Description

As climate change increases the chance of wildfires, floods, and droughts, individuals are unsure if or when these catastrophic events will reach them. First Street Foundation is on a mission to uncover actionable climate data to deliver peace of mind and to help individuals understand their own home’s climate risk through the power of shared data and knowledge. First Street Foundation is a research and technology nonprofit building on Amazon Web Services (AWS) to create a suite of scalable and flexible tools called Risk Factor. These tools include flood factor, heat factor, and fire factor to help understand the individual risk of a property. To learn more, the Fix This team chatted with Matthew Eby, chief executive officer, and Dr. Ed Kearns, chief data officer at First Street Foundation. Matthew and Ed discuss how the Risk Factor suite can empower individuals to understand their potential home’s future climate risk.
