In this episode: Albert Slap, President of RiskFootprint, joins Net Zero Compare to discuss why physical climate risk is becoming increasingly important for property owners, investors, lenders, insurers, and businesses with physical assets.
The conversation explores why traditional property due diligence, environmental assessments, and flood-zone maps may not capture the full picture of natural-hazard exposure. Slap explains that understanding risk requires looking beyond regional hazard data to the vulnerability of individual buildings, including factors such as construction type, elevation, drainage, roof strength, building systems, and previous resilience improvements.
