⚡ The Signal
The climate disaster bill is coming due. Even without major hurricanes, the U.S. racked up over $100 billion in disaster costs last year, much of it driven by increasingly ferocious wildfires. But the real story isn't the fire; it's the invisible fallout that comes after the smoke clears.
🚧 The Problem
After a wildfire, the most dangerous threat isn't always visible. Microscopic ash and toxic compounds settle deep inside homes, contaminating everything from drywall to ductwork. Homeowners assume their insurance will cover it. They are wrong.
There are no federal or state standards for what constitutes a "clean" home after a fire. This regulatory void creates a nightmare scenario where insurance companies, lacking any clear guidelines, can deny claims, leaving families to unknowingly move back into toxic houses. The recovery process becomes a brutal battle of one person's word against a corporation's, a fight shaped by red tape and the size of your bank account.
