If you can tune in, check out this upcoming webinar: Scientist to discuss how we can adapt — and improve our survival — to future natural disasters.

One of the tidbits at the link above includes this: "Between 1980 and 2017, the United States suffered 219 disasters costing about $1 billion, according to an agency of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The cumulative costs of those events exceeded $1.5 trillion."

Sponsored by Carnegie Institution for Science. Her message is adapt now or pay the price later!
