Flooding from severe storms recently ravaged towns across Kentucky. Wildfires wreaked havoc on numerous communities in Los Angeles. Late last year, flooding from Hurricane Helene devastated urban and rural communities in North Carolina and Tennessee. And last week, North and South Carolina both declared a state of emergency due to massive wildfires. These are just a few examples from a well-documented pattern — severe weather events and other natural disasters are happening with greater frequency and impact in recent years. In 2024 alone, there were 27 severe weather/climate disasters across the U.S. that exceeded $1 billion each in damages and losses. In 2024, these events claimed nearly 600 lives and caused total damages amounting to almost $183 billion.
