Oregon Division of Financial Regulation keeps pause on cancellations in place by extending wildfire emergency order another 30 days
September 29, 2026
The Oregon Division of Financial Regulation (DFR) has extended the wildfire emergency order and bulletin a second time for 30 days to Oct. 29. The order was set to expire Sept. 29. The division initially issued the order in late July for people affected by the state’s wildfire situation and extended it 30 days in late August. The ZIP codes listed in the bulletin remain covered.
As a reminder, this order requires all property and casualty insurance companies to take proactive measures to protect people in wildfire affected areas. The order:
- Suspends cancellations and nonrenewals
- Establishes a grace period for premium payments for all insurance policies issued, delivered, or covering a risk in the affected areas
- Extends deadlines for policyholders to report claims or submit other claims-related communications
- Requires all insurers to take all practicable steps to provide opportunities for policyholders to report claims
If your home or property was damaged by the wildfires, contact your insurance company as soon as possible to discuss your situation and learn next steps. If you still have concerns, the division’s consumer advocates are here to help. Call 888-877-4894 (toll-free) or email dfr.insurancehelp@dcbs.oregon.gov.
