In recent years, climate change-driven weather disasters have sent homeowners' insurance premiums soaring in the Southeast, which is more likely to face devastating hurricanes. But the insurance crisis has hit hardest in Black neighborhoods that have faced historic discrimination, like redlining, which in turn made them even more vulnerable to climate-driven weather disasters.
