Across our state, communities regularly face devastating natural hazards, like flooding, severe storms, and other extreme weather events. These disasters can strike hardest in certain counties, increasing the risk of property damage and leaving families displaced from their homes and their lives in disarray. In the wake of disasters, folks look to insurance companies for relief and coverage to help with the financial burdens that stem from damage to their homes.
 
Unfortunately, that is not always the case. Increasingly, insurance companies offer coverage that is inadequate to cover damages while stalling the process at every turn. It is for this reason that I plan to introduce legislation that bars insurance companies from doing just that. This legislation will enable our residents to receive the coverage they need to repair their homes and empower them to hold insurance companies accountable when delays occur.  
 
Please consider co-sponsoring this much-needed legislation and let us work together to fix this serious issue.
