AI Summary

States most exposed to climate‑related health damage are also the least prepared to protect residents, according to CleanTechnica. Across the United States, intensifying extreme weather is driving rising public‑health harms and economic losses. Notable events include Texas’s 2025 inland flooding, which killed 134 people and damaged $1 billion in residential property; Southern California’s 2025 wildfires that destroyed over 10,000 buildings, cost $63 billion, and generated more than 8,000 health‑care visits; and Hurricane Milton’s 2024 Florida landfall, which killed 32 people and caused $34 billion in property damage. With federal climate leadership receding, state governments are increasingly seeking to boost preparedness and resiliency to curb future costs and health impacts.
