As hurricane season gets into week 2, it's important to remember that resilience isn't just for homes. It's also for utilities and data infrastructure. It's important for governments and businesses to have multiple redundancies & not rely on one vendor.

AI tools like @Google DeepMind’s hurricane models help improve storm tracking and intensity predictions, helping emergency managers, local governments, and families gain valuable time to prepare and respond. #HurricaneSeason #Resilience

.@LaurenZelt with @pactconsumers is exactly right - Florida's insurance market has stabilized significantly due to the 2023 reforms curbing lawsuit abuse. Policymakers need to continue to allow the reforms to take hold. #FlaPol

🚨WATCH: @LaurenZelt of @pactconsumers lays out how Florida is tackling and LEADING the lawsuit abuse reform discussion, calling it a "GAME CHANGER" for the state

[Florida Office of Insurance Regulation @FLOIR_comm]

What great news to start out the week! @GEICO is announcing additional auto rate decreases for more than 700,000 Florida policyholders.

“GEICO remains committed to serving Florida customers and supporting efforts that promote long-term market stability. This includes reforms led by Florida's governor and the Office of Insurance Regulation that have helped curb legal system abuse and reduce costs for drivers.”

This commentary has it right: the reforms are working, and insurance rates are starting to come down in Florida. Legislators in Tallahassee should keep up the good work and don't allow any backsliding as we head to the finish line during session.

Nearly a million Floridians have moved to the private property-insurance market as home and auto insurance costs drop after the 2023 reforms. https://t.co/KVCqkmyU4Q

While Florida was lucky this hurricane season, rising costs to the electric grid is weighing on consumers. With data centers increasing demand, it will be imperative that increased costs aren't passed onto consumers. Google has taken steps to address this- https://t.co/uukJEUmD5y

"In an interview with Florida Politics, Michael Yaworsky said overall litigation is down about 30% since lawmakers approved the property insurance reforms in a late 2022 Special Session and an extensive tort law rewrite in the 2023 Regular Session."

While some will point to #datacenters as a driver for increased electric rates, a new study actually finds extreme weather events like hurricanes drive them up more. #Resilience is key to ensuring we have affordable energy! #FlaPol @washingtonpost

BREAKING: The NOAA aircraft that was investigating Melissa today had to leave the storm early due to "severe turbulence." Melissa is STILL intensifying.

This is extremely rare. The aircraft are BUILT for severe turbulence and extreme conditions. Melissa is truly a monster.

Some pretty big changes in the latest 12z Thursday spaghetti models. Latest here on https://t.co/3cvwpvWgRA. The trend is now become possible reality. Lots to watch with Invest 94 and future Imelda. Timing would be early next week impacts. https://t.co/Hk3pbO84Yf

[Stronger Safer Florida @StrongerSaferFL]

While models currently don't show any impacts to Florida, #tsGabrielle is a good reminder that we are in peak hurricane season. Make sure to have a plan in place in case of disaster. Visit https://t.co/ij0n4j8jcp to find information and resources to protect you & your family.

The Atlantic season's 7th named storm, Tropical Storm Gabrielle, has formed. Gabrielle is expected to slowly strengthen and may approach Bermuda as a hurricane early next week.

As @FLChamber points out, Florida's recent legislative reforms to address the property insurance crisis has led to a new wave of property insurers operating in the state, resulting in stability in rates. #FlaPol

While #Erin is not expected to make major impacts on Florida, it serves as an important reminder to be prepared for hurricanes especially as we enter the peak season. #FlaPol

#ERIN UPDATE: Cat 4 Hurricane Erin will ease north away from the Bahamas today and tomorrow. Powerful swells - energy in the ocean - radiating from the storm will produce extremely large and powerful waves and dangerous currents along the East Coast the rest of the week.

Mitigation is the most cost effective and proven way to be resilient against storms. @JulioFSHCC makes a strong case in his recent op-ed in @theinvadingsea.

[The Honest Broker @RogerPielkeJr]

Activist climate scientists tell us that “solutions” to severe and costly weather events lies in deploying solar and wind for electricity

That is wrong

Addressing the impacts of extreme weather requires a focus on exposure and vulnerability
