Hi,

A blog post from the White House titled "Getting smart about how we finance
disaster resilience
<https://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2016/08/03/getting-smart-about-how-we-finance-disaster-resilience>"
might be of interest to all.

An excerpt from the blog:

*To advance disaster resilience and mitigation efforts, government and
private-sector organizations are developing innovative financing mechanisms
that reduce consumer costs and incentivize pre-disaster mitigation
activities.  That’s why, today, the White House hosted a Forum on Smart
Finance for Disaster Resilience to highlight innovations in disaster
mitigation and resilience finance, including emerging public-private
collaborations with banking, insurance, and financial services sectors.
These financial innovations are empowering communities across the country
to mitigate against the current and future impacts of climate change,
including wildfire, drought, extreme storms, and hurricanes.  *
