Hurricane coverage for Hawaiians.
by: Christine Zafra
The ocean is the largest body of water—and the Pacific Ocean is the largest among all the oceans laid on earth’s surface. It also differs from the rest of the oceans since its current is stronger compared to the rest (there is little mass surrounding the Pacific Ocean, the wind has a wider area to pull) and since the water is generally hotter than the rest, typhoons and storms cannot be avoided.
Now Asian countries and those in the Pacific region are doing their best to do a damage control to the results of the said natural phenomenon. Two of the insurance companies in Hawaii, Argo Group US and First Insurance Co. to be specific, formed a pair up to offer residents of Hawaii hurricane insurance.
