Good morning rural Alabama! Our Disaster Recovery team is on snow watch as winter storm Cora hits the state. Let us know what conditions look like in your area & be careful out there! #ALstormwatch #ALsnowwatch

We were recently featured in an article by @syd_cromwell alongside @HometownAction @PoliticalHealer for our climate protection project that highlights the impact of climate change in rural Alabama. https://t.co/h0ESLnSbou

“I don’t think any community in Alabama is actually fully prepared when disaster strikes, but in rural communities, in particular, there’s far less resources and less robust infrastructure.”

AL has an active fall/winter tornado season. As we prepare to enter the Nov storm season, many rural communities are still recovering from this year's Jan 12 tornadoes. This is why we work with communities to develop long-term plans for preparedness & community resilience.

The season is a changin'. Tornadoes do occur in our part of the country during the cool season! Keep up w/ the 4cast, know your location on a map, and have a safety plan that includes a supplies kit and knowing where your quickest sheltering option is. #SevereWeatherAwarenessDay

Our Disaster Recovery team is excited to be learning more & how we can apply it to our ongoing work in #Alabama's rural communities impacted by climate disasters this year. #ClimateProtection #CPP2023

Almost time! Low-attention #disasters like thunderstorms, hail and drought often don't get as much media. Join us for a #webinar in just a few minutes at 2 p.m. ET to discuss how funders can plan and think about these disasters. https://t.co/CUCNjx64s1

We need people who care about Alabama. We need people who care about their neighbors. We need people like you to sign up and help us build climate protection in our rural communities. It could save someone’s home, someone’s well-being, and even their life. #CPP2023 #Alabama
