Hurricane Andrew
Hurricane Andrew stripped store shelves bare across South Florida in 1992.
Andrew hit Aug. 24, 1992 as a Category 5, devastating Homestead. Florida overhauled emergency management after chaotic post-storm shortages — the 'stock up early' lesson traces directly to Andrew's aftermath.
Florida homeowners pay ~3x the U.S. average for home insurance!
Florida's hurricane exposure drove average premiums to roughly $6,000/year vs. ~$2,000 nationally. A wave of insurer exits in 2021-22 worsened the crisis — prompting Florida's 2022 tort reform to stabilize the market.
Every $1 spent on disaster prep saves ~$6 in recovery costs!
The National Institute of Building Sciences found federal mitigation grants return $6 per $1 invested. Hurricane Ian alone caused an estimated $112 billion in Florida damage in 2022.
Florida has the longest coastline of any contiguous U.S. state!
With 1,350 miles of coastline, Florida faces Atlantic AND Gulf storms simultaneously — a dual-threat geography no other state shares, explaining why it leads the nation in hurricane preparedness and consumer protection resources.
Florida's CFO leads a 30,000-home hurricane outreach effort!
