Building a Safe Port in the Storm : Private vs. Public Choices in Hurricane Mitigation

This Policy Comment analyzes the connection between hurricane mitigation and insurance.

But empirical evidence shows that markets do value natural hazards risks, including hurricane mitigation, and thus the case for market failure has been overstated
