41 Are Florida s Development Patterns Rational?
42 Excessive Catastrophe Exposure: Outcome of Economically & Politically Rational Decision Process? Property Owners Make economically rational decision to live in disaster-prone areas Low cost of living, low real estate prices & rapid appreciation, low/no income tax, low property tax, rapid job growth Government-run insurers (e.g., CPIC, NFIP) provide implicit subsidies by selling insurance at below-market prices with few underwriting restrictions Government aid, tax deductions, litigation recovery for uninsured losses No fear of death and injury Local Zoning/Permitting Authorities Allowing development is economically & politically rational & fiscally sound Residential construction creates jobs, attracts wealth, increases tax receipts, stimulates commercial construction & permanent jobs, develops infrastructure Increases local representation in state legislature & political influence Property and infrastructure damage costs shifted to others (state and federal taxpayers, policyholders in unaffected areas) Developers Coastal development is a high-margin business Financial interest reduced to zero after sale Source: Insurance Information Institute.
43 Excessive Catastrophe Exposure: Outcome of Economically & Politically Rational Decision Process? State Legislators Loathe to pass laws negatively impacting development in home districts Local development benefits local economy and enhances political influence Rapid development lessens need for higher income and property taxes Can redistribute CAT losses to unaffected policyholders and taxpayers Can suppress insurance prices via state insurance regulator, suppress pricing and weaken underwriting standards in state-run insurer & redistribute losses Congressional Delegation Home state development increases influence in Washington Political representation, share of federal expenditures Loathe to pass laws harming development in home state/district Tax law promotes homeownership and actually produces supplemental benefits for property owners in disaster-prone areas Large amounts of unbudgeted disaster aid easily authorized Tax burden largely borne by those outside CAT zone & those with no representation (children & unborn) President Presidential disaster declarations and associated aid are increasing Political benefits to making declarations and distributing large amounts of aid Direct impact on favorability ratings & election outcomes Losses can be distributed to other areas and the unrepresented Source: Insurance Information Institute.
44 How Insurers Signal What Should be Built and Where
45 Government-Run Insurers Lead to Poor Land Use/Design Decisions Government-run insurers (markets of last resort) serve as a vital safety valve after major market disruptions, but also serve as an enabler of unwise development Government-run property insurers wash away market-based signals about relative risk Consequence is runaway development in disaster-prone areas Government-run insurers: Generally fail to charge actuarially sound rates Have weak underwriting standards Are thinly capitalized Can assess losses to policyholders other than their own Vulnerable to political pressure Inadequate premiums, insufficient capital and weak underwriting mean that most government plans, from Citizens Property Insurance Corporation to the National Flood Insurance Program operate with frequent deficits
46 Negative Outcomes from Flaws in Government-Run Insurers True risk associated with building on a particular piece of property is obscured Subsidies are generated leading to market distortions/inequities: Many thousands of homes likely would not have been built (or built differently) if property owner obligated to pay actuarially sound rates CPIC assessments from Wilma will require grandmothers living in trailer parks on fixed incomes in Gainesville to subsidize million dollar homes in Marco Island via assessment (surcharges). Serial rebuilding in disaster-prone areas is the norm Property owners come to assume that the government rate is the fair rate and object to moves to actuarially sound rates. Government-run insurer can t control its own exposure Legislature mandates that CPIC offer coverage in most cases if no private insurer will offer coverage due to high risk, near certainty of destruction No restrictions on value of property, so high-valued properties represent disproportionate share of potential loss Taxpayer Burden: NFIP borrowed $20B+ in 2005
47 Insurance-in-Force: CPIC vs. Voluntary (Private) Insurers That s why operating in the red is unavoidable Private insurers accept relatively little wind risk in South FL

58 What Works, What Doesn t
59 Successful Tools for Controlling Hurricane Exposure Strengthened building codes Stringent enforcement of building codes Fortified home programs Insurance rates based on sound actuarial principles (risk-based rates that are not government controlled); Works for commercial insurers Disciplined underwriting Removing impediments to capital flows Incentives to adopt mitigation Forcing communities to consider and take a larger stake in their catastrophe exposure Source: Insurance Information Institute
60 Unsuccessful Tools for Controlling Hurricane Exposure Insurance rates that are not actuarially sound (i.e., don t reflect true risk) Political interference in rate process Inadequate underwriting controls Subsidies Intra-state (policyholders/taxpayers) US Taxpayer Voluntary flood coverage Litigation Source: Insurance Information Institute
61 Faux Pas & Fatal Flaws in Florida s Approach to Managing CAT Risk FAUX PAS Governor has unnecessarily, unjustifiably and counterproductively vilified private insurers and reinsurers Insurers want to find ways to cover the majority of hurricane-exposed property in FL and will do so if given the opportunity Insurers and capital markets can be partners in finding lasting and innovative solutions to Florida s permanent hurricane problem Changes to market are arbitrary, capricious and punitive and violate virtually all laws of modern economics, finance, statistics and actuarial science Meteorological and actuarial reality have been forced to take a back seat to politics Political risk to insurers now exceeds hurricane risk Bottom Line: Residents of Florida are Now the Most Financially Exposed People on Earth to Catastrophic Risk
62 Faux Pas & Fatal Flaws in Florida s Approach to Managing CAT Risk FATAL FLAWS Virtually no diversification Basically monoline, single state, single risk No true spread of risk Citizens market share is concentrated in riskiest areas FHCF is Citizen s sole reinsurer; FHCF doesn t access retrocessional mkt. Rates in Citizens not even remotely close to actuarially sound Citizens & FHCF are too thinly capitalized Losses are substantially funded via post-event assessment Plants seeds of animosity between non-coastal & coastal dwellers (within state and with non-coastal states) Largest beneficiaries are residents of southeast coast Plan will alienate business community (liability lines assessed) Homeowners insurance has been converted into a regressive income and wealth transfer mechanism May have harmed chances for Fed Natural Catastrophe Fund Little done to address true risk of hurricanes
63 Problem Issues Local control of land use and permitting creates significant incentive problems Benefits accrue locally while many costs can be redistributed to others via taxes, insurance and aid Prospect of government aid reinforces unsound building and location decisions States don t want to raise taxes to pay for mitigation/prevention even if state is sole beneficiary E.g., NO levees; Beach replenishment Source: Insurance Information Institute

76 Recommendations
77 Recommendations for Controlling Hurricane Exposure Raise public awareness of risk Mandatory risk disclosure in all residential real estate transactions Require signed waivers if decline flood coverage that also waive rights to any and all disaster aid, or Mandate flood coverage Continue to strengthen & enforce of building codes Allow markets to determine all property insurance rates Role of state focused on difficult-to-insure or income issues Increase incentives to mitigate Require state-run insurer to charge actuarially sound rates and limit high value exposure Require communities/counties to a financial stake in their catastrophe exposure Reimburse disaster aid to state/federal government
