Apr 7, 2025 6:15 AM

08:57 AM EDT, 04/07/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Multiple municipal bond offerings this week have a high exposure to climate risk, specifically high Wildfire and Flood Scores, according to ICE Climate Data.

A $13 million offering from Columbia Gorge Community College District, Ore., records a Wildfire Score of 3.8 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 $16 million bond deal from Herriman, Utah, has a Wildfire Score of 3.6 out of 5.0 on ICE's scale, while a $161 million tranche from Charleston County School District, S.C., records a Flood Score of 4.7.

Elsewhere, a $65 million offering from Manatee County, Fla., records a total Climate Risk Score of 3.8, and a $15 million deal from Westwood Management District, Texas, has a total Climate Risk Score of 3.5 due to their proximity to weather-related events, according to ICE Climate Data.
