By Michael P. Neufeld

Lake Arrowhead, CA – Rebuilding Mountain Hearts & Lives presented two identical workshops yesterday (September 13) for local residents on how to be prepared for a disaster including proper insurance coverage.
Participants at the free sessions will learn the ins and outs of the insurance business from insurance expert Amy Bach from United Policyholders. San Bernardino County Assistant Fire Chief Peter Brierty will also update attendees about the proposed county fire ordinances.

The first two-hour workshop will begin at 9 a.m. at the Latter Day Saints (LDS) Church on Highway 173 at Golden Rule Road in Lake Arrowhead. The second will start at 1 p.m. at Calvary Chapel in Running Springs at 31575 Hilltop Boulevard.
The two seminars will also provide data about evacuation preparedness from Rim Family Services' Wildfire Outreach Program and other key speakers.
Bach, who is Executive Director of United Policyholders based in San Francisco, has been a policyholder advocate since 1984 and an attorney since 1989. She has received awards from the Independent Insurance Agents and Brokers of California and the Consumer Attorneys of California. She lectures and teaches seminars and has authored and contributed numerous consumer-oriented publications on insurance matters.

In his position as San Bernardino County Fire Marshal, Brierty participated in the development of the Mountain Area Safety Taskforce (MAST) that is the structure for managing the local tree mortality emergency. He also worked with a team of fire experts to design what is now the County Fire Safety Overlay, which has the strictest building standards for residential construction in high fire hazard zones.
