Natural disasters like #coastalflooding, heat waves, and #hurricanes are just a few of the issues that can affect military families and military installations that are on or near coastlines. So how can #military communities protect themselves and the surrounding animal life?

Today marks the anniversary of the tragic disaster of the S.S. Morro Castle on September 8, 1934. A fire aboard the passenger ship claimed the lives of 137 people, forever altering the course of maritime safety. As we remember those lost, we also honor the lessons learned and the reforms that were put in place to prevent such tragedies from happening again. This day serves as a somber reminder of the fragility of life and the importance of vigilance and safety, not only in maritime industries but in all aspects of life. https://lnkd.in/eAARe4cP

⚓ Tragedy at Sea: HMNZS Manawanui Sinks Near Samoa ⚓ On October 6, 2024, the New Zealand Navy vessel HMNZS Manawanui tragically sank after running aground on a reef off the southern coast of Upolu, Samoa.

Why diversity matters inside newsrooms: Most news outlets that picked up this story echoed a narrative painted in the U.S. Coast Guard statement (one that anonymizes mariner ethnicity and swells with savior complex). There's harm when advancing narratives like these, whose use continues to normalize the rhetoric of colonization. After all, there's another telling of this story that might center and celebrate the grit and ingenuity of the mariners. This particular telling of the story, by CNN, highlights that rescue efforts were facilitated by a Micronesian petty officer speaking to the mariners in their own language (8 languages are spoken in the FSM). Does this mean the mariners wrote the message that led to their rescue in a language they don't typically use? How did your go-to news outlet cover this story? Did they get it right?
