    They just need to not allow any insurance cancelations on policies paid up and only rebuild not fire resistant homes, cement, metal roofs are a most, metal shutters on all windows.

      The reason why a lot of California homes are built with lumber is that more fire resistant materials like bricks and cement collapse during earthquakes.

      And cap insurance profits & executive compensation instead of premiums. A cap on premiums makes insurance non-viable even for a non-profit if the risk is too high, while a cap in profits lets it be valued appropriately. The cap on executive compensation is needed because without that they’d raise premiums excessively & pay themselves the extra instead of accumulating that as company profit for their stock price.
