Works @NRDC on the impacts of climate change, sea level rise, flood risk and disaster policy. Mostly tweeting about the same.

A growing amount of work on #ClimateAdaptation is happening @NRDC -- flooding & sea level rise, drought & water scarcity, and heat & health impacts. Learn more in this short video. Featuring @joelscataNRDC @JMConstible @KwatraSameer https://t.co/rX6gAI0tbf

New blog from my colleague Alfonso Pating @NRDC examines the reliability of homeowners insurance in an era of rapidly rising risks.

The use of a person's credit score to price homeowner's insurance is a major problem. In many states, a person's credit score has a bigger influence on their premium than the physical risk of damage to the home.

States must recognize these warning signs and take the steps to stave off an insurability crisis-in-the-making.

Today @NRDC released "An Uninsurable Country: States must take action to fend off the looming home insurability crisis."

Wondering how the turmoil in state insurance markets came to be -- and what can be done about it?

Read and find out!

This is the root of an "insurability crisis." As risks increase, a growing portion of our built environment is becoming uninsurable. The warning signs include:
- Rising damages
- Rising insurance prices
- Rising #'s of uninsured homes
- Rising enrollment in FAIR Plans

The Super Bowl ad from State Farm may not land well

[NRDC 🌎🏡 @NRDC]

Cute ad campaign. I bet the 72,000 policyholders State Farm dropped in California appreciate the laugh.

A monster in the Grand Canyon, The Dragon Bravo Fire.

[Rob Moore @RobMooreNRDC]

It's quiet out there for now...thank goodness.

The chain of errors that contributed to this tragedy is maddening.

Thousands of people have weighed in with the administration.

98% of public comments were in favor of keeping FEMA, contrary to the administration's ongoing narrative to eliminate the agency.

See a summary of comments submitted up until the afternoon of Monday, May 12

[Rob Moore @RobMooreNRDC]

Today @NRDC filed comments with the administration, detailing how their actions have unraveled the nation's disaster safety net and set back climate resilience efforts @FEMA and so many other agencies.

Their actions are degrading federal emergency management capacity, and state and local gov'ts.

[Rob Moore @RobMooreNRDC]

Make your voice heard. Submit your comments before midnight tonight and tell the administration to stop slashing the nation's disaster safety net.

[Daniel A. Zarrilli, PE @dzarrilli]

Acting head of FEMA rightly says “I do not believe it is in the best interest of the American people to eliminate the Federal Emergency Management Agency" and is promptly fired.

1st to dismiss over 2,000 staff and in less than 3 months

1st subjected to polygraph!!

[Rob Moore @RobMooreNRDC]

The Trump administration fired Cameron Hamilton, who had some notable achievements during his tenure.
