Build stronger. Retrofit buildings and require new construction to be more robust. Insurance companies package product and blending high risk with lower risk is needed. Looks at Baldwin and Mobile Counties with the FORTFIED program - it's stabilized their entire insurance market with stronger requirements for retrofits and new construction.

Also make sure the appraisal of the buildings reflect the insurability. Some homes are not worth what they used to be and the appraisal/mortgage underwriting/property tax assessments need to reflect this.

Most people don’t understand what home owners insurance is for. I think most think it’s like a warranty program. 20 year old roof starts to leak and insurance should pay for it. Slow leak rots floors insurance should pay for it. That’s not how it works.

for something like that to work, we’d have to get on the same level as Alabama. Ain’t going to happen
