Bottom Line: Technology is not a solution to climate risk itself, but it is becoming a key factor in reducing the economic drag of rebuilding.
The Case For Mitigation –
The economic case for disaster tech is increasingly strong. The National Institute of Building Sciences has long reported that every $1 invested in mitigation saves up to $13 in avoided recovery costs. Newer disaster tech firms now apply that same logic to speed. Shorter outages mean less business interruption. Faster debris removal means quicker rebuilding. Accelerated claims processing means families and business owners return to stable housing faster, reducing secondary economic shocks. Recovery speed is no longer just a humanitarian metric, it is a financial one.
