The LA County Public Works source supports the core explanation: RR2.0 uses updated data and modeling with property-specific factors (including multiple flood perils, proximity to water, building attributes, and cost to reconstruct) and contrasts this with the prior zone/elevation-centric, national-average approach that caused inequities by home value. However, the evidence reviewer incorrectly asserts a FEMA.gov source is included in the excerpts. Also, the researcher departs from the source’s wording (“storm surcharge” vs. “storm surge”) and introduces “replacement cost” rather than the source’s “cost to reconstruct.” Aside from these wording issues, the substantive summary aligns with the provided public-agency source.
