Sadly there have been reports of large wildfires in the last 24 hours across western U.S. and Canada. We recently spoke to Aram Shabanian, from the New Lines Institute for Strategy and Policy, about ways to monitor wildfires as an open source researcher or concerned citizen.

Visuals play such an important role in public information and warnings for all kinds of emergencies. Maps, specifically, are a critical visual tool to help the public quickly figure out where they are in relation to a threat. During the 2019-2020 black summer, maps were released showing where a fire would spread on catastrophic days. They were predictions. They were a product not typically used for public consumption but instead operational decision making. Our project is providing a world first evaluation of fire spread prediction map design, dissemination, and communication. With funding from Natural Hazards Research Australia we are working collaboratively - and I mean collaboratively - with fire agencies across Australia and university researchers across QUT (Queensland University of Technology) RMIT University Deakin University and Swinburne University of Technology to deliver utiliasable research findings to change practice and set national doctrine for map use in bushfires. 🔗 See more about the process: https://lnkd.in/gBuXifrU Check out more at the video below, recorded at the AFAC Conference last August. 🔥🚨 Erica Kuligowski Amy Griffin Chloe Begg Timothy Neale @angela gardner @graham Dwyer Nathan Maddock Blythe McLennan National Emergency Management Agency Emergency Media and Public Affairs #riskcommunication #hazards #bushfires #wildfires #communication

Global losses from natural disasters eclipsed the long-term average in the first half of 2024, with thunderstorms causing more damage in the U.S. than hurricanes, wildfires or other catastrophes. An analysis from the reinsurance company Munich Re found that severe thunderstorms in the U.S. caused $45 billion in losses from January to June, $34 billion of which were insured. That makes 2024 the fourth-costliest thunderstorm year on record, based on the first six months. Many of the losses were driven by tornadoes and hail spawned from the storms, the report notes. North America accounted for $60 billion in losses — half of all damages worldwide. Globally, insured losses totaled $62 billion, compared with the 10-year average of $37 billion. #USA #natural #disasters #have #already #increased #significatly #number #claims #in6monhs #of2024
Severe Thunderstorms Do Way More Damage Than People Think

Anyone else suffering from post-conference virtual timezone lag? Grateful for the opportunity to present our recent #sealevelrise research at #EGU24 last week!😀🥱🖥️🌃 This work responds to two common questions being asked by coastal practitioners and policymakers: 1) how high do coastal protections need to be modified to avoid increased coastal flooding? and 2) how frequently would coastal protections be overtopped if left unchanged? Using a joint probability approach for a global tide gauge dataset, we measured recent changes in the heights of high tide exceedance levels, and quantified the individual contributions of MSL, tides, and surges. Stay tuned for the paper coming soon... University of Tasmania | Hannah Power, University of Newcastle

https://lnkd.in/eyNubqbn. This is a great article from the Washington Post (including my a quote from my buddy Rob Young, PhD, PG !) about septic systems, their impacts on coastal communities, and how they’re being dealt with. Definitely worth the read!!
