Sure it won’t disrupt the market. Unless you’re in Florida like me and Zurich decides to non-renew lots of property, stop writing any new risks with windstorm exposure and curtails any near coastal properties. That’s not disruptive at all….right.
This is a joke, right?
I wish this were true. We’re a thousand miles from the Gulf and we’re seeing the changes now. Just wait until after the 1-1 treaty renewals. Maybe ISO should negotiate them.
I am trying to put together a short report on where the 200 billion will go to repair the damage done by hurricane Katrina. I can’t find anything that is remotely specific. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Come on guys. We all know that, even after my Allstate rate disapproval you are making so much money that a couple of humdred billion dollars of losses will mean nothing.
My guess would be that the majority of the $200 billion will go into the pockets of those politicians in Louisiana that are in charge of the rebuilding and to their pet projects. Its not like the political climate of Louisiana was above board before the hurricanes…why should that change now?
Of course there will be flagrant misappropriation, but I am curious to see if they actually presented a plan that indicated how much money was going where. I guess I am optimistacally naive when it comes to gov’t…
Hey, I hear that Citizens is going to cut rates in half in Florida and offer coverages that were not available before, this is as likely to happen as the markets not collapsing in the entire Gulf coast areas. can any one explain why FEMA / NFIP decided 20 some years ago that one block off the Gulf of Mexico would be classed as a “C” flood zone? Someone has some splaining to do, the wind coverage concept is clever, coverage is provided on the dec page for the hazard but underwriten and handled by MWUA (Mississippi wind underwriting assoc) at least this way coverage is there and not on a seperate policy to be lost and not paid (as happens in Florida) maybe they should consider this for flood. The homeowners carrier collect the premium on the HO3, HO6 etc and forwards to the flood division, simple coverage on one policy, little room for screw ups and customers don’t blame agents for not selling coverage they did not want and would not have bought if given the option. The agents biggest problem is protecting insureds from their own dumb decisions to save money.

This article appears to be poorly researched and contary to common sense.
Come on guys, why do put out irresponsible statements like this?

I feel much better now that the experts say there will be no market disruption in sothern Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama.

And then I came and sprinkled magic fairy dust and all those unpleasant issues associated with costal property development magicly disappeared.
