Katrina -2005

8. Hurricane Ivan losses............. $312 million Katrina losses.................. $276 million Combined coastal losses........... $588 million Coastal premiums in 2004 & 05 totaled... $275 million When premiums and deductibles were at the state average, HALF the cost of the hurricanes were paid with premiums collected in the same year as the storms.

9. South Alabama’s coastal counties have lower losses per policy than the rest of the state because: -- hurricanes do significant damage statewide -- upstate tornados and hail do extensive damage inland

10. $1,384 Premium $786 Premium All of State State excluding coastCoastal Counties The coastal counties did not suffer 4 times more in losses than the rest of the state. They have had LESS. YET... the Department of Insurance decided to allow companies to charge coastal counties 4 times more.

11. The average price for homeowners insurance around the rest of the state is $950! It is time for the Department of Insurance to halt the unfair discrimination against Alabama’s coastal counties. As in the decades before 2006, we should pay the state average. Less actually. ALABAMA RATE STATUTES Alabama statute says that rates must not be: * Excessive * Inadequate * Unfairly discriminatory
