The work we've been doing to make info more accessible—disaster glossary, explainers, q&as, printouts—made it possible to pull this together and get it in a van to Eastern Kentucky tonight.
This is journalism.
Thanks to all who are donating, sharing, driving, reaching out.

Some people have died before they could return home. @ncpolicywatch investigation shows how a troubled contractor & lack of oversight by @rebuildnc continue to displace Hurricane Matthew survivors. Yes, that hurricane, the one from 2016 ncpolicywatch.com/2022/05/09… #ncpol #ncga
It's paywalled but if you can access it, this is a must-read about a couple's claim that they were traumatically separated from their newborn bc a drug test confused the mother's prescribed ADHD meds with meth. Fantastic reporting from @PeteHall86 and @Leif_Greiss.
Important story by @PeteHall86 and myself. It touches on ADHD, pregnancy and how the war on drugs still echoes in our legal and health care systems.

Just got a monthly invoice reminder that ended with a Ted Kooser poem the emailer said she finds "so restful." "Remember that we owe you money and here's some calming art" is such a nice thing to open on a Monday 🥰

Gm everyone.
I love @CardinalNewsVA and am a proud member.
This is why.
Best headline I've seen in a while: "Walla Walla will spend $52,000 to see if glass recycling is too expensive"
‘This isn’t just spending $50,000 to tell citizens it’s too expensive?’

The brookies strike back: @ncdeq fines company $268K that prompted emergency fish rescue, contaminated and filled in mountain streams pulse.ncpolicywatch.org/2022… @NCWildlife @ncpolicywatch #ncpol
"What’s going to happen to the 80,000 in extra gallons of water coming down?” Murphy asked the board.
Great story from @anitawadhwani highlighting local governments' "increasingly critical role in planning for flood mitigation" in TN as the impacts of climate change intensify.

Inspired by my time at @PhillyInquirer this summer, I wrote about local science reporting for @Open_Notebook. Thanks to @sabrinaamorenoo, Mark Johnson, @MoNscience, @swadely, and @amyqin12 for sharing your wisdom theopennotebook.com/2022/04/…

there’s a huge gap between what journalists think is best practice (which includes door-knocking) and what non-journalists think (and that includes non-journalist elites)

Emergency management. FEMA. HUD. CDBG-DR. Transitional sheltering. SBA.
Navigating disaster info is hard. An alphabet soup of acronyms; programs/terms scattered across the internet.
So we made a glossary—and we want you to tell us what else to add.
