The San Bernardino Mountains, once a serene escape for Southern Californians, now face an insurance crisis as climate change exacerbates the risk of severe wildfires and blizzards.
Locals return home post-evacuation not only from wildfires but also memories of last year's deadly snowstorm, highlighting the increasing danger presented by climate conditions.
With underwriters leaving the insurance market due to high disaster risks, many residents are left with only the state’s expensive insurance plan, worsening housing affordability.
Historically a retreat for those seeking tranquility, the San Bernardino Mountains now symbolize a pressing crisis due to climate-induced hazards affecting both landscape and community.
