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 youtu.be/WDa-G4RUUsA
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.

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

A monster in the Grand Canyon, The Dragon Bravo Fire.
3% RH… thanks to the subscriber who shared this insane photo of the fire activity this evening.
The current view of the Dragon Bravo Fire in the Grand Canyon. An absolute monster of a column. The Fire’s containment has been reduced to 13% and was last mapped at 44,500 acres, likely to see 50,000 by tomorrow.
The fire area has seen 4 consecutive days of critical Fire weather and continues to grow in the Saddle Mountain Wilderness Area and Milk Drainage with 1 mile+ spotting.
Southwest Team 2 will take command of the fire tomorrow from Southwest Team 4, with total personnel now nearly 1,100 firefighters. Thanks to the subscribers who shared these views of Fire activity today.

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

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.

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

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

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.
