National Wind Policy
Independent Insurance Agents and Brokers of America (IIABA) is not only concerned with man-made catastrophic risks but also those created by the forces of nature. The high costs of recent natural disasters combined with the fear of future catastrophes have restricted homeowners’ insurance availability in disaster-prone regions. Several recent multibillion-dollar disasters have created exposure and solvency issues for companies that write homeowners insurance in disaster prone areas. As a result, many insurance companies have stopped writing new business in or withdrawn from at-risk markets, making it difficult for residents to find homeowners’ coverage.

A Sample Letter to
Send to
the Contacts Listed Above (Or Talking
Points to Include in Your Own Letter):
Why hasn't Congress put into place a national wind
policy
similar
to national flood insurance? Insurance companies cannot offer
hurricane insurance due to it large economic and catastrophic nature so
the
federal government has to offer it. It can be serviced by the
same organizations. Then the property insurance companies could remove
wind from their
policies
and reduce our premiums. We would in turn be offered wind policies like
flood policies and our insurance companies would have no valid reason
to stop
writing insurance in our states.
We need a viable insurance marketplace to recover from catastrophic
wind losses. It is impossible for each state to take on this economic
burden
without federal backing through one of their state run insurance pools.
I understand that the other perils of
earthquake
and terrorism could also be offered under this type of national
insurance,
but for now we need to start the process with wind.
