The Rising Challenge
In an era where climate unpredictability is the new normal, understanding the flood risk has never been more critical. Traditional data sources have fallen behind, leaving solar developers exposed to unforeseen challenges:
Changing Climate, Rising Risks
What was once rare is now frequent. The 1-in-100-year flood events are occurring every 5 to 10 years in much of the country, drastically altering the landscape of risk.
Underestimated Exposure
Government data fails to capture half the country’s flood risk and does not account for climate change, leaving you exposed to unnecessary risk.
Financial Implications
Basing your development on outdated flood models can cause site downtime and cost millions of dollars.
