More Property Insurance Woes [Government Technology]

Nov. 10—Brenden McCluskey of the King County Office of Emergency Management forwarded this article to me from Governing*: "The Daunting Dilemma of Disaster Insurance."

This is a great article on the topic that matches up well with the blog post I shared earlier this past week: "A Property Insurance Disaster Is Looming."

Don Kettl is a respected disaster researcher and he calls out in his piece for mandatory risk assumption by property owners. Of course, everyone is into holding people accountable for their actions — until they are the ones who are being held accountable.

I still think the option that I lay out in my piece is more likely to happen than people paying for the risks they are taking with their property and financial wellbeing.
