In 2024 alone, the US has faced 24 natural disasters that each caused at least $1 billion in damages. The significant number of these events has increased awareness about #climate resilience and adaptation measures needed to protect communities, infrastructure, and ecosystems.The combined economic toll is immense, highlighting the urgent need for both mitigation strategies and support systems for affected areas. #Climatechange #climatechangeaction #Huricanmilton

Every year the disruption and damage from intensifying storms like Helene and Milton forces community displacement and devastation. As a planner and witness of the heartbreaking aftermath of natural disasters, the need to plan for equitable climate resilience becomes increasingly evident and urgent. Joseph Mendonca and I worked with amazing partners in Fort Pierce, FL over the past year to raise awareness about the impacts that intensifying storms and flooding have on housing affordability, infrastructure, and economic development in their community. Through 1) improved access to federal funding for historically marginalized communities impacted by extreme weather, 2) development of affordable housing that is out of harm's way, and 3) implementation of nature-based solutions, we can begin to be more prepared and protect our residents. Check out our video below to hear from the community, and read more in our blog linked in the comments. https://lnkd.in/ecdNZQPd Canieria Gardner, Sandra Bogan, Rachel Tennant, Vincent Encomio, Oscar Hance

Today, as Kenyans observe National Tree Growing Day, we come together not just to plant trees but to solemnly remember and honor the 238 lives lost and the 235,000 individuals displaced by the recent devastating floods that have swept through our nation in the past four weeks. Let us stand together in #climateaction, pledging to adopt sustainable practices that safeguard our environment and protect our communities. #nationaltreegrowingday

The teachers are themselves affected by conflicts and climate-induced disasters, and yet they have to serve as mentors and caretakers – inspiring their students to develop and reach their full potential. #teachersday2024 #ClimateEducation #ClimateAction

Today, we observe #WorldWaterDay with a vital theme, "Water for Peace", reminding us of the intricate link between water management and maintaining peace amongst communities worldwide. Flooding, the focus of our work at FloodMapp, can create secondary community impacts that disrupt the availability of clean water. By mitigating the risk of flooding and its subsequent impacts, we aim to contribute to a world where communities can live peacefully without the added strain over water resources.

Pictures like this remind us just how quickly our community can be impacted by a natural disaster and how important it is to be familiar with the risks we face everyday. #emergencymanager #businesscontinuity #emergencypreparedness #emergency

Extreme weather is on the rise in the U.S. and around the globe. 🌧️ In Connecticut, a storm that once happened every 100 years now occurs every 20 years. And as we remember the devastating floods in Tennessee three years ago this week, we are reminded that marginalized communities often face the greatest challenges in recovery. Resources, infrastructure, and resilience protections in developing countries are inadequate to meet the demand. At I-DIEM, we are committed to ensuring equity in disaster response.
