From Disaster to Blueprint: How Greenline's Model Could Transform Post-Fire Recovery

Investing to Minimize Flooding and Protect Critical Water Resources: A Case Study from Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District

Historically, strong federal environmental regulations drove government action to manage water resources -- that’s changing as more communities experience flooding and see the benefits of nature-based solutions to mitigate those impacts.

The Epicenter’s Insurance page offers insights and ideas on how leaders can manage climate risk and preserve insurability, with resilience and adaptation strategies that can protect their business and community interests.

This site is about “insurability” more than “insurance.” These curated resources and ideas seek to examine the full spectrum of risk-relevant decisions that accumulate at the insurance pricing stage. We aim to demystify how to work with the insurance sector by providing real-world examples and links to key sites–going beyond sponsorships and joint reports in favor of highlighting “radical collaboration” as the path to scaled impact.

Whether you are a community leader searching for new risk assessment tools, a philanthropist seeking new opportunities to have significant community impact, or an insurance intrapreneur spreading the word on what more can be done, The Epicenter is here to help you navigate the journey.
