The Economic Impact of the LA Wildfires.
The LA wildfires are among the most devastating natural disasters in recent history, with 12,000 structures lost, 200,000 people displaced, and $275 billion in economic damage. This episode explores the financial toll, from $20 billion in insurance claims to the ripple effects on housing and the global economy. We also provide actionable tips - auditing insurance, building emergency funds, and investing in climate-conscious companies - to help you prepare for an uncertain future. It’s a stark reminder of the cost of climate inaction and a call to build a more sustainable world.
