"There's a lot of evidence that shows that the stronger a community's social cohesion is, the better chances they have of resilience from climate hazards," said Rishi Sugla, climate resilient scientist at the UW Climate Impacts Group. @uofwa.bsky.social @nwcasc.bsky.social
Earthaven Ecovillage fared remarkably well after Hurricane Helene. The community had backup power and water systems, as well as food supplies, but members also knew how to work together in a crisis.

More on recent termination of the NW Climate Resilience Collaborative and concerns for remaining NOAA Climate Adaptation Partnerships (CAPs).
"NOAA’s investment in CAP program was one of the very few to say, very explicitly, go see if you can solve problems in your region, full stop."
"NOAA’s investment in CAP program was one of the very few to say, very explicitly, go see if you can solve problems in your region, full stop."
The Trump administration has shut off funding to at least two government-sponsored university centers researching ways to help communities adapt for extreme climate.

The dismissal of National Climate Assessment authors this week and notice that its scope is being "reevaluated" leaves the door open to a compromised report serving fossil fuel interests at the cost of American communities.
I talked to John Vause about this concern on CNN International last night.

I talked to the Seattle Times about how loss of our region's Climate Adaptation Science Center and NOAA Climate Adaptation Partnership would slash our capacity to support NW climate resilience.
“If the (centers) are eliminated, then our resource managers are going to be flying blind,” Krosby said."
