Dark storm clouds on horizon

The property insurance industry – and every household protected by it – faces the perfect storm.

Quite literally, devastating climate disasters such as wildfires in California and havoc-wreaking thunderstorms across Texas to hurricanes along the Gulf Coast, are both more frequent and more destructive.
