Episode Details

Floods in northern Michigan have exposed a dangerous gap: rural homeowners often lack flood risk maps, leaving them uninsured and unprepared. Outdated FEMA maps, which focus on river overflows and ignore modern rainfall risks, fail to reflect climate change’s growing threat. Stories abound of families misled into thinking they’re safe, only to face devastating floods. New private models reveal far more properties at risk than official data shows, prompting calls for urgent, nationwide updates. This crisis is a stark wake-up call — outdated maps won’t protect you anymore.
