Cross-Sector Leaders Mobilize to Scale Climate Resilience in Support of LA’s Rebuilding Efforts

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--On June 24–25, The Resiliency Company will host a convening in Los Angeles to accelerate bold funding strategies that ensure fire-prone regions like LA can rebuild safer, stronger and more resilient. The two-day event, “Rebuilding with Resilience in LA,” follows the catastrophic LA wildfires in January, which devastated over 40,000 acres and caused billions of dollars in damages.

The gathering will bring together policymakers, community leaders, builders, lenders, insurers, and capital providers—all united by a shared mission to make Los Angeles insurable and climate-resilient for the long-term. Attendees will explore how to unlock financing that supports rebuilding to the highest wildfire resilience standards, including the IBHS Wildfire Prepared Home Plus designation, which is among the most rigorous and evidence-based approaches available.

Notable partners include Insurance for Good, Marsh McLennan, Morgan Stanley, Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS), SidePorch, Department of Angels, Momentus Securities, and more, underscoring the broad coalition required to redefine how resilience and insurability can coexist as climate risks escalate.

“Building wildfire-resilient communities requires reimagining nearly every part of how we fund, insure, and rebuild after disaster,” said Abby Ross, CEO at The Resiliency Company. “We know the risks are rising, but we also know there’s a groundswell of desire to do things differently. This convening is about bringing the right people together to turn that momentum into action.”

While the event will preview forthcoming initiatives—including The Resilient LA Delta Fund—its primary focus is to foster alignment, dialogue, and cross-sector commitment to a new climate financing model. Historically, climate resilience efforts have lacked coordination, with fragmented ownership and limited cross-sector collaboration. The Resiliency Company is working to bring together stakeholders across industries in order to make scalable, evidence-based home hardening accessible to those most at risk—addressing a critical gap left by traditional funding and insurance programs.

“Insurance will play a critical role in the resilient large-scale recovery of Los Angeles. As an insurance and risk advisory leader, we’re proud to join The Resiliency Company and other cross-sector partners in advancing climate solutions that put fire-resilience at the forefront of enabling a more sustainable insurance market in wildfire-prone areas,” said Francis Bouchard, Managing Director for Climate at Marsh McLennan.
