Good news: @GovEvers announced the creation of the Office of Environmental Justice, supported by a Chief Resilience Officer, noting resilience efforts as key to disaster preparedness—particularly looking to helping the state's most vulnerable communities. pew.org/37G499e

Shoutout to the airlines for adding another layer of risk assessment to my life. Because being immunocompromised with a pregnant wife and unvaccinated under-5 kids wasn't quite complex enough.

For decades, the National Flood Insurance Program has used an outdated approach when calculating premiums for policyholders. Fortunately, Risk Rating 2.0 represents a modern, data-based approach to setting flood insurance rates that better accounts for risk.

@pewtrusts @lbodss Hi Ms. Lightbody. Read your FEMA Risk 2.0 article. I understand that this model is a geospatial improvement over the previous matrix (refinement w/in flood zone) but there is no accounting for social vulnerability in the calculus, is there? Beyond the implications of house price.

On Oct. 1, FEMA's new flood risk rating system takes effect—a transformational shift in flood insurance. "The old system essentially had a bias against lower value homes," our @lbodss tells @aefeldman "Those are likely the ones who have been overpaying." ow.ly/b1XX50G87BL

A great complement to state resilience planning would be the bipartisan Natl Climate Adaptation & Resilience Strategy Act led by Sens Coons, Murkowski/Reps Scott Peters, Salazar. Would create national CRO & national adaptation strategy @CForbesTompkins #ReadyForResilience

“We can’t stop the rain from coming; we can’t build levees everywhere.” New solutions are needed as flooding increases across the U.S. This Tennessee community’s use of nature-based solutions to address flooding can be a model for other towns at risk. pew.org/2SYvxIk
