Disaster Relief

Relief will continue until the property is fully repaired, restored or reconstructed.

Both personal and real property are eligible for relief. This includes land, improvements such as structures fixtures or planted fruit, nut, or ornamental trees/vines.

• Poor Craftsmanship that leads to damage, such as to a single family residence, pool, spa, concrete and septic system, is not considered an “event out of the ordinary”. Sub-par construction does not qualify as a misfortune or calamity.
• Wear and tear, deferred maintenance, damaged inflicted over time by a tenant.

A major misfortune or calamity might include a Governor’s proclamation for events like an earthquake, flood, mud slide or wildfire. A smaller scale misfortune or calamity could be a single house fire.

According to case law, a misfortune or calamity is defined as an unforeseen event or, at the very least, an occurrence that is out of the ordinary.
