What weather-risk evidence would you ask for before buying?

India’s latest climate assessment documents frequent extreme weather across the country. For a homebuyer, the harder question is much more local: what could happen at this property?

The companion InSights article separates regional hazards from a building’s exposure and weaknesses. It also examines disruption beyond the front door, including access roads and essential shared services.

We would like to hear your perspective:

1. What evidence would you request about a property’s past weather-related disruption?
2. If remedial work had been completed, what would convince you that it addressed the original problem?
3. Have access or shared-service failures affected your home even when the dwelling itself remained undamaged?

Please distinguish documented incidents from assumptions and avoid sharing private addresses or ownership records.

Comment in this thread with your reasoning, practical experience or an unanswered question. Relevant counter-evidence and different views are welcome.
