The California Earthquake Authority (CEA) is a not-for-profit public instrumentality of the State of California. CEA has two main operations. First, CEA is authorized by law to issue residential earthquake insurance. We educate Californians about earthquake risk, provide mitigation opportunities and resources for existing residences, and make available fairly-priced insurance policies that provide for repairs, rebuilding, and recovery after earthquake-caused loss. Second, CEA is the Administrator of the California Wildfire Fund (CWF), a catastrophe fund created by the Legislature in 2019 to provide a source of funding for survivors of wildfires caused by large electrical utility companies. While privately financed, CEA's earthquake insurance business is publicly managed by a Governing Board consisting of the Governor, Treasurer, and Insurance Commissioner, and two ex officio members appointed by leaders in the Legislature, and its CWF Administrator duties are overseen by the California Catastrophe Response Council (CCRC), a nine-member oversight body created in 2019 when the CWF was created. CEA operates outside the state budget and thus is not subject to many governmental reporting and regulatory requirements, but may employ civil servants.
