Welcome!
Hello, and thank you for visiting the blog of the Natural Disasters class at St. Benedict's Prep. My first question to the students is this: What is your opinion about whether or not insurance companies should insure people's property that is in a known disaster zone (i.e., shorefront property in Florida, on the San Andreas fault in California, etc.)? Please explain your stance.
