About First Street
First Street Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to quantifying and communicating climate risk across the United States. By leveraging advanced climate science and engineering methodologies, the foundation provides detailed assessments of various environmental hazards, including flood, wildfire, wind, extreme heat, and air quality. Our mission is to make climate risk accessible, easy to understand, and actionable for individuals, governments, and industries. Through comprehensive data and analysis, First Street Foundation aims to bridge the gap between climate change and financial risk, enabling informed decision-making and proactive risk management. Our hazard models are purpose-built and peer-reviewed. They cover flooding (surge, pluvial, fluvial, tidal), hurricane winds, wildfire (ember flux and flame length), extreme heat, and air quality (ozone and PM2.5).

Orbital Stack
Orbital Stack is an AI and CFD web-based software that provides earlier qualitative guidance, comparing a large number of design options while highlighting any potential wind and thermal comfort red flags. It allows for the realization of a variety of climate-conscious, high-performance developments not previously feasible due to cost and/or time constraints associated with traditional studies.
Orbital Stack is the first digital climate-analysis tool built by global leaders in wind and microclimate engineering using real wind tunnel data. It is truly a game-changer for the architecture and building design sector, offering our clients direct access to wind comfort and safety analysis, thermal comfort and shadowing analysis, and cladding pressure simulations. This means architects can run their own wind simulations and quickly understand the climate impacts of their proposed building designs from the start, making decisions that result in higher performing and more resilient projects.

Moody's Climate on Demand
Moody's Climate on Demand provides foundational insight through rigorous data and analytics that define current and forward-looking location-specific threats to real assets from climate-related event damages and business disruption. It offers global coverage with hazard and impact risk scores, scenario analysis capabilities through 2100, and climate financial impact metrics. The platform evaluates exposure to six key climate hazards: floods, heat stress, hurricanes and typhoons, sea level rise, water stress, and wildfires. Users can assess physical climate risks to individual assets and portfolios, integrating climate risk into property screening, due diligence, impact assessment for climate materiality, and regulatory and disclosure reporting. The tool enables the identification of assets at higher climate risk, monitoring of portfolio exposure, and performance of property investment due diligence with quantified climate risk.
