Encyclopedia Of Natural Hazards by Peter T. Dobrowsky, 2013

A compendium of critical, timely and very detailed information and essential facts regarding the basic attributes of natural hazards and concomitant disasters. Contains contributions from an international portfolio of almost 300 specialists whose range of expertise addresses over 330 topics pertinent to the field of natural hazards.

Fired #climate scientist Tom Di Liberto says lives are at risk from #extremeweather as more cuts loom over the U.S. government agency responsible for #forecasting and much more. Di Liberto lost his job as part of a massive purge by the Trump administration, and worries the layoffs will not only cost the U.S. more money, but will cripple weather forecasting across the continent, leaving many people vulnerable to #NaturalHazards

So, back on the birdsite, I maintained a public list titled #GlobalAlerts. One of my favorite accounts from the birdsite, @ai6yr, graciously hosts and maintains a number of alert-bots here on Mastodon. If you miss having #NWS and #EmergencyAlerts, please consider creating your own list with these accounts... Suggestions welcome!

@ai6yr
The account of AI6YR Ben, on his own server. Also at @ai6yr (ham radio). Yes, I'm the guy who found that hiker using only the selfie of his feet. If you want to support this server, patreon.com/ai6yr

@easwatch
#EAS warning bot *EXPERIMENTAL* Do not use for official advice.

@watchduty_bot
This is an automated bot which toots out new #wildfires reported by WatchDuty (app.watchduty.org). Not run by WatchDuty. Created by @ai6yr

@trueinfections
With the onset of the Global Village, there's no need for trek or safari to hunt for #viruses, #bacteria and other new #pathogens. Just wait. They'll be right at your door.

@disasters
A dedicated service that provides near-realtime updates on #NaturalHazards worldwide. Using data feeds from the United Nations and European Commission, I offer timely notifications within a 5-minute interval concerning #earthquakes, #tsunamis, #volcanos, #floods, and #wildfires. 🚨 Follow me for near-realtime alerts.

@CopernicusEU
Unofficial automated mirror. No copyright asserted. ∎ The #EarthObservation component of the EU Space Programme

@zoom_earth
Interactive #weather map and #hurricane tracker. Real-time satellite imagery, radar, and forecast maps.

@droughtcenter
We're the National #Drought Mitigation Center at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Our mission is to reduce the effects of drought on people, the environment and the economy with cutting-edge science and thoughtful planning. We host the U.S. Drought Monitor, the nation's leading resource to track drought conditions. #drought #DroughtMonitor #climate #science #data #maps #planning

@solarflarealert
Automated postings based on GOES X-ray flux for at least M-class #SolarFlares.

@g7izu
#SolarStorms, aurora and radio propagation mostly for around the UK and Europe. Alerts are informational only and are not official. I post about various other subjects as well, but always hope to be informative and interesting. I am *NOT* a professional space weather forecaster, but it is my hobby.

@nws_ntwc_bot
This automated bot toots out: NWS NTWC(direct), and #NWS PTWC bulletins (direct) (UNOFFICIAL). ***EXPERIMENTAL - Don't bet your life on it*** Created by @ai6yr

@usgsvolcanoes_bot
This is a bot account which toots the content that shows up on the USGS #Volcanoes Twitter account. NOT OFFICIAL. Experimental, too. Created by @ai6yr

@fdarecall_bot
This bot toots out #FDARecalls that are posted by the #FDA. NOT OFFICIAL. Created by @ai6yr

@bigquakes_bot
This automated account toots out whenever there is a notable #earthquake around the world, in real time. Data via the USGS. Created by @ai6yr

@eqnz
(Unofficial) #geonet earthquake feed. Posts #earthquakes felt in #NewZealand at at least an intensity of III (weak)

@emsc
#EMSC provides rapid earthquake information. This account displays all recorded #worldwide earthquakes.

@quakes
This bot posts all earthquakes greater than 2.5 in near real time as they are posted by the USGS. This bot was created by @bbaugh

@westquake
Toots for quakes M2 or above. Source: California and Nevada quake list scedc.caltech.edu/recent/Quake By @tsturm

‘You know, clean our drains out, clean our gutters, get your battery-operated radio ready.

’People only panic when they've got no sense of control.

’He says the south-east is on track for the wettest December since 2010, when 479mm of rain fell in a month.

‘So far this December, the region has recorded 301mm, with more to come over the next two weeks’.

Congratulations to Dr. Fiona D'Arcy, who successfully defended her Ph.D. thesis, "Carbon isotopes as monitoring tools for active volcanic systems"(John Stix, supervisor). Fiona designed and flew gas sampling systems on UAVs into the gas plumes of Poás, Costa Rica and Stromboli, Italy.

#Flooding in #Valencia: +200 fatalities
- Cause of the intense storm: the Mediterranean Sea has been unusually warm for months, ie climate change
- Cause of the disaster: poor urban planning & poor risk management (delayed warnings)

The cause of the storm's intensity differs from the cause of the disaster's severity! On Intensity vs severity see doi.org/10.1002/pan3.10471

Protecting People With Natural Hazards Research And Monitoring

“Natural hazards like earthquakes, volcanoes, landslides, and floods impact millions of Americans every year. The U.S. Geological Survey monitors these hazards in realtime, giving communities early warnings and critical information. In some cases, forecasting where the threat is greatest and helping reduce the risk to people, homes, and infrastructure. From earthquake early warning to coastal change forecasting, USGS science saves lives and helps protect the economy. Enhancing the safety and resilience of our country. Making us a more Hazard Ready Nation.”

["The big one", if it happened today we would be right royally %^#$& (excuse my pretend language 😉 ), we are nowhere close to being hardened, etc; my other ½ is a space weather scientist, until I knew her I was not fully aware of all the risks and hazards associated with space weather]
