High Flood and Hurricane Scores Recorded For Municipal Bond Offerings This Week
Aug 18, 2025 6:22 AM

08:58 AM EDT, 08/18/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Multiple municipal bond offerings this week have a high exposure to climate risk, specifically high Flood and Hurricane Scores, according to ICE Climate Data.

A $6 million offering from Winthrop, Mass., records a Flood Score of 4.9 out of 5.0, ICE reports. Locations with a component Physical Climate Risk Score, which includes Flood, Wildfire and Hurricane, of 3.0 or higher out of 5.0 indicate high physical climate risk due to hurricane, flooding or wildfire events.

A $29 million bond deal from Riverhead Central School District, N.Y., has a Flood Score of 4.2 out of 5.0 on ICE's scale, while a $82 million tranche from Corpus Christi, Texas, records a Hurricane Score of 3.5.

Elsewhere, a $147 million offering from Port Arthur Independent School District, Texas, records a total Climate Risk Score of 4.4, and a $10 million deal from Harris County MUD No. 559, Texas, has a total Climate Risk Score of 3.7, due to their proximity to weather-related events, according to ICE Climate Data.
