| Dear Reader, The Conversation exists to keep you accurately informed about our world and the topics that matter to you. No matter where you live, it’s impossible to ignore the headlines about extreme weather – events that are increasingly reaching every corner of the United States – from Hurricane Helene in 2024, to the Los Angeles wildfires and the Texas floods in 2025. After the initial shock of a disaster, when the cameras go away, residents are left facing continuing challenges. The affordability of repairs, availability (or lack) of temporary housing and construction workers, dealing with insurance, and falling home values can all make recovery even harder than it seems. We’re talking with three experts in real estate and natural disasters, Andrew Hoffman, Ryan C. Lewis, and Jesse Keenan, about the ways extreme weather is affecting the cost of homeownership, what climate change has to do with it, and how you can be prepared. We invite you to join us for an insightful conversation with experts in the field on a topic we all need to know more about. What: Extreme Weather: Your Home Value, Your Neighborhood and Your Wallet When: Wednesday, March 4, 11:00 a.m. PT/2:00 p.m. ET Where: Zoom. Please sign up here Who:
