Climate Risk Analysis: Buncombe County & Asheville 🌧️
We recently conducted an in-depth analysis of Buncombe County, including the City of Asheville, using our advanced climate risk tools.

The findings are alarming:
Over 78,000 people were directly impacted by severe flooding events.
A significant number of structures in the region were affected, highlighting the need for stronger climate resilience measures.

With climate risks on the rise, it’s crucial to invest in disaster response and resilient infrastructure to safeguard communities from future events like these.

Leveraging tools like satellite imagery and real-time data is key to identifying vulnerable populations and planning for the future.
