Pilots that uncover innovative approaches to community insurance take collaboration and determination. The City of Isleton, California is a shining example of this. Situated almost entirely between rivers and sloughs, the town is no stranger to floods. A cross-sectoral group has worked to develop a new approach to flood insurance to provide financial protection to the residents of Isleton. Learn more on how Isleton created a Geological Hazard Abatement District (GHAD) as a structure to purchase community flood insurance. A special thank you to Kathleen Schaefer, Ph.D., P.E., CFM for her dedication to this work and for sharing it with us!
