Wildfire mitigation takes a collection of actions, so it can feel overwhelming. But the most important step to reducing your wildfire risk is simply getting started!
IBHS Senior Wildfire Fellow Mark Novak shares a few science-backed actions homeowners can take today to work toward a Wildfire Prepared property.
Congrats to TCAIS leader Beaman Floyd, who was recognized yesterday with the Raymond Mauk Leadership Award by @InsCouncilTx for making a “significant contribution to the Texas property and casualty insurance market” during his career. Well deserved!

No hurricane made landfall in the U.S. 2025 – yet the U.S. still saw more than $100 billion in insured losses for the sixth consecutive year. Losses are being driven by construction costs and severe thunderstorms.

It’s amazing how technology has changed hurricane prediction in just 9 years since Hurricane Harvey. That doesn’t mean Texans should be complacent during this #hurricane season, however: Preparation and awareness remain key. #weather #insurance

Having a great vacation? You might want to keep it to yourself, while you’re away. Share after, not during - more than 75% of convicted burglars describe social media and Google Street View as tools they use when selecting targets. #theft #insurance

A “quieter” #hurricane season isn’t necessarily good news for individuals or #insurers. Even a weak hurricane can produce severe losses, due to increased development on coastlines, higher home values and elevated reconstruction costs. bit.ly/3RfxxtV
Texas is the most disaster-prone state in the U.S., facing a wide variety of severe events – including earthquakes.

#Weather is the No. 1 driver of homeowners claims & insurer costs in Texas. We can’t control weather, but risk mitigation & resiliency can help keep coverage available & more affordable, TCAIS noted in #txlege committee testimony. Learn more: bit.ly/4w0IZrY #Insurance
Not surprising, that Texas continues to be one of the leading states in the number of lightning-related homeowners #insurance claims. Texas in 2025 had the highest average cost per claim among the top states at $60,382 per claim, per @iiiorg. #weather #lightning
Lightning is one of the most underestimated risks for homeowners.
Triple-I says lightning-related claim payouts hit $1.65B in 2025, with average claims topping $26K.

Storms don't follow a schedule - and neither do hail researchers. 🌩️
From forecasting and storm targeting to collecting and analyzing hail, every day during the @IBHS_org Hail Field Experiment is different.
Get a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to study real-world hail.

#NEW: IBHS has completed three big updates to our Wildfire Prepared Program:
🏢 Expanded the program to include multifamily properties and neighborhoods
🏠 Updated our single-family home requirements to make the mitigation process easier to navigate
📝 Simplified program naming to better reflect levels of wildfire protection
These updates reflect the latest IBHS research on reducing home ignition and structure-to-structure fire spread while helping make wildfire mitigation more practical and scalable for property owners and communities.
