The small print on that wildfire map caught me off guard

I was checking the evacuation zones near my sister's place in Bend last week after those reports blew up, and I found a stat buried in the county's data that shocked me. It said 1 in 4 homes in the high risk area had no fire insurance because policies got dropped or priced out over the last 3 years. I had to read it twice because the news stories only talked about the fire itself, not the coverage gap waiting after. How are folks supposed to rebuild when the headline is about flames but the real story is who gets left with nothing? Has anyone else dug past the alerts and found numbers like that?
