To fill the gap in insurance due to climate risk events, agile, scalable, and innovative companies are stepping in.

In the US, climate risk events are occurring more frequently in places where development was once deemed safe but now is larger than initially anticipated. Insurance is one of the non-environmental systems that enables us to live our daily lives with the knowledge that our property is protected. Up until recently, most people weren’t concerned with how their ability to be insured would change — until catastrophic climate disasters began to wreak havoc on communities around the country.

Hurricanes are incredibly costly: Hurricane Ian caused $113 billion in damage. To fill the gap in insurance, agile, scalable, and innovative companies are stepping in.
