Sand Fire Evacuees May Have ALE Coverage

The Sand Fire has destroyed eighteen homes, but for those who were evacuated, homeowners insurance coverage may still help. Many of the 20,000 evacuees don’t realize that their renters insurance and home policies cover those expenses. The fire burned its way into the Santa Clarita region and left massive physical and financial damage behind. Still, for those who were evacuated and faced the costs of having to live elsewhere, some relief may be on the way. Most renters and homeowners insurance coverage does include a basic provision called additional living expense (ALE). Still, the majority of those who have it don’t even know it’s there.
