The Real Reason People Move Toward Risk

Описание: Check out our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/cw/PBSWeather...

Some of the fastest-growing metros in the U.S. are also the riskiest when it comes to climate change. And we’ve long puzzled: WHY? In this episode, we explore how the Great Recession, liberal housing policy and well-intentioned community decision-making have fueled our nationwide housing crisis and helped drive people to move into harm’s way.

We’ll dive into new First Street maps that unveil where people will be living - and fleeing - as the climate warms. So stay tuned to see if your home is on the map, and what we can do to build more resilient communities for the future.

Weathered is a show hosted by weather expert Maiya May and produced by Balance Media that helps explain the most common natural disasters, what causes them, how they’re changing, and what we can do to prepare.
