Collectively, 71% of Americans say their community has experienced at least one of the forms of extreme weather, including floods or intense storms (43%), long periods of unusually hot weather (42%), droughts or water shortages (31%), major wildfires (21%) and rising sea levels (16%). Since 2019, there have been 65 weather and climate disasters - including nine so far this year - that have each caused at least $1 billion in damages.
