Hodges highlights the staggering $92.9 billion in weather-related damages the U.S. incurred last year alone, underscoring the pressing need for a reevaluation of risk management strategies within the insurance industry. With rising premiums and reduced capacity reshaping the insurance landscape, millions of properties across the country face non-renewals and soaring insurance costs, leaving homeowners grappling with uncertainty.
