Increasingly, Americans are struggling to deal with extreme weather disasters. Millions of people have lost electricity. Many people are injured or ill. And homes are destroyed by floods and storms, and severely damaged by the consequences of wind, water and mold.
After the floods have subsided, I would like to look at the long-term costs and consequences of climate disasters and tell this story what is happening. And one of the powerful ways to do that is to look at people’s invoices and other documents detailing what they experienced.
If you would like to share your experience with New York Times reporters, please use the form below to let us know the costs associated with floods and hurricanes. We are particularly interested in hearing from the people who navigate.
-
Home repair costs.
-
Medical bills.
-
Insurance claims for floods and car repairs.
-
Government disaster relief form.
-
Borrow forgiveness.
-
Mold-related invoices, insurance claims or denials.
In addition to using your experience to tell our story, we hope to connect with you later, perhaps through email updates and online gatherings.
The Times will not share your information outside of our reporting team and will not publish any part of your submission without first contacting you. The reporter will contact you for more information. If you want to use a means of communication designed to protect your anonymity, you can do so at nytimes.com/tips.
