Rooted in fact-based, transparent reporting, Newsy is an award-winning opinion-free network owned by the E.W. Scripps Company that is relentlessly focused on “the why” of every story and seeks to enable a more intimate and immersive understanding of the issues that matter.
The frequency and cost of severe weather events in the U.S. are both climbing. In 2023, the country set a record for the number of weather or climate disasters that cost more than $1 billion. The U.S. had 28 of those events in 2023.
Now, when disaster strikes, some homeowners are finding their insurance providers aren't covering all of their costs. Mark Friedlander, director of corporate communications with the Insurance Information Institute, spoke with Scripps News about the costs of climate and weather-related insurance and what consumers should look out for.
"There's a critical component of home insurance policies called your dwelling coverage, listed as 'Coverage A' on your declarations page. That's your replacement-cost coverage," Friedlander said."And if you have not updated that recently, there's a good chance you're going to have a shortfall if you suffer a loss.
