Work with legislators, regulators & consumers to find policy solutions that will improve insurance affordability & accessibility in Texas.

Consumers can protect themselves and help keep insurance premiums from rising by watching out for red flags of insurance fraud, which costs the U.S. about $308.6 billion annually, or each policyholder $900 in annual premium increases. #insurance insurancejournal.com/news/national/…


This analysis underscores why it’s key to find ways to mitigate loss of lives and property from severe weather that we can’t prevent. #prevention #weather #insurance riskandinsurance.com/rising-losses-…


Severe weather and inflation aren’t the only big drivers of home and auto insurance costs these days … “nuclear verdicts” and legal abuse are having a tremendous financial impact, as this new study underscores. insurancebusinessmag.com/us/news/breaki… #Insurance

To go deeper in our research on fire behavior in landscaped environments, IBHS ran tests after post-disaster investigations and recent wildfire discussions to examine how flames move through hedges. 🌿These insights are further shaping our approach to defensible space and…


A new study by @IBHS_org shows that even small #hail can add up to roof damage. All the more reason for a homeowner to explore ways they can protect their roof and minimize the risk of damage, such as impact-resistant shingles. frontiersin.org/journals/mater… #weather #insurance


Good article illustrating why #hurricanes aren’t just a coastal problem in Texas. Example: Beryl, which struck Texas in July 2024, spawned more than 60 tornadoes from Texas to New York. #insurance statesman.com/weather/articl…


Report: >$1.1 trillion in Texas property is at risk from severe climate change-related disasters, mostly from floods and wind. Take precautions to protect your property, including making sure you are adequately insured. #insurance #climatechange houstonchronicle.com/business/colum…

Tomlinson: Texans have $1.1 trillion in property at risk of extreme weather

Insurers say $1.1 trillion in Texas real estate is at risk from extreme weather caused by climate change, preparations needed.


The hurricane season has been quiet so far for Texas – but now’s not the time to let your guard down! Since the early 1850s, Texas has logged 50 tropical storms and hurricanes in September. Prepare, or stay prepared. #hurricane #insurance houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-w…

#OnThisDay: 2017 Harvey grew from a tropical depression to a Category 4 hurricane in two days. The slow-moving storm dumped 60 inches of rain in some areas, causing devastating flooding across southeast Texas. #txwx bit.ly/flood-policy


Damage from extreme weather will cost $32 billion annually across Texas and four other Gulf Coast states by 2050 in a "middle of the road" climate change scenario, per a new analysis. #insurance #weather #climatechange axios.com/2025/08/21/cli…

Climate change will cost these states tens of billions by 2050

The Urban Institute's analysis is based on FEMA's Future Risk Index.


We can’t change the #weather, but we can change how we prepare for it. TCAIS has long supported risk mitigation steps that save lives, prevent loss and damage, decrease #insurance claims and lower insurance premiums for consumers. #DisasterPreparedness insurancejournal.com/news/national/…


#Flood damage is not typically covered by standard homeowner #insurance – it requires specific flood #insurance. 99% of U.S. counties have had a flood event in the past 20 years - now might be a good time to explore whether you need flood insurance. bit.ly/46J6nAC


.@PVAMU research is looking how land use and urban development influence flooding, water movement and storm behavior in order to reduce risk, enhance resilience and support informed planning for our growing state. pvamu.edu/blog/opinion-h… #weather #disasterpreparedness

Increased climate costs from #insurance premiums, power outages, disaster recovery and uninsured damage are responsible for $7.7 trillion since 2000. Risks are increased severe & extreme weather plus development insufficiently focused on resilience. claimsjournal.com/news/national/…
