Insurance - SFL

This working group has been created to discuss the topic of Insurance and its impact to local residents of the South Florida Metroplex community.  As the frequency and severity of Hurricane events increases, the threat of a catastrophic storm event similar to Hurricane Sandy hitting South Florida is great.  South Florida is no stranger to severe Hurricanes, such as Hurricane Andrew in 1992.  Miami's growth and its population density increase since 1992 increases the risk of a severe event scenario, if Miami was to sustain a direct hit from a catastrophic storm.  Today flood zones throughout the Northeast of the United States are being rezoned because of Hurricane Sandy and the threat these more intense storms poses on coastal communities.  This working group hopes to address all relevant subjects related to the Insurance industry, its South Florida customers and the regulations that govern its practice.
