Good article illustrating why #hurricanes aren’t just a coastal problem in Texas. Example: Beryl, which struck Texas in July 2024, spawned more than 60 tornadoes from Texas to New York. #insurance statesman.com/weather/articl…

The hurricane season has been quiet so far for Texas – but now’s not the time to let your guard down! Since the early 1850s, Texas has logged 50 tropical storms and hurricanes in September. Prepare, or stay prepared. #hurricane #insurance houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-w…

#OnThisDay: 2017 Harvey grew from a tropical depression to a Category 4 hurricane in two days. The slow-moving storm dumped 60 inches of rain in some areas, causing devastating flooding across southeast Texas. #txwx bit.ly/flood-policy

We can’t change the #weather, but we can change how we prepare for it. TCAIS has long supported risk mitigation steps that save lives, prevent loss and damage, decrease #insurance claims and lower insurance premiums for consumers. #DisasterPreparedness insurancejournal.com/news/national/…

#Flood damage is not typically covered by standard homeowner #insurance – it requires specific flood #insurance. 99% of U.S. counties have had a flood event in the past 20 years - now might be a good time to explore whether you need flood insurance. bit.ly/46J6nAC

Increased climate costs from #insurance premiums, power outages, disaster recovery and uninsured damage are responsible for $7.7 trillion since 2000. Risks are increased severe & extreme weather plus development insufficiently focused on resilience. claimsjournal.com/news/national/…

TCAIS warns: A #txlege bill #SB1643 returning Texas to a prior approval #insurance system may drive some companies out of the market, giving buyers fewer options and increasing the cost for those remaining. More on @NBCDFW: nbcdfw.com/news/politics/…

Legislators can’t do much to control the primary insurance cost drivers – severe weather and inflation. #txlege should avoid passing regulations that could harm the market and limit Texans’ access to available and affordable #insurance. texastribune.org/2025/05/09/tex…

The two biggest homeowners #insurance premium and claims cost drivers are the frequency and severity of severe weather and global inflation, neither of which can be addressed by state legislation. #txlege @HoustonChron @cltomlinson houstonchronicle.com/business/colum…

#txlege: Returning to the disastrous prior approval insurance mkt of 2 decades ago will delay insurers – operating for years near breakeven – from setting rates needed to insure risks, pay claims & remain solvent. Don’t “California” our #insurance system. tcais.org/file-and-use
