One of the enduring legacies of the George W. Bush Administration was its award of lucrative (no-bid?) contracts to meteorologists located at Colorado State in the Rocky Mountains to issue Hurricane forecasts for Florida.
Now it is reported that Hurricanes were, shall we say, 'under-reported' in past years. See Ken Kaye, published in the Orlando Sentinel on Sunday, November 6, 2011 under the headline, "Storm of Controversy: Did Experts Miss 75 Hurricanes?" p. B1, col. 1, published online at Florida Sun-Sentinel on Saturday, November 5, 2011 as "Hurricane Center: More Than 240 Tropical Systems Missed".
If Hurricanes and other Weather Disasters are not forecast accurately, how can Homeowners, Property Owners, Landlords, Tenants, and their Insurance Companies reasonably be expected to adequately prepare for Claims which follow these Disasters?
The author will co-present "Disasters in Insurance: The Sequel" on Friday, November 18, 2011 live from Noon to 1:00 PM ET via the West Legal Education Center website.
