Just released: A NEW report from @HazardHubUSA and NCIP with data demonstrating that the NFIP benefits wealthy homeowners at the expense of lower-income homeowners. Download here: bit.ly/2VquuPY #flood #NFIP #floodinsurance

We contacted @TwitterSupport, who did not respond until after my account was reactivated. They have provided no reason for my account suspension, nor have they offered an apology. This sort of capricious treatment doesn’t speak well for Twitter’s role in free and open discourse.

Several weeks ago, a member of my team alerted me that our Twitter account had been suspended. This came as a surprise to all of us. After reviewing the terms of service, I could find no justification for this action.

I took some time to discuss #disasterprepadness while in a pandemic with AM Best Podcast. Are you prepared? ambest.com/bestday/podcas…

I am happy to highlight an article written by a member of our organization and published in Property and Casualty 360 yesterday. It contains some great advice about #earthquakes and preparing for #emergencies, but then you would expect me to say that! propertycasualty360.com/2020/04/22/rec…

I recently had the opportunity to discuss with John Weber from AM Best TV the faults in the rating used by the NFIP which results in disadvantages to the lower value, lower risk properties. Along with the opportunities in privet flood insurance. ambest.com/video/MediaArc…

With #flood season upon us I discussed #floodinsurance challenges and #privateflood options with @InsuranceBizUS see the below article for details insurancebusinessmag.com/us/news/catast…

We know it has been a confusing couple of weeks for many people, and we hope everyone is safe and well. We are operating and here to support our partners and customers, as always. Reach us at 801-268-2600 or ICservice@poulton.com.

Early this morning, here in Salt Lake City, we experienced a 5.7 Richter Scale earthquake. Everyone at Poulton Associates is safe and sound. It’s a reminder that mother nature doesn’t pay attention to what we think, but we should pay attention to what she’s capable of.

Have you read it yet? "Beneath the Surface" details the inequities of the current #floodinsurance system. Check out the link below for more details: bit.ly/2VquuPY

Our research with @HazardHubUSA revealed an #NFIP that subsidizes wealthy homeowners at the expense of lower-income homeowners and taxpayers. See our report at the link below: bit.ly/2VquuPY

Our research demonstrates an #NFIP that benefits wealthy homeowners. Rates are higher for lower-income households, while loss ratios are higher for areas with pricier property values. Read our full report here: bit.ly/2VquuPY

@Zachary highlights in @POLITICOPro the key issues with the #NFIP that we outlined in our latest report. [login required] bit.ly/2TFbLh0

Our latest report illuminates the urgent need for #NFIP reform, as @thesagaofzoe highlights for @CQnow [login required]: bit.ly/3atdPQg

Though Congress required the NFIP to raise rates in the Biggert-Waters Act to more actuarily sound levels, #NFIP rates have actually decreased over the last 5 years. Learn more about the issues with the NFIP in our latest report with @HazardHubUSA bit.ly/2VquuPY

I had the opportunity to unveil the new NCIP & @HazardHubUSA report on Capitol Hill earlier this week. Thanks to those who joined us to talk #flood #insurance and my fellow panelists @raylehmann and @TaxpayersEllis. Get the report: bit.ly/2VquuPY

This is one of the fundamental problems with the #NFIP today. They are essentially encouraging development in flood-prone areas. Our new report shows loss ratios are higher in areas with high property values — where riskier development has been permitted: bit.ly/2VquuPY

And thank you to @RSI for hosting and to @raylehmann and @TaxpayersEllis.

The Congressional briefing has come to a close. Thank you to those who joined us for this important conversation about the revealing data from the HazardHub report and the need for flood insurance reform.
