Giving can be very quiet after a #flood. Despite the National Flood Insurance Program estimating that just one inch of flooding in your home costs a minimum of $25,000 in damage in the U.S., funding to cover damage is often limited or not available. So, how can a response be improved? https://bit.ly/4cZ8bW1 #disaster #CDP4Recovery

Study: Native Americans living in tribal communities in the U.S. now face two additional extreme heat days compared to their historical lands. They also received 23% less precipitation, 36.3% of tribal lands dealt with increased drought, and 47.7% of tribes faced increased risk from wildfires. https://bit.ly/3VMtPpC #wildfire #drought #tribal

When tornadoes hit rural communities, which is often, recovery is slower and requires “patient dollars.” We must understand that progress will not occur as quickly as it does in larger, more well-resourced communities.

Flooding can often be ignored, but it can be extremely damaging and deadly. There have been 45 deaths directly associated with #floods in the U.S. so far this year. And the damage can take years to recover from, often with little to no funding: https://bit.ly/3AaZ2vq #disaster #CDP4Recovery

We’ve been tracking many, many #wildfires this year, from more than a million acres burned in Texas and Oklahoma to the destruction of half the town of Jasper, Canada, to other record-setting wildfires. It seems overwhelming, but imagine how families who’ve now lost their homes AGAIN after rebuilding from the Camp Fire feel. So what can we do? https://bit.ly/4cBgTtk #diaster #CDP4Recovery
