Extreme Weather Explained: The Cost of Insuring a Warming World

Across the country, extreme weather is putting enormous pressure on the insurance system.  To help us understand what's driving the crisis and how we can respond, we're excited to welcome Yvette Martinez to the final episode of our Extreme Weather Explained series. Yvette works with Extreme Weather Survivors, serving as the campaign director and senior advisor for the Affordable Insurance Now Coalition. We'll talk about the growing insurance crisis, efforts to protect homeowners and hold polluters accountable, and how health professionals can show up for their communities.
