The federal government spent at least $136 billion on disaster relief between 2011 and 2013, according to a new report. That includes $55 billion on general relief and flood insurance, and $27 billion on crop insurance related to droughts. Extreme weather events now cost the U.S. an average of $80 billion a year—about $400 per U.S. household.
