 A moratorium is when an insurance company stops issuing or updating policies because of an impending disaster. ⁣An impending disaster can be but not limited to a wildfire, flood or hurricane/tornadoes. Thank goodness we don't have hurricanes or tornadoes in San Clemente, Orange County or anywhere here in CA.
