In light of the White House Task Force report on Community-Driven #Relocation, I am re-posting these 13 recommendations on how to improve community and individual relocation policy.
More on my recs: docs.google.com/document/d/1…
WH Report: whitehouse.gov/wp-content/up…
US #ManagedRetreat policies + funding do not meet community needs. Many reforms are needed from Congress + HUD, FEMA, UDSA, USACE. Here are 13 recs I discuss at the @EESIonline briefing w/ @sruffoocean @ProfRobinCraig and Lydia Olander @NichInstitute. 🧵Add your thoughts & recs!

We’re working to improve resilience to extreme weather regardless of language ability. Today we launched weather.gov/translate to host NWS forecasts translated by an AI language model into Spanish and Simplified Chinese with plans to add more. noaa.gov/news-release/noaa-u…

A natural hazard becomes a disaster when it combines with exposure and vulnerability to cause loss of life, hurt, and injury to people, along with economic loss.
In a way or another, disasters are a societal failure. #NoNaturalDisasters | #DRR

What every climate scientist will tell you:
Record-breaking extreme weather events of 2023 are expected at this level of warming.
The impacts on people are more severe than expected.
To keep things from getting worse, we need to stop burning fossil fuels & speed up adaptation.

PREACH!
Warming of overnight lows is a real concern. As 80+ degree nights become more frequent, health effects to our most vulnerable populations will increase as well.
It’s not just the soaring temperatures of day that make heat waves dangerous. High nighttime temperatures add to the stress on human bodies trib.al/0T659S9

Here are the big takeaways from the @IPCC_CH Synthesis Report released today.
First, climate change has already caused widespread and substantial losses to almost every aspect of human life on this planet, and the impacts on future generations depend on the choices we make NOW.
