Chaney: Mitigation program would save money, property, and lives
SUMMARY: The Insurance Commissioner of Mississippi addresses concerns about rising insurance rates due to market challenges, like inflation and supply chain issues. A proposed solution is the Hurricane and Wind Mitigation Program, aimed at reducing costs for policyholders by encouraging home fortification. The program includes incentives such as discounts on insurance premiums for homes meeting mitigation standards. Research indicates significant savings from investing in mitigation, with construction improvements potentially leading to up to 60% reduced losses from natural disasters. The program could be funded by an existing property and casualty insurance assessment and grants, without extra bureaucracy. This initiative follows successful examples in nearby states and responds to the increasing frequency and severity of natural disasters affecting Mississippi.

SUMMARY: Mississippi State’s athletics department has received a significant $3 million donation from an anonymous out-of-state family, supporting the newly launched State Excellence Fund aimed at enhancing resources for student-athletes. This contribution is part of a collective effort to attract top talent in a competitive college sports environment shaped by name, image, and likeness compensation and the transfer portal. Athletics Director Zac Selmon expressed gratitude for the support, emphasizing the importance of these funds in building a successful athletic program. The announcement follows an earlier pledge of $8 million to the same fund as the football season concludes against Ole Miss.
