Resilience to Nature's Challenges’ Post

👷♀️ In honor of National Safety Month, let us learn about the safety risks that threaten residents of assisted housing. ⛈️ PAHRC and the NLIHC's 2023 report, "Natural Hazards and Federally Assisted Housing," examines the risks that residents of federally assisted housing face from increasing natural disasters and climate events. 📊 The report's analysis shows that almost 1 in 4 federally assisted homes are in areas at the greatest risk for negative impacts from natural hazards, highlighting the need for increased safety measures. 👉 Ready to take the first step towards improving safety against natural hazards?

☀ 😰 Can’t take the heat? You shouldn’t have to! Extreme heat causes more deaths in the US than hurricanes, floods, and tornados combined, according to the CDC. Thankfully, there are environmental and infrastructure solutions that can help. https://lnkd.in/ggzCcTwh In part two of our blog series on public health, Environmental Compliance & Sustainability Intern Ellie Johnson and Emergency Management Intern Brooke Lovett discuss the impacts and risks of heatwaves and what governments, corporations, and individuals can do to cool off. What are you doing to protect yourself, your community, and/or your employees from the dangers of heatwaves? Let us know in the comments. #Heatwave #PublicHealth #EnvironmentalSolutions #Sustainability #ResilientCommunities #InPursuitOfBetter

In light of the projections about rising sea levels threatening Florida’s coastlines, are you and your property prepared for what climate change may bring? 🌊🏡 Recent discussions underscore the urgency for Florida homeowners to be proactive in guarding against water damage, reportedly with parts of the state predicted to face the specter of submersion by 2100. With NOAA's 2022 sea-level rise report suggesting a potential increase of up to 7 feet, the questions aren't merely hypothetical. They demand attention and action: - 🛡️ Have you assessed the structural integrity of your premises? - 💦 Are your water damage prevention systems updated and operational? - 🚨 Do you have a solid emergency plan in place?

I’m thrilled to share this blog post I got to co-author with Brooke Lovett. Our blog discusses the critical issue of heatwaves, offering practical tips for individuals to mitigate their heat risks and advocating for necessary governmental actions. Dive into our insights and join the conversation on how we can all stay safe and cool:

In the U.S., the dominant approach to #firemanagement is defined by a transactional relationship, in which humans interact with fire through policy planning and management based on the assumptions that #fire causes a loss of life and property, has negative health effects, and is expensive to battle. A more desirable future perspective is more holistic, basing fire #policy and management on a larger suite of considerations, including the ecosystem services provided by fire and the social, economic, and political values of these services. This more holistic view would facilitate a move away from fire suppression and exclusion as the dominant fire management approach and instead provide the resources and practices to implement fire management activities that increase ecosystem resilience.

Early Warning Systems (EWS) can significantly reduce damage from natural disasters by 30% through timely alerts. Despite their proven effectiveness, global coverage remains limited, with significant disparities between countries. The UN's EW4All initiative aims for global EWS coverage by 2027, highlighting the importance of multi-hazard warning systems that provide a tenfold return on investment. Effective EWS must detect various threats, deliver actionable messages, and prioritize a people-centric approach to ensure timely and appropriate responses to minimize harm. The initiative focuses on enhancing data use in critical sectors like health and prioritizes the world's most vulnerable countries. #EWS #ExtremeWeather #NaturalDisaster #EarlyWarning #UN
