How do Strong Hurricanes affect FL and NJ Insurance?

Katrina: Irene, Sandy, Ingrid, Mathew, Florence – now Michael?

The news sources tell us how Hurricane Michael will make a devastating landfall in the FL Panhandle. As residents of FL brace themselves in an official state of emergency, the tropical storm has been graded a Category 2 storm. The potential for flooding, storm surging and devastating losses looms precariously.

Are Residents Really Prepared?

With Americans solemnly commemorating the 13th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina a little over a month ago, the fearful question remains: have we truly learned the painful lessons wrought by the total destruction? Are we now more prepared to confront violent storms than before? Larry Greenemeier’s August 27th article, “Is the US Ready for the Next Hurricane Katrina?” reveals some of our inadequacies in this respect.

Of course, there is another issue as well. Though residents of FL and the vicinity are familiar with the relationship between storms and homeowners and business insurance, NJ inhabitants have just recently begun to realize the impact recent catastrophic weather has had on the area.

Since Sandy, Deal, Long Branch, Toms River, Manahawkin and other townships within the NJ shore area are considered part of a ‘storm exposed area’. With the classification comes the need to address serious concerns related to coverage.

The only way to prepare for storm risks is by having adequate coastal insurance. Following Sandy, NJ’s coastal areas have much in common with Florida, Texas and other regions that sit close to the water’s edge or are prone to wind and hailstorms.
