Here’s a list of just some of the lifesaving awards that were terminated. Nearly all were Congressionally mandated. They’ve saved millions of lives. 🧵

Agreed. The Red Cross Climate Center does a good job integrating social science in DRM. There is scope for more work in this area.
The role of social science in natural catastrophe assessment remains underutilized. Blending pure science with a better understanding of human behavior should be a layup in communicating / planning for risk scenarios.
