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!
Great conversation at the UD Coastal Resilience Workshop with @ProfJarz about disaster insurance and climate change. Looking forward to more discussions about insurance as #climate adaptation

...MILTON RAPIDLY INTENSIFIES INTO A CATEGORY 5 HURRICANE...
Data from an Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft indicate that Milton has strengthened to a category 5. The max sustained winds are estimated to be 160 mph with higher gusts. Hurricanes.gov/#Milton
So good to hear from Dr. Anthony Fauci this afternoon as a part of the celebration for the 60th Anniversary of the @UDELDRC amazing lessons about the need for transparency and humanity instead of political division
Went for the less depressing side of the coin to build a floating city made necessary by sea level rise #PAXUnplugged
So good to see more attention on environmental racism intersecting with disaster and climate change. I’m so proud of @swccihtx and honored to partner with them in this work #environmentaljustice #emergencymanagement #EMGtwitter

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

I'm RT'ing this for a third time, because everybody ought to see it....From the great James Hansen, @NASA scientist who first alerted Congress to global warming threats in the 1980s.

Literally the exact dangerous idea that started me into disasters. My teacher taught us that couldn’t happen, enter SLC tornado 1999 one week later, kid Logan says I can’t trust these people gotta start learning about these things for myself 🤓
Dawww ☺️ thanks for taking me on even though you were trying to figure out first-year professor life! You’re the best!!!!!
