90% of New Orleans Homes Have Flood Risk

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, discusses a new Realtor.com study revealing that nearly six million U.S. homes, worth $3.4 trillion, face severe or extreme flood risk in the coming decades. The report identifies New Orleans as the most vulnerable city, with 88.9% of its homes at risk due to its low elevation and history of devastating hurricanes like Katrina. McIntyre also notes high risk in Coral Gables and Charleston, underlining the growing urgency of climate resilience in flood-prone areas.
