Foster City, CA – September 5, 2019 – Insure.com, recently published insights on how extreme weather is expected to impact home insurance premiums.
The number of weather-related events has increased since 2013 and the number of dollars paid in claims for flooding, tornadoes and wildfires has grown as well. For example, $492,542 was paid to resolve flood claims in 2013 vs. $8.74 million to cover flood claims in 2017, a claim cost increase of 1,674%.
Insure’s article, How climate change is increasing your insurance rates, provides detailed information on climate-related losses and advises homeowners on how they can prevent damage and avoid insurance hikes.
“Homeowners should factor in climate risks when purchasing a home,” recommends Les Masterson, managing editor of Insure.com. “If you already live in a climate-challenged area, be sure to take advantage of lower insurance rates by making improvements that guard against potential damage.”
