Good morning rural Alabama! Our Disaster Recovery team is on snow watch as winter storm Cora hits the state. Let us know what conditions look like in your area & be careful out there! #ALstormwatch #ALsnowwatch
We were recently featured in an article by @syd_cromwell alongside @HometownAction @PoliticalHealer for our climate protection project that highlights the impact of climate change in rural Alabama. southern-science.com/2023/10…

“I don’t think any community in Alabama is actually fully prepared when disaster strikes, but in rural communities, in particular, there’s far less resources and less robust infrastructure.”

AL has an active fall/winter tornado season. As we prepare to enter the Nov storm season, many rural communities are still recovering from this year's Jan 12 tornadoes. This is why we work with communities to develop long-term plans for preparedness & community resilience.
The season is a changin'. Tornadoes do occur in our part of the country during the cool season! Keep up w/ the 4cast, know your location on a map, and have a safety plan that includes a supplies kit and knowing where your quickest sheltering option is. #SevereWeatherAwarenessDay
ALT Chart showing tornado counts by month for the state of Alabama. The fall, winter, and spring have a fair amount of tornadoes with much fewer tornadoes during the summer months.
Our Disaster Recovery team is excited to be learning more & how we can apply it to our ongoing work in #Alabama's rural communities impacted by climate disasters this year. #ClimateProtection #CPP2023
