Hurricanes and Insurance
FL113036 - 6 Hours
This CE course explains the coverage issues associated with a storm including hurricane deductibles and timely notice and reviews the water versus wind issue.






Hurricanes are one of the deadliest weather-related disasters, and the costs associated with hurricane damage have been increasing as coastal areas become more populated. Although Florida did not have any hurricanes for over ten years, Florida’s fragile property insurance market has resulted in nearly year after year of steadily rising insurance rates for homeowners. Florida is a uniquely risky insurance market. Most of its insured residential and commercial property - 78 percent - lies in coastal areas vulnerable to both wind damage and flooding.
