These recent storms underscore the urgent need for climate action and preparedness. What downstream impacts do you need to measure?

🌧️ Past vs. Present: See the dramatic contrast in precipitation between the average heaviest rainfall of the year (past 30 years) and the atmospheric rivers from earlier this month.

[UrbanFootprint @UFPlatform]

🔮Looking Ahead: Our climate models shed light on areas facing increased threats from future extreme precipitation. With the rise in the average annual 5-day maximum precipitation event, occurrences similar to this month's atmospheric rivers are expected to become more frequent.

February #MapOfTheMonth. This month, Southern California faced an onslaught of extreme precipitation:

- 9.7 trillion gallons of water
- 560+ mudslides
- 1.4 million people lost power
- 4000+ Caltrans workers deployed
- 7+ million sandbags used
- 7 counties declared SOE

💡 This isn't just data. It's actionable intelligence - crucial for insurers, financial guarantors, and anyone who needs to see the full picture of risk through a financial lens.

January #MapOfTheMonth

This month, we're focusing on Jacksonville, one of the fastest-growing cities in the U.S. As we witness a trend of people moving into areas prone to extreme weather, we've taken a deeper dive into the hurricane risk that this booming city faces.

👵🏽 Step 3: Our elderly, as well as those living below the poverty line are at heightened risk. We've pinpointed where high concentrations of these socially vulnerable populations are also living in homes that are also at higher-risk of hurricane winds.

🌍December #MapOfTheMonth. This time, we're diving into the alarming surge of billion-dollar climate disasters. 2023 set a record with 25 such events, up from 22 in 2020 - and the historical average is just 8. 📈

What does this mean for 2024 and beyond?
