Why We Trust Our Science
All property Climate Factor scores are derived from comprehensive data analysis and scientific modeling that takes into account various factors such as historical flood data, rainfall, elevation, and proximity to water bodies. This information is processed through advanced algorithms designed to provide a clear assessment of flood risk, wildfire risk, wind risk, heat risk, and air quality risk at a specific location.
Our commitment to accuracy is rooted in the reliability of our scientific approach. We continuously update and refine our models to ensure that the First Street Factor scores reflect the latest available data and technological advancements in climate-risk risk assessment.
Our Dispute Policy
We acknowledge that homeowners and realtors may occasionally have concerns or questions about their Climate Factor scores.
As a rule, we do not update Factor scores based on individual requests or disputes. Our scores are based on rigorous scientific analysis and are intended to provide an objective assessment of climate risk. We believe in the accuracy of our data and the reliability of our methodologies.
If you contact customer support regarding a score dispute you should not expect a personalized response.
The exception to this is if you can provide a FEMA LOMA letter or BFE or if the building was constructed in the last year and does not year appear on our maps.
