Resources from Siders that will help in reporting on disasters and solutions:National Institute of Building Sciences study on mitigation saving $6 for every $1 spent; saving lives, making jobs, etc.- https://www.nibs.org/page/mitigationsavesNatural Resources Defense Council map of states that do not disclose flood risk- https://www.nrdc.org/flood-disclosure-map -GAO report that buyouts are major source of risk reduction but US is adding more repetitive flood loss properties than we are mitigating- https://www.gao.gov/products/GAO-20-509Proposal to create a FEMA disaster deductible that would create more incentive for local actionhttps://www.fema.gov/media-library-data/1489005227353-55712e7eb2c87a85308df4f59e043015/FEMADeductibleSANPRM.pdf

Much more on Siders’ and Monica’s themes will be explored June 2021 at Columbia’s second (online this time) Managed Retreat meeting - Abstracts accepted through Jan. 15. Big focus on community-centered work and equity. Building the “managed retreat” concept from coasts to heat zones to fire risk and more: https://adaptation.ei.columbia.edu/content/2021-conference-homepage

Andy Revkinhttps://sustcomm.ei.columbia.edu/

I think Notre Dame has an interactive site that approaches what Andy is talking about.

And Enterprise Community Partners has this tool for owners and operators of affordable housing that looks at risks to a community: https://www.enterprisecommunity.org/solutions-and-innovation/disaster-recovery-and-rebuilding/portfolio-protect

Here is here is a new book I coedited on:Evaluating Climate Change Impactshttps://www. routledge.com/Evaluating- Climate-Change-Impacts/ Lyubchich-Gel-Kilbourne- Miller-Newlands-Smith/p/book/ 9780815392378

A huge story is the scale challenge in disaster impact/recovery work with an #expandingbullseye being built. Who’s there to help thousands of communities become “adaptive”? Susi Moser’s doing great work on this: https://twitter.com/Revkin/status/1284890665428701186/photo/1

The Disaster Flashpoint - Colleen Hagerty is another great resource and example of long-term recovery reporting. https://readfenix.com/the-disaster-flashpoint/

Happy to follow up with all here. Here’s the #climaterisk frame: ‘Stories that matter start with #climateRISK. What raises or lowers it- for whom. This pinpoints accountability & solutions far better than stories starting with #climateCHANGE, which is just one driver of risk. #ClimateJustice, e.g., is all about uneven risk. A relevant slide.’ https://twitter.com/Revkin/status/1321881012259950594. Steve Strader and Walker Ashley’s “Expanding Bull’s Eye” work is fantastic - here’s a string including NC Florence mapping: https://bit.ly/bullseyetweets

enlacelatino.org is mostly in spanish, but all of my work is bilingual. here’s the direct link to the ongoing series: https://enlacelatinonc.org/category/ignored-and-forgotten/#.X9JyqelKgdU

And mapping!! Here’s a great portal for wildfire risk data. Mapping, including showing exposure over time, is critical to community awareness and change. http://wildfirerisk.org

Fantastic example of journalism getting at Monica’s point - NYT: How Decades of Racist Housing Policy Left Neighborhoods Swelteringhttps://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/08/24/climate/racism-redlining-cities-global-warming.html

Great job everyone!

Fantastic work John et al!

Thanks for the great discussion!
