The exodus continues. Following State Farm's coastal restrictions and Allstate's selective underwriting, North Carolina homeowners face an insurance crisis not seen since Hurricane Hugo. But while your neighbors scramble for coverage, FORTIFIED homeowners remain protected and insurable.
The Current Insurance Crisis
Who's Leaving:
- • Major national carriers restricting new policies within 1 mile of coast
- • Regional insurers non-renewing entire ZIP codes
- • Surplus lines premiums increasing 40-60% annually
- • NCIUA (Beach Plan) overwhelmed with 125,000+ policies
Why They're Leaving:
- • $30+ billion in hurricane losses since 2016
- • Reinsurance costs tripled
- • Climate models showing increased frequency
- • Regulatory challenges in rate adjustments
