Insurance companies are not charities.
When the big hurricanes return to the Eastern Seaboard, property insurance policies may be canceled or rates may become
prohibitive, especially near the coast. A national natural disaster emergency fund would help ensure that property owners remain
protected and insurance companies aren't made insolvent. The organization Protecting America advocates for such a program, as
the nation is certain to face costly natural disasters. It also urges an agenda of greater public education and awareness of effective
prevention, protection and recovery measures.
