and promote effective actions that strengthen homes,
businesses and communities against natural disasters
and other causes of loss.

2017 Atlantic Hurricane Season
• Harvey, Irma and Maria collectively affected 10 states and 5 U.S. territories ≈ 8 percent of U.S. population
• ≥ $200 B in losses, ≈ 30% insured
• Flood losses huge, but many uninsured
• FL building codes credited with reducing damage and disruption
• Lack of power one of biggest barriers to recovery

October 2017 California Wildfires
• 43 fatalities, ≥ $10 B in insured property losses, ≈ 5,000 homes destroyed = worst in U.S. history
• High winds caused ember spread to urban areas = widespread destruction of neighborhoods
• State housing crisis complicates recovery for homes, businesses and communities

• Political gridlock (especially in Congress) prevents even consensus legislation from advancing
• Budget rules and short-term outlooks prevent spending $ today to save $$$$ in the future and value post-disaster aid over pre-disaster mitigation
• Pre- and post-disaster aid processes are inefficient
• It is politically easier to suppress insurance rates than reduce property risk
• Home builders and realtors are more directly politically engaged than insurers and mitigation allies
Political Challenges
![Page 19: Hidden in Plain Sight? Why Resilient Buildings Are ... · • Founded in 1984 by a bipartisan Congressional caucus. • Now an independent, bipartisan nonprofit with no Congressional](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081407/5f1ff30a84b05904e604a9df/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Moving Forward
• Leaders can galvanize public attitudes toward property risk
• Clear, consistent messages needed for public education
• We must understand benefits/risks of new technologies
• Relationship between natural and built environment influences risk
• Focus on “no regrets” strategies for mitigation and insurance
