...and we marvel at how the prices of construction materials, especially lumber, are skyrocketing. Lots of woodland fires, lots of rebuilding demands on fire-ravaged and flooded ranges alike.

How slow warnings, poor defences left #Spain exposed to deadly floods

I always find it particularly bitter when corrupt politicians are so lazy that they don't even care about human lives and prefer to blame others after the disaster in order to keep their lucrative office for which they are obviously unsuitable.

Trapped in a Fast flowing #flash #flood. No phone reception. Was pretty terrifying. So proud of my little red car who refused to give up.

Eventually rocked up at a house on higher ground. Get out of the car. Woman opens the door. "I am really really scared" I managed to blurt out. "Quick, come in" the woman says. "Will you have a cuppa tea?"

How an Indigenous community in #Panama is escaping rising seas

Source: https://www.sciencenews.org/article/indigenous-guna-panama-escape-rising-seas

This year, about 300 families from Gardi Sugdub are expected to begin moving to a new #community on the #mainland. The #resettlement plan was initiated by the residents there more than a decade ago when they could no longer deny that the island couldn’t accommodate the growing #population. Rising seas and intense storms are only making the predicament more dire.
