About

Why does this site exist?

Because 95% of Americans have seen their premiums increase, and hardly anyone’s talking about it. From Florida hurricanes to California wildfires to Midwest flooding, every state, every income level, every community is feeling the impact. Insurance companies are overwhelmed—and people are paying the price. The system we have was built for a world where disasters were a possibility, not one where they’re almost a certainty.

Why should I care about this?

Because this isn’t just an insurance problem. It’s an economic domino effect. When coverage disappears, properties become unmortgageable. When mortgages dry up, markets crash. This could be the next financial collapse.

Who should pay for this crisis?

That’s the question everyone’s asking but no one’s answering. Insurance companies can’t carry the entire burden. Consumers can’t afford to pay more. Our changing climate is bringing more destructive weather. Something has to give.

FAQ

Why is my insurance getting so expensive?

Severe weather events are happening more often and causing bigger losses. Insurance companies raise rates to cover these costs. Many families are seeing their premiums rise by $500 or more each year.

Insurance was built for the possibility of damage, not the certainty of it. As destructive weather becomes more predictable, companies exit those markets. This isn’t your fault. But someone has to pay.
Yes. 95% of Americans have seen premium increases. It’s not just Florida and California—this crisis is hitting every region.
Your risk may be greater than you realize! Storms and fires are affecting more people every year. But even if you live in a relatively safe area, insurance companies distribute the cost of catastrophes across their entire service territory. Expensive disasters in one state can affect people everywhere.
No. Weather patterns have fundamentally changed, making extreme events permanent fixtures. As one executive said: “We’re approaching levels where insurers can’t offer coverage.”
No insurance means no mortgage. No mortgages crash property markets. Experts predict 20-40% of U.S. homes could face price crashes in the next five years.
Yes. The 2008 crisis was caused by bad loans that could be fixed. This crisis is caused by permanent changes to weather patterns that make homes riskier to insure.
