The irony: some states ban the word climate even as their insurance markets collapse from it. The fix isn’t politics — it’s resilience.

Invest in partnerships.
FEMA, DOE, and HUD can help fund resilient infrastructure — microgrids, levees, storm-ready housing. Shared investment lowers long-term exposure and premiums.

Let insurers price mitigation, not just exposure. When homeowners invest in resilience, rates should reflect it. Smarter regulation = more stable markets.

• Modernize regulation. Allow insurers to recognize and price risk mitigation, not just raw exposure. Expand “last-chance” insurers — but make sure they model climate risk realistically and transparently.
INCENTIVIZE RESILIENCE: You’ve read about it: from California to Florida, Louisiana to the Pacific Northwest, insurance has become so expensive many in high-risk areas are going without. Premiums have doubled or tripled. In some regions, major carriers have pulled out after losing loads of money.
How States Can Keep Insurance Affordable in a Warming World
