## Summary

Zillow removed climate risk scores from property listings in November 2024 after California real estate brokers questioned flood model accuracy. A climate policy expert is developing an open-source browser plugin to restore this data for California properties, automatically displaying wildfire risk, flood risk, sea level rise, and extreme heat exposure when users view Zillow listings. The plugin aims to provide publicly available, consistent climate information to help home buyers understand environmental risks.
