Insuring Your Neighbor: Narrows, VA on the Journey to Insurability.

We have been invited to participate in Asheville’s Neighborhood Economics Conference!

Like Swannanoa, the town of Narrows, VA, faced severe flooding when Helene hit the region, causing one of their three rivers to rise to levels not seen since the 1940s. Despite their resilience, they remain highly susceptible to riverine flooding.

Narrows is working with InnSure to understand their Total Cost of Risk and explore creative ways to fund a major resilience project focused on their Water Treatment Facility, which was severely compromised and remains at risk today.

On our panel, we will explore: 

• How RISE Resilience—an entrepreneurial incubator helping resilience solutions develop and grow—has helped fund over 40+ startups, including InnSure, which is working directly with Narrows. 

• InnSure will share how their program is helping Narrows and communities nationwide rethink insurance and regain control of their insurability future. 🌱

This conversation will provide valuable insights into how innovative insurance solutions are empowering communities to build resilience against climate risks and safeguard critical infrastructure.
