DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe author, a self-described "real estate nerd", has taken on an ambitious topic -the impact that natural disasters have on coastal real estate communities, and how to identify steps that can be taken to lessen potential future risks. By including personal anecdotes, case studies, and top-notch research, from both primary and secondary sources, he has created a work that is compelling and insightful, albeit alarming. He includes commentary from a broad range of industry experts (including a delightfully cloak and dagger source commenting on the NFIP), and presents thoughtful short and long-term approaches, convincing the reader of the importance of considering risk-mitigating initiatives in all future development projects. A must-read for anyone interested in the future of real estate, changing coastlines and weather patterns, and the countless numbers of us who can't exist without the sea in our backyards. The book provides an in-depth analysis of natural disasters in coastal real estate communities. In this book, he asks the terrifying question--How will natural disasters continue to impact coastal real estate? He brings together the perspectives of real estate industry experts, members of FEMA's disaster response team and the National Flood Insurance Program, insurance companies, and the world's leading nonprofits to come up with a comprehensive response strategy. By analyzing past natural disaster preparation and response tactics, the book is able to provide the strategic and proactive measures necessary to ensure the safety and longevity of our cherished coastal cities.
