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

We’re working to improve resilience to extreme weather regardless of language ability. Today we launched https://t.co/Fxq9a5SEz3 to host NWS forecasts translated by an AI language model into Spanish and Simplified Chinese with plans to add more. https://t.co/yti1jmy6jO

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.

Sobering imagery of Hurricane #Idalia making devastating landfall as a major hurricane on the Big Bend of Florida.
