How well do markets price information about climate risk? We study this question in the context of flood risk and the US real estate mkt, in a new paper led by the awesome Miyuki Hino (not on twitter). Paper plus short thread pnas.org/content/118/17/e200…

“The methodologies that the current insurance rates are based on… don’t really consider what’s going forward with climate change,” @FirstStreetFdn's @edward_j_kearns says. “We’re all waiting to see what kind of reform FEMA will bring, and we’re very supportive of that reform.”

As climate reporters, @rhersher @ryanjamescliff and I keep finding ourselves standing with people in the wreckage of their destroyed homes. Many had no idea they were at risk of floods or wildfires. Because few states require disclosing that risk. 1/ npr.org/2020/10/18/918725965…

It's fantastic to see @realtordotcom incorporating Flood Factor's flood scores to its property listings - a big step to democratising the understanding of flood risk across the US underpinned by Fathom’s new US hazard data #floodrisk #flooding lnkd.in/diQbVJR

It's fantastic to see Flood Factor listed as one of the top #climatechange reports released this year. We're proud that Fathom's science is powering the tool that now makes it possible for anyone in the US to instantly see the flood risk for their property yaleclimateconnections.org/2…

Been playing around a bit with floodfactor.com/ (h/t @MappyMark for finding it). It's a lot of fun (and quite scary) to poke around. This is near where I grew up--the square floods ~once every other year, the circle floods ~annually. Neither show up on FEMA's model.

A great example of @FirstStreetFdn leveraging #opendata from @NOAA @USGS @fema to develop #floodrisk products free to the public
