    Home insurers cut natural disasters from policies as climate risks
    grow

    Some of the largest U.S. insurance companies say extreme weather has
    led them to end certain coverages, exclude natural disaster
    protections and raise premiums

    In the aftermath of extreme weather events, major insurers are
    increasingly no longer offering coverage that homeowners in areas
    vulnerable to those disasters need most.

    At least five large U.S. property insurers -- including Allstate,
    American Family, Nationwide, Erie Insurance Group and Berkshire
    Hathaway -- have told regulators that extreme weather patterns caused
    by climate change have led them to stop writing coverages in some
    regions, exclude protections from various weather events and raise
    monthly premiums and deductibles.
