Deep dives
Impact of Hurricane Helene on Insurance Markets
Hurricane Helene significantly affected the Southeast U.S., leaving over four million without power and highlighting the complexities of the insurance market in Florida. The storm, being the first category four event to strike the panhandle since 1851, underscores the increasing value of land at risk as more people relocate to the region. Insurers are facing difficulties in pricing risks due to the rising frequency of catastrophic weather events, prompting companies to either withdraw or become stricter with policy renewals. As the insurance landscape evolves, increased premiums become necessary to address the mounting risks posed by such extreme weather patterns.
