How Gerald Ross Agency Helps Oregon Homeowners
Oregon Fire Hazard Severity Zones
Oregon classifies properties into fire hazard severity zones — Moderate, High, and Very High. Properties in High and Very High zones face the greatest difficulty obtaining standard homeowners insurance. Gerald Ross Agency can help you find coverage regardless of your fire zone classification.
Standard Market vs. Specialty Coverage
Many standard carriers have exited the high-risk wildfire market in Oregon. Gerald Ross Agency works with specialty carriers that continue to cover fire zone properties — often with broader coverage than the Oregon FAIR Plan.
Fire Mitigation Can Help
Implementing fire mitigation measures — such as creating defensible space, using fire-resistant materials, and installing ember-resistant vents — can help you qualify for standard or specialty market coverage and reduce your premium. Gerald Ross Agency can advise you on effective mitigation steps.
Oregon FAIR Plan as Last Resort
If no standard or specialty market options are available, the Oregon FAIR Plan provides basic fire coverage as insurance of last resort. Most FAIR Plan policyholders also need a DIC policy to cover liability and other perils not included in the FAIR Plan.
