During a recent wildfire in Nevada, many at-risk residents did not receive warnings. As the Natural Hazards Center's
@carsonmk.bsky.social explains, flaws in emergency alert systems persist nationwide. Urgent improvements are needed to deliver life-saving emergency information: bit.ly/47B1DfK

As tornado hazard shifts with a changing climate, the latest Weather Ready research calls attention to child-serving institutions which may lack adequate
building codes to withstand deadly tornado wind speeds: bit.ly/3SVFVzC

The image depicts a school bus destroyed by a tornado, with a description of the contents of a new Weather Ready Research study: "Public schools and child care centers can act as storm shelters or safe havens during tornadoes. But as climate
change shapes future tornado climatology, there’s an urgent
need to better understand changing hazard exposure for these places. Using modeled tornado environments, this study estimated changes to tornado occurrence at the county-level and associated risk for child-serving institutions."

As disaster losses rise and social vulnerabilities deepen, a security-first paradigm in emergency management is increasingly ineffective. For Research Counts, Nnenia Campbell and Hans Louis-Charles call for a more humanitarian ethos that prioritizes human welfare and risk reduction: lnkd.in/gsN9x-XR
