At @aspen_climate in 2023, @SCrawford expressed concerns about the inaccuracy of the nation's flood maps, which underplay risks esp. in places like rural NC and TN where Hurricane Helene recently wrought devastation. Learn more from @MerylDL for @NatGeo: nationalgeographic.com/scien…

Warren Buffett’s $7B investment in Chubb Ltd. shows how climate change is driving up property insurance costs. For many homeowners, coverage is becoming harder to afford—or even find. The stakes are rising. susanpcrawford.substack.com/… #climaterisks #insurance

Insurers are leaving Florida. Citizens, Florida’s last-resort insurer, handles 69% of premiums. After Hurricane Debby, 77% of claims were denied. Florida homeowners are trapped between rising costs and shrinking home values. How long can this continue? susanpcrawford.substack.com/…

Florida’s explosive growth is running into climate risks, leaving homeowners with rising premiums and unreliable insurance. In places like Pinellas County, hurricanes are exposing the cost of living on the coast. Will Florida adapt before it’s too late? susanpcrawford.substack.com/…

Rising insurance costs are slamming commercial real estate, not just homeowners. With climate risks soaring, operators face narrowing coverage options—and skyrocketing expenses. The financial stakes are growing. susanpcrawford.substack.com/…

Reinsurers are tightening contract terms and raising rates as climate risks intensify. This will push insurers out of markets like Florida and California, leaving millions vulnerable. #Reinsurance #PropertyInsurance susanpcrawford.substack.com/…

Planned relocation isn’t a last resort—it’s a smart, long-term strategy for climate resilience. New Zealand gets it, and the U.S. needs to catch up before the next disaster strikes. susanpcrawford.substack.com/… #ClimateAdaptation #Resilience

Helen and Milton show us our ever-warmer, wetter, and riskier future. Insurance and property markets are beginning to reprice. Implications for financial structures and institutions are staggering, or will be soon. open.substack.com/pub/susanp…

New Zealand principles for climate adaptation affirmatively point toward allocating support for people who need to relocate, NOT "preserving wealth or protecting property owners from the risks of property ownership." Post today: susanpcrawford.substack.com/…

America is still focused on reactive disaster relief, ignoring the long-term costs of climate inaction. New Zealand’s recent report on adaptation shows the way forward. susanpcrawford.substack.com/… #ClimateAdaptation #ClimateRisk
