The Climate-Proof Home

Insurance premiums are doubling. Flood maps are being redrawn. Homes that were safe investments a decade ago now sit in wildfire corridors, flood plains, or heat islands that insurers are quietly abandoning. The question is no longer whether climate change affects homeownership. It is whether your home is ready.

The Climate-Proof Home is a practical, region-by-region guide for homeowners who want to protect their property, their equity, and their families. Sam K. Jones cuts through the politics to focus on what you can actually do: assessing your specific climate risks, prioritizing resilience upgrades by cost and impact, navigating the shifting insurance landscape, understanding how climate disclosure laws affect property values, and making smart decisions about whether to fortify, retrofit, or relocate.

This is not a book about saving the planet. It is a book about saving your largest financial asset. Every recommendation is practical, prioritized by budget, and grounded in data from real climate events.
