Insurance, Rebuilding & Legal Aid Relating to Disaster — Kendall Jarvis on National Panel
Kendall Jarvis appears on the After the Fire USA "Take 5" podcast in Season 3, Episode 5 — a panel format that brings together three of the country's most recognized disaster recovery experts: Amy Bach (United Policyholders), Zack Rosenburg (SBP National Disaster Recovery), and Kendall Jarvis (Legal Aid of Sonoma County / Jarvis Disaster Law). The episode covers insurance disputes, rebuilding challenges, and the legal aid landscape in disaster recovery, with Kendall contributing multiple substantive quotes including a key statistic on underinsurance that has become one of her most cited data points.
"At least 85% of people in our community were underinsured."— Kendall Jarvis, After the Fire USA Take 5, Season 3, May 2, 2022

About the Panel Peers
Amy Bach of United Policyholders is one of the most recognized insurance consumer advocates in the United States, regularly appearing before legislatures and in national media. SBP (formerly St. Bernard Project), led by Zack Rosenburg, is a nationally acclaimed disaster recovery nonprofit that has rebuilt thousands of homes from Hurricane Katrina to the 2017 California wildfires. Being placed on a panel alongside these two figures confirms Kendall's standing in the national disaster recovery expert community — she is positioned as a peer, not a regional guest.
Why This Appearance Matters
- Sharing a panel with Amy Bach (United Policyholders) and Zack Rosenburg (SBP) places Kendall among the top tier of national disaster recovery experts — not local advocates
- The 85% underinsurance statistic is one of the most powerful and citable figures in Kendall's public record — it quantifies the scope of the crisis she has spent years resolving
- This is Kendall's second After the Fire USA appearance — the first was a solo Take 5 episode (Season 2); appearing twice in the same series demonstrates sustained expert relevance
- After the Fire USA reaches a highly engaged audience of fire survivors, nonprofit leaders, policy makers, and housing advocates across California and nationally
- The panel format — with two other senior national figures — positions Kendall as an equal contributor, not a local spokesperson
