Rating hurricane impact: The “Waffle House” Effect. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/science/what-the-waffle-house-index-says-about-hurricane-milton Often the best way to measure impact is to look at patterns of disruption that go beyond estimated dollar amounts of property damage. #HurricaneRecovery #disasterrecovery #socialsystems
Another reason that hurricane-related deaths can continue long after the storm has passed. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/nation/when-hurricanes-hit-flooded-industrial-sites-and-chemical-releases-are-a-silent-toxic-threat (recall the ongoing effects today of the WTC attack on 9/11/2001). #publichealth #disasterrecovery #pollutants #HurricaneRecovery

No surprise, my primary supplier of glass, Mountain Glass Arts in Asheville, has been severely impacted by the flooding in that area. Luckily for them and their customers, they do have a West Coast location in Eugene. Still, yet another major blow to the visual arts community in western North Carolina. Here are some ways to help everyone recover: https://www.bpr.org/bpr-news/2024-09-28/list-ways-to-donate-and-help-flood-victims-in-western-north-carolina-after-hurricane-helene #Helene #NC #hurricanerecovery #westernNorthCarolina #asheville #artscommunity #handmade #MastoArt

Gift article from the Washington Post; How ‘cherry-picking’ policies let one insurer win big in Florida’s insurance crisis
I can't help thinking about oligarchs.
They earn so much more than us. They pay less tax. In fact they pay nowhere near their share.
Yet when there's a disaster like floods, mudslides, earthquakes, cyclones they leave the bill for the clean-up with the Govt. Except Govt coffers only contain taxes from our money. Us poor sods who DO pay our way, DO pay our share. And the oligarchs (#Zuckerberg #Musk #Bezos) don't.
And it's all legal of course bc they pay accountants to find loopholes to avoid paying into the treasuries around the world. The Treasuries that pay to clean up the mud, rubble, bush fires, devastated land and shitty water.
The oligarchs sit on the sidelines knowing that floods, earthquakes, hurricanes will *never* affect them bc they can fly out to somewhere safe, to another of their 20 homes. They come and go wherever they please. While we wait for relief, food, water, shelter in a school hall. Wait for diggers to clear the mess. Wait for some semblance of a life to emerge.
And all the while the oligarchs have SO MUCH, share so little of the trillions they have held back from us in unpaid share of taxes.
And they run their businesses with such disdain and disrespect for us, their employees and customers.
I was just thinking about that today.
