Upcoming Meeting
Schedule:
One Year
Deadline Clarified There are 3 deadlines to file a lawsuit regarding
a claim against your insurer:
None of the deadlines are contingent on any other
activity, criminal or civil. To avoid any unexpected complications, expense or
dismissal, it is always safest and best to rely on the shortest deadline.
One year from the exact day of the loss is the latest to timely file a
lawsuit without incurring arguments from the insurance defense attorneys
that the case be dismissed for an untimely
filing. In summary, the one year anniversary of the fires
is approaching. Alleged criminal activity by a third party will not
extend any of these deadlines. ______________________________________________________________________________________________ Man

homeowners policy really have you
covered? If you
think your homeowners insurance has you covered, think
again. Insurers
are cutting back coverage, but at the same time raising deductibles and
premiums, according to Consumer Reports, who says many companies are even
checking your credit record to decide what they'll charge
you. http://www.cbs8.com/Global/story.asp?S=11195576&Call=Email&Format=HTML ______________________________________________________________________________________________ Postfire
Debris-Flow Hazards for the 2009 Station Fire, San Gabriel Mountains,
This
report presents an emergency assessment of potential debris-flow hazards
from basins burned by the 2009 Station fire in Los Angeles County,
southern California. Statistical-empirical models developed for postfire
debris flows are used to estimate the probability and volume of
debris-flow production from 678 drainage basins within the burned area and
to generate maps of areas that may be inundated along the San Gabriel
mountain front by the estimated volume of material. Debris-flow
probabilities and volumes are estimated as combined functions of different
measures of basin burned extent, gradient, and material properties in
response to both a 3-hour-duration, 1-year-recurrence thunderstorm and to
a 12-hour-duration, 2-year recurrence storm. Debris-flow inundation areas
are mapped for scenarios where all sediment-retention basins are empty and
where the basins are all completely full. This assessment provides
critical information for issuing warnings, locating and designing
mitigation measures, and planning evacuation timing and routes within the
first two winters following the
fire. http://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2009/1227/ ______________________________________________________________________________________________ Fire
officials promise reforms in wake of Times investigation of Station fire
response A Times
investigation has found that fire officials battling the Station fire
reduced resources on the second day of what would become the largest brush
fire in L.A. County history. ______________________________________________________________________________________________ "You can't wring your hands and roll up your
