March 11, 2024 /3BL/ - Ceres commends the U.S. Department of the Treasury for its new effort with state insurance regulators and the [National Association of Insurance Commissioners](https://content.naic.org/industry/data-call/property-ho.htm) to collect crucial climate risk data from homeowners at the zip code level.

> “This collaborative effort aims to understand the potential for major disruptions in home insurance coverage due to climate-related financial risk,” said **Steven M. Rothstein, managing director, Ceres Accelerator for Sustainable Capital Markets**. “This is a time when the country, and the insurance industry, is facing historic loss due to extreme weather and natural disasters. We need comparable, consistent national information more than ever before. We applaud this new effort, as there has never been a time when this information about homeowner insurance would be more important and urgent.”

Ceres has consistently advocated for such a data call, as detailed in our recent [commentary submission](https://www.ceres.org/sites/default/files/Ceres%20Comments_FIO%20Climate%20Related%20Financial%20Risk%20Data%20Collection_88%20FR%2075380.pdf) to the Federal Insurance Office.

The U.S. faces $165 billion annually in damages due to extreme weather disasters, which are occurring more frequently and with greater intensity. On average, according to NOAA, a disaster occurs every [18 days](https://www.climatecentral.org/climate-matters/billion-dollar-disasters-in-2022?lang=en), up from one every 4 months 20 years ago.

The [National Association of Insurance Commissioners](https://content.naic.org/industry/data-call/property-ho.htm) has agreed to provide the data to the Federal Insurance Office of the Treasury Department by September 2024**.**
