A hurricane creates rough seas along a coastline near a lighthouse.

Each year, hurricanes are becoming stronger, more frequent and more unpredictable. For businesses and homeowners alike, this isn’t just a seasonal inconvenience — it’s a serious risk that can lead to devastating losses, costly insurance claims and long-term disruptions.

What More Hurricanes Means for Insurance

As storms intensify, insurers are reassessing coverage limits, increasing premiums and tightening underwriting standards. Whether you’re protecting a commercial property or your family home, it’s more important than ever to understand your coverage and take proactive steps to reduce risk.

For businesses, hurricanes can halt operations, damage critical infrastructure and put employees in harm’s way. For homeowners, the threat is deeply personal — property damage, displacement and financial stress can linger long after the storm passes.
