Senate Budget Chair Sheldon Whitehouse sent a letter that cited a recent comment by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis that Citizens is “not solvent.”

The National Flood Insurance Program has paid out $364 million to cover damage to homes and businesses from 2023's Hurricane Idalia.

A home-hardening grant program designed to help reduce property-insurance costs could get another $200 million from the state.

The request raises questions about climate risks & whether the federal government could be asked to bail out Citizens in a major hurricane.

Estimated insured losses from Hurricane Idalia have reached $309.5 million, while claims have topped 25,000 in Florida.

The Florida House voted 110-0 to approve a bill to cover 17,000 already-submitted applications to the My Safe Florida Home program.

More than 17,000 applications await funding or have been submitted as part of Florida's My Safe Florida Home program.

After a natural disaster, a variety of resources become available to aid in the cleanup process, including FEMA financial assistance.

In a typical Atlantic Ocean hurricane season, from late August to mid-September is the busiest time for tropical storms and hurricanes.
