More than half of the structures in the United States are threatened by natural disasters, including floods, tornadoes, and wildfires, according to a new study published by the American Geophysical Union. 
While this dangerous trend is strongly influenced by clinate change and rising temperatures, the experts have found that risky development and land use changes are also to blame. 
Study lead author Virginia Iglesias is a research scientist in the University of Colorado Boulder Earth Lab.
“We know that climate change is increasing the risk of damage from some natural hazards,” said Iglesias. “But are losses also increasing because of the way that we are developing our cities, our towns?” ....

Natural hazards threaten 57% of US structures


WASHINGTON More than half of the structures in the contiguous United States are exposed to potentially devastating natural hazards such as floods, tornadoes and wildfires according to a new study in the AGU journal
Earth s Future, which publishes interdisciplinary research on the past, present and future of our planet and its inhabitants.
Increasing temperatures and environmental changes contribute to this trend, and the research also shines the light on another culprit: the way humans develop open land, towns and cities.
We know that climate change is increasing the risk of damage from some natural hazards, said Virginia Iglesias, a research scientist with the University of Colorado Boulder Earth Lab and lead author of the paper. But are losses also increasing because of the way that we are developing our cities, our towns? ....

Tribal colleges and universities partner to fill COVID-19 data gaps


April 6, 2021
When Elisha Yellow Thunder first learned of COVID-19, she worried that her community would be hit hard. As a member of the Oglala Lakota Nation (Oglala Sioux Tribe), born and raised on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota, Yellow Thunder knew that her community was not equipped to address a pandemic. Nearly a year later, Yellow Thunder mourns the loss of many relatives. Like many tribes across the U.S., the Oglala Sioux Tribe has been devastated by a loss of elders, many of whom are the cultural knowledge-keepers and fluent speakers of the Lakota language.
American Indian and Alaska Native communities have been disproportionately impacted by COVID-19 compared to other racial and ethnic minority groups, according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data. Compounding this problem, COVID-19 data has not been collected or shared consistently across American Indian reservations. ....
