California Earthquake Authority Secures $25M Seed Round to Revolutionize Earthquake Preparedness Across the State

We are excited to announce that the California Earthquake Authority (CEA) has raised $25,000,000 to bolster our mission of empowering Californians to reduce earthquake damage and loss. As a not-for-profit organization, we are dedicated to supporting homeowners, mobilehome owners, condo unit owners, and renters across California, ensuring that every community is better prepared for seismic events. This significant funding milestone will enable us to enhance our cutting‐edge programs and expand our outreach efforts to educate more residents about earthquake safety, risk mitigation, and emergency preparedness. The funds will primarily be allocated to advancing state-of-the-art seismic retrofitting initiatives, innovative insurance products, and comprehensive risk assessment services designed to minimize the impact of future earthquakes. Our team, a dynamic collection of experts in insurance, seismic retrofitting, and information technology—complemented by financial, legal, and marketing and communications professionals—will play a pivotal role in directing these new resources. We take pride in the diversity and strength of our workforce, which includes civil service employees, contract workers, and top-tier talent sourced through private employment agencies. Our award-winning team members, recognized by prominent organizations like the American Red Cross and the Insurance Marketing and Communications Association, continue to make impactful contributions on significant boards such as the American Academy of Actuaries and the Structural Engineers Association of California. This infusion of capital not only solidifies our position as a leader in earthquake preparedness but also reinforces our promise to help Californians face future challenges with robust support and innovative solutions. We invite you to join our journey and celebrate this milestone as we take further steps towards creating safer communities across our state.
