Would you know what to do to keep your family and neighbors safe if you receive an emergency warning for extreme heat or flooding? ???? If you don't know, you are not alone. Flash floods can quickly overwhelm even the places we expect to be safe and dry. For communities that already struggle with limited public transportation and lack of access to healthy food, these are an even greater risk. For public policy to do better, the first step is knowing better. The #Resilience4Communities program is listening to residents in Boston, Houston, Greater Manchester and Melaka to understand what they know, think and believe about their community’s risks and their strengths. Through a process of co-designing and prioritizing resilience projects, the R4C program is on a mission to amplify their voices and work with local governments to implement solutions. #NewVoiceinResilience

??? Hurricanes Helene and Milton remind us: preparedness is everything. The storms struck Florida on October 9, causing fatalities, severe damage, and leaving millions without power or essential services. As residents face anxiety, fear, and uncertainty, experts warn these effects may linger. While hurricanes can't be prevented, communities can prepare by strengthening infrastructure and emergency protocols to minimize damage and speed up recovery efforts.? At EIS Council, we focus on building resilience through education, training, and awareness, so communities can recover faster and stronger and withstand such tragic events. #DisasterPreparedness #Resilience #ClimateResilience

Extreme heat causes more deaths than any other weather-related disasters—according to the CDC, at least 2,200 people died from extreme heat in 2023, though experts argue that the real numbers are likely to be considerably higher. Because heat-related deaths are severely undercounted, true disaster impacts are essentially invisible to policy makers. FEMA is main federal disaster response agency, but it does not respond to heat waves like it does hurricanes. A coalition of environmental justice groups, labor unions, and health professionals recently petitioned the agency to add extreme heat and wildfire smoke to the disasters and to consider additional factors when determining whether an event should be classified as an emergency. #extremeheat https://ow.ly/NYNA50SA8Gl
