapped water heaters • 47% unbraced cripple walls • 41% inadequate or no foundation bolting

  8. Mitigation Program SAFER Results: Independent Survey • 90% reported satisfaction • 77% “very satisfied” • 47% acted on one or more recommendations • 49% completed all recommendations • 3 in 4 homeowners who had not acted planned to do so in the near future

  9. Mitigation Program What we Learned • People are interested in the seismic stability of their homes • People will not take the initiative on their own • Preliminary assessment can streamline program • 25% of homes only needed water heater retrofit

  10. Mitigation Program Cost Analysis • Program Ran 21 Months • 7,100 Assessment • 3,345 Complete or Partial Retrofits • 1,639 Complete Retrofits • Total Cost - $5.9 Million • $3,600 – Average Cost Per Retrofit

  11. Mitigation Program Partnerships Continued emphasis on resultsdriven, science-based programs with broad consumer appeal CEA sponsored shake table test of full-scale wood-frame home

  12. Mitigation Program Additional Research Cal Tech • Premium Incentives Research • Computer Simulation • Determine the Appropriate Mitigation Discount Future Research • Slab Versus Raised Foundations

  13. Mitigation Program Rate Distribution • Contiguous Rating Territories Versus Non-Contiguous Rating Bands • Help to Reduce Adverse Selection
