McKinsey Report

First Street Foundation is pleased to announce its participation in McKinsey Global Institute’s latest report on climate risk and response: physical hazards and socioeconomic impacts. The report poses the question: Will mortgages and markets stay afloat in Florida?

The First National Flood Risk Assessment

A new national report from the First Street Foundation provides a comprehensive national analysis of the state of flood risk in the continental U.S. The findings are the result of the First Street Foundation’s new Flood Model, a high precision, climate adjusted model that assesses flood risk at the individual property level today and into the future.

New Data Disclosing Flood Risk of Every US Home

The nonprofit research and technology group First Street Foundation has publicly released flood risk data for more than 142 million homes and properties across the country. The data, based on decades of peer-reviewed research, assigns every property in the contiguous United States a “Flood Factor™,” or score from 1 to 10, based on its cumulative risk of flooding over a thirty-year mortgage.
