Abstract
The article discusses the continuous purchase of houses at risk of fire and flood by U.S. citizens. It relates, as an example, the case of Anna Zimmerman whose house located in South Carolina had been affected by flooding in 2015. It reveals how people and mortgage companies still express their interest in the property despite knowing of its flood risk. It also mentions the fact that homes vulnerable to flooding, wildfires and storms will be more exposed as the effects of climate change worsen.
