photo - the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake in Japan caused widespread destruction and a devastating tsunami. The mortality rate of those with disabilities during and after the Tōhoku earthquake was more than twice as high as that of people without disabilities.

photo - ShakeAlert on a mobile first - The ShakeAlert earthquake early warning system provides alerts seconds before shaking occurs, like when a magnitude 4.6 earthquake hit Los Angeles in August. But the alerts aren’t accessible to many deaf and hard of hearing people, according to new research.

"Across much of the world, [emergency alert] #WarningSystems for #NaturalDisasters have not evolved in response to #ClimateChange...

Fires, storms, and other extreme weather events 'aren't behaving the same way'... They not only are bigger and faster moving, but are cropping up in new places.

That can be especially dangerous in areas with #EmergencyAlert systems narrowly tailored to the types of #disaster that have historically occurred there."
