Another great interview with @benkeys.bsky.social about our national homeowners insurance .. situationship 😬🌊🔥🏠 As an insurance researcher + recent LA wildfire survivor, I recommend this listen ✅☑

Really enjoyed talking with @robinsonmeyer.bsky.social and @jessedjenkins.com on the insurance context of the CA wildfires and the likely struggles for insurance affordability and access going forward. Super smart questions led to a deep convo. Thanks for having me @heatmap.news SHIFT KEY!

A heartbreaking aspect of the LA wildfires is the destruction of Altadena, a community where Black families settled after the Great Migration exempt from redlining. The California Community Foundation uses the Social Vulnerability Index to target the needy areas. Lmk if you see other ways to help!

We've been in Pasadena this year on sabbatical leave. Our family + home are safe, but our community has been absolutely devastated. If you're moved to give, here are some vetted relief organizations and GoFundMes from people I know directly in my community. Please RT!
