Get ready for the inspection

The programs that credit wildfire hardening, mapped to the directory records that satisfy them — each quoted in its own words, from its own documents. Insurers do not all use the same checklist: California requires wildfire-rating insurers to credit Safer from Wildfires measures (10 CCR 2644.9); IBHS Wildfire Prepared is a separate designation any home can pursue.

IBHS Wildfire PreparedVoluntary · anywhere

A parcel designation with a technical standard — Class A roof, ember-resistant vents, Zone 0, deck and fence rules.

Ten credited measures, each mapped to the categories, standards, and guides that answer it.

The last-resort association and how Oregon premiums actually move — a different market from California's.

IBHS Wildfire Prepared Essential (field document)

Class A roof as a tested assembly, vents or 1/8 inch mesh, 0–5 foot noncombustible Zone 0, gutters, maintenance. Enhanced adds flame and radiant-heat measures. Some Bend agencies hand homeowners this checklist and may add extras such as spark arrestors. That extra is carrier practice, not a FireApproved rule.

Oregon residual market and premiums

Oregon’s last-resort association is a different market from California FAIR Plan. See Oregon has a FAIR Plan. This site does not quote a FAIR Plan discount percent. A wildfire-related Oregon premium can move without a nearby fire. See premiums with no nearby fire.
