Assemblymember Jacqui Irwin and the Contractors State License Board will host a live webinar to support people affected by the Southern California wildfires on Thursday, April 3, from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m.
The webinar is designed to assist individuals navigate the rebuilding process, covering topics like hiring and working with licensed contractors; understanding contracts, change orders and protections; and fraud prevention and how to avoid project delays.
“Fire victims are understandably concerned about being taken advantage of by unethical contractors during the process of rebuilding of their homes and businesses,” Irwin said in a statement. “They have suffered enough already, and nobody wants them to be further victimized during the rebuilding process. The purpose of this seminar is to provide information that will further protect them during the process of engaging with and hiring a contractor.”
The Zoom capacity for the webinar is set to 500—those who receive a message that the room is full are encouraged to join the Facebook Live feed on Irwin’s page. The presentation in its entirety will be available on the assembly website in the days following.
“Rebuild with confidence,” Irwin said in a statement, “don’t miss this important discussion.”
