    Yes. The low ball estimates for just hurricane Helene is 100% FEMA’s annual funding for the next eleven years. That’s how destructive these disasters are.

    We’re still paying for the 2013 Colorado flooding, the 2017 California wildfire, and 2022 Hurricane Ian, just to name a few.

    People are completely missing how much climate change is truly costing us. Helene will be something we’re paying for easily for the next twenty years if not longer. $20B is not a lot of cash when compared to these events, not by a long shot.
