in disaster areas, whether its repeated wildfires, flooding, hurricanes, whatever, and insurance companies just have to price their policies correctly according to the risk.
You want to insure your million dollar house in a high wildfire area?...$100,000 per year please for the insurance
There's a saying in the insurance industry that there's no bad risk, just bad pricing. Get those high risk people removed out of the pool that shares risk with "normal" houses in other areas of the countries. Stick them in their own high risk pool, insulated from impacting others that don't choose to live in such a place, and charge them insurance accordingly.
If some rich idiot wants to spend $10million on a beach home that costs $1million per year to insure, then thats on him. But lenders not lending to those people for those type of properties is the first step
