If your home has been destroyed by wildfire and you would like to submit a claim, please visit our Direct Payments for Community Recovery website at www.dp4cr.com. You may also make an appointment at our Local Assistance Center at the Mosquito Appointment Portal.
The Direct Payments for Community Recovery (DP4CR) Program is designed to easily and quickly compensate individuals whose homes, including mobile homes, were destroyed by wildfire. The process is conducted online and can be completed, from start to finish, on your home computer or mobile device. If you experience trouble, PG&E representatives are available to help by phone at 1-877-873-8246.
If you are a residential customer who has gone without power for at least 48 hours because of severe storm conditions, you may qualify for an automatic payment under our Safety Net program. This program provides a payment of $25 - $100, which we pay automatically about 60 days following the storm outage.
PLEASE NOTE: Do not submit a claim form to get a Safety Net payment. Visit Compensation for Extended Outages.
However, you may submit a claim if you believe that PG&E caused a loss for which you should be compensated. You can make this type of claim using various methods, but online is the fastest way for us to process it.

Generally speaking, PG&E is responsible for damages that result from our negligence. We are not responsible for damages that we do not cause or that are the result of forces beyond our control. For example, in most instances, we are not responsible in the following situations:
If we are only partially responsible for a loss, we offer to pay our fair share.
You can help the claims process go smoothly by following these recommendations:
You have the option to submit your claim to your insurance company. The insurer may be able to reimburse you for the losses without an investigation. In some cases, your insurer can pay the replacement value for the damaged items. Your insurer and PG&E can determine responsibility for the damages and agree on the amount due, if any.
We evaluate all claims fairly. If your claim is denied, we explain the reason for the denial. If a specific gas or electric rule applies, we provide you with an explanation or a copy of the rule. If you are not satisfied with our decision and explanation, you can request an appeal of the decision from a Claims Supervisor. You also have the right, at any time in the claims process, to file a court action. If the value of your claim does not exceed $10,000, you can file a small claims action that does not require an attorney.
Submit a claim as soon as possible. Statutes of limitations apply for the filing of legal actions set by California or other applicable law. A statute of limitations is the length of time from the date of the incident in which you can still file a claim. The following info about statutes of limitations is based on our claims experience:
Give yourself enough time for the claim process. If you don’t submit and resolve your claim before the deadline, it will be denied. If you have questions about these limits, please consult an attorney.
