(NewsNation)—A recent Redfin study found 32% of surveyed Americans aged 18-34 are reconsidering where they live due to damage caused by Hurricane Helene in the Southeast.

While there will always be some who are unconcerned about living in states with more frequent national disasters, there are ways to make informed decisions about the risks associated with your area.

“There are risk scores that you can look up there on websites like redfin.com where you can see for any property what the flood, fire, heat risk or air quality risk is, and that can help you understand things,” Daryl Fairweather, chief economist at Redfin, told “Morning in America with Hena Doba.”

“Not everything is in your control. Things that happen at a city level or municipal level matter, too, but at least you’ll know what you’re in for in terms of the investments you can make for your home,” Fairweather said.

There are risks no matter where an individual lives in the U.S., according to Fairweather.

“We all have to live somewhere, and no matter where you choose, there’s going to be a changing climate, so understanding those risks is the first step, and then just picking which disaster you’d rather deal with,” she said.

“Would you rather go through a blizzard in the Midwest or a heat wave in the South? And then you can harden your home or decide maybe ownership isn’t right for you, you’d rather rent so you’re not taking on that risk so much yourself,” Fairweather said. “All of that can be decided if you just understand the risks and do your research.”
