After a Disaster

Recover and Rebuild After a Storm

Floridians know all too well that our state’s geographic location increases our propensity for catastrophic weather. Unfortunately, hurricanes, like Irma and Michael, mean more than strong winds and rain. Hurricanes also cause Florida’s property insurance marketplace to be far more complex than other states. For years, the Florida Chamber has advocated to better protect Floridians from the financial risk associated with our government-run property insurance entities. We have long-supported protecting families and businesses against “hurricane taxes” and making necessary changes to the Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund (Cat Fund). We will continue our efforts to reform Florida’s current property insurance market.
