From Dept of Angels 9-month post-LA fires report, tens of thousands of families still aren’t able to return home. Families should be able to rely on the insurance they’ve been paying for years to hold up their end of the deal.

Communities across the Caribbean shouldn’t be paying the price of extreme weather. Real recovery means putting the cost of weather disasters on the oil companies that profit from creating this mess.

We stand with everyone impacted by #Melissa, and have compiled trusted organizations to donate to♥️

As Ellen, a Hurricane Helene survivor, shares: as extreme weather survivors, we have so much in common, and need each other to get through the ups and downs of recovery.

We know #FEMA has never been a solution that fixes everything, but it's less reliable than ever before, leaving families to pick up the pieces.

No one should have to experience extreme weather, but when we do, we should at least be able to count on our government to help us.

As our friend Alex, a Katrina and Helene survivor, shares, art can be healing. For survivors, creating art about our experiences is a way to “build out of chaos”.

We’re thinking of everyone who might be impacted by violent weather this weekend— with Tropical Storm #Priscilla and a nor’easter on the way.

You don’t have to experience a hurricane or flood alone. We’re surviving this, together.

Feeling like it’s warmer than usual for October? It’s not just you. This kind of heat this late in the year is record-breaking (and breaking the bank with more expensive utility bills!).

The weather just keeps weirding out — whether it’s a heat wave in October or a 1-in-1,000-year flood.

We shared hugs, meals, helped rebuild a fence, and shared resources with Texas flood survivors recently. The state took 76 days to release emergency funding. Meanwhile, people had to keep going, showing up for each other and proving that community is the backbone of recovery.

“Be gentle with yourself, wherever you are.”

One of our mental health experts shared this during our last Community Conversation, and honestly? It’s always a timely reminder, especially for survivors.

Healing isn’t linear. Wherever you are today, it’s OK. Be kind to yourself ❤️

September is National Preparedness Month, so now’s a good time to make sure you have a plan to stay safe in the next fire, flood, or hurricane. Here are a few tips from NC Governor Josh Stein, with advice we’ve heard from our community added in. What’s your advice for preparing for extreme weather?
