In the second of a two
part series with the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton Risk
Center, we take a deep dive on risk and floods and helping
communities find financial resilience as impacts escalate with a
warming climate. Returning to the podcast is Dr. Carolyn
Kousky of the Wharton Risk center who gives context to what
this two-part series is all about. Then joining me is Joe Rossi,
Joe Flood Insurance;
Rob Moore, Director of the Water and
Climate Team at NRDC, the Natural Resources Defense Council,
Josh Lippert, and finally Samantha Medlock,

Crisis in the US Congress. We are going to learn about flooding and
risk with a special emphasis on the mid-Atlantic region and the
City of Brotherly Love, Philadelphia!
