I'm at the California Adaptation Forum this week and so far this is my favorite visual with the Star Wars theme. @CivicWellorg

In New York, property sellers can avoid disclosing flood damages by giving $500 to a homebuyer.

That needs to change. Homebuyers should have a right-to-know about flood damages and risks. via @timesunion @joelscataNRDC @MichaelGerrard

In Florida (and 21 other states) home buyers are not told about a property's past history of flood damages or whether they must buy flood insurance. As a result, tens of thousands of people probably unknowingly buy a home vulnerable to flooding.

As hurricane season begins, many Florida residents are still cleaning up from last year.

@BojorquezCBS and @weatherchannel investigate Florida’s flooded future — as some say the state is keeping vulnerable residents in the dark about their flood risks.

Developers keep building in harm’s way, because outdated rules and construction standards allow them to. The result: Our nation is locked into a perpetual cycle of flood-rebuild-repeat

FEMA's failure to account for climate change is disastrous for BIPOC https://t.co/Msx8NcxqAX @raylevyuyeda with @RobMooreNRDC

“We’re making decisions and building hundreds and thousands of homes every year based on yesterday’s data, and maybe today’s data if the map is updated, and we’re not even thinking about tomorrow’s data,” said @CBerginnis of @FloodsOrg.

TX peeps: New Harris County flood maps will be first in US to show more accurate risks for homes, businesses https://t.co/kj90hWGB2L "One of the fatal flaws of FEMA flood maps is that they are largely backward looking," - @RobMooreNRDC

If you want to know what the future holds for many coastal communities, read this story. Many owners bought their homes fairly recently, on the assumption that the ocean and the beach stay in the same place forever.

Private insurers get caught reducing insurance payouts to Hurricane Ian survivors. Excellent investigative piece by @bri_sacks and @washingtonpost

Manipulation of flood insurance leads to repeat disasters https://t.co/joHCUNEarf via @HoustonChron with @RobMooreNRDC: "virtually no accountability"

Great win for New Jersey renters and homebuyers.
They'll actually be told about past flood damages and future flood risks! All states should be doing this, but not enough do.

[Tyler Taba @tylertabaWA]

Yesterday, New Jersey officially passed one the nation's strongest flood risk "right to know" laws in the nation!

Big shoutout to all the #Rise2Resilience partners who have championed this legislation - @OurWaterfront, @NewJerseyFuture, @NRDC, @NJLCV, @DelRivCoalition, and more!

The casual viewer of this video might be forgiven for thinking at the start that the speaker is standing in front of the ocean on a rough day. In fact he's in California's landlocked Central Valley.

The President's Economic Report recognizes the need to reform the flood insurance program.
“Now the problem is getting the Federal Emergency Management Administration — and the administration — to fast-track these changes." https://t.co/gaDhM4BRU9 via @grist @zteirstein

[Rob Moore @RobMooreNRDC]

I told @Grist that the report “paints a clear-eyed picture of the challenges we face and the actions that the federal government can take if we are to grapple with the impacts of climate change that are already unavoidable.” https://t.co/gaDhM4BRU9

Developers and realtors want Indiana to stop telling people about flood risk, so they can more easily sell homes in low-lying areas. https://t.co/KW4JgmNpa7

This will take NC from having one of the worst disclosure policies in the nation to one of the best, with respect to how much buyers are told about past flooding and future risks.
