- Enhancing the My Safe Florida Home Program to provide more effective economic incentives for consumers to retrofit homes that reduce losses from future storms.
- Implementing stricter land use policies to place reasonable limitations on development in high-risk areas.
- Promoting greater transparency in insurance transactions by making additional information on discounts, coverages and premium break-downs available to consumers.
- Strengthening the financial position of the FHCF through additional reinsurance.
- Providing insurers incentives to write more policies by allowing them to offer consumers a wider variety of limits and deductibles and reducing government control of rates.
