Residents of Altadena and Pasadena who were impacted by the Eaton fire are invited to attend a new workshop to help them create an inventory of their home contents for insurance claim purposes on Saturday, Dec. 6 from 9:00 a.m. to noon, onsite at the Pasadena Senior Center.
At this hands-on workshop, representatives from nonprofit United Policyholders will help you make progress with your home content insurance claim and home inventory. The goal is to help fire survivors reduce stress, save time, and empower them to make informed decisions as they work towards financial recovery.

The ‘Contents Workshop’ will cover the following:
- California Claim Regulations and Laws: how they impact your contents claim
- Strategies: preparing your inventory, pricing, and valuing your items
- Sources of Help: where to go when things get overwhelming
- Next Steps: how to push back, fix mistakes, add items, re-submit, etc.
Attendees are encouraged to bring a laptop. We will work in groups to help you establish inventory pricing and help you value your items.
