Cloud to Street is now Floodbase!
We're excited to announce a new name, a new solution, and our Series A led by @lowercarbon
We're more committed than ever to enabling insurers to underwrite parametric flood insurance, anywhere on Earth: https://t.co/7U5A1Fi4H5
@floodbase flood maps of Helene (which we supported FEMA with for the response- on Bloomberg) Many neighborhoods flooded by Hurricane Helene—and in the path of Milton—are outside the zones where homeowners are required to buy flood insurance https://t.co/T8Jbobmc7j via @climate
Excited to share the newest @floodbase publication- Rapid Inundation Mapping Using the US National Water Model, Satellite Observations, and a Convolutional Neural Network - in Geophysical Research Letters - https://t.co/eGPDgMQFBL led by Jonathan Frame (1/n)

Not to be a doomer but it really looks like we don't have our priorities right as a people. These are the people advancing science which is supposed to mitigate the kind of 'rare' natural disasters that have affected California twice in two years.
We're thrilled to welcome @floodbase as our latest Certified Analytics Partner! Floodbase will be integrating Capella's #SAR data into its advanced parametric #flood#insurance solution to better understand the magnitude and extent of #flood events. https://t.co/BHnz8xbbHu
DEI programs didn't cause Boeing's failure, just like 'wokeness' didn't cause Silicon Valley Bank's collapse last year. The answer you're looking for is the thousands of corporate lobbyists teeming through Congress every day to help deregulate safety standards on behalf of ultra-rich shareholders.
