BACK-TO-BACK STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS!

@JeffreyBrandes We also use former Flood Insurance Rate Maps as "flood maps." We should be deciding building elevations in a better way too. Cheap flood insurance helped create this problem. It will take decades to undo.

Imagine standing on the idyllic shores of Florida’s Gulf Coast—paradise, right? But what if I told you that the very thing making it accessible is also making it dangerous? That’s the paradox of federally subsidized flood insurance. It was designed to protect us, yet it’s quietly driving us into the path of hurricanes, luring us to build where the risks are highest. It’s a classic case of unintended consequences. We’re not just dreaming of coastal living—we’re gambling on it, over and over again. The real question isn’t why people live on the edge, but why we’ve made it so easy. #Florida #FloodInsurance #RethinkingRisk

@ScienceByMaria @ametsoc Very cool!

@BJsWholesale Thank you for responding. I was told I could use it if I was paying cash with the cashier but not credit. Going back into the store to get a physical card was too much that night but I guess I’ll have to do it next time and keep it in my car. 🚗

@abogdanoff Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We apologize for any trouble caused by our virtual membership cards not being accepted at our gas stations. We are constantly working to improve our systems. We will consider your feedback and strive to do better in the future.

I am absolutely baffled by companies like @BJsWholesale that put out technology like virtual membership cards, but then you can’t use them at places like their gas stations. Do better.

Great chatting about the need to focus on streamlining federal funding and investing before disaster strikes. Thank you, @SenRubioPress

Senator Rubio met with #Florida mayors Tim Meerbott, Lois Paritsky, @MayorCunningham, Elaine Brown, Brent Latham, and @LargoMayor, as well as State Rep @CHunschofsky, to discuss flooding mitigation strategies around the state. @floodcoalition

Reducing flood impacts shouldn't come at the cost of sacrificing a community's character or residents' quality of life. In #Florida, we're standing shoulder to shoulder with our mayors and local govts to help deliver effective and locally-driven flood resilience projects!

Always helpful to hear from FL Chief Resilience Officer @Wesley_R_Brooks, a tremendous partner for Florida leaders and @floodcoalition in our shared efforts to enhance flood resilience across the state. #FloodSummitDC

Calling all #sciencecommunication professionals who care about the health of the planet and want to help build communication strategy. The new state-funded Flood Hub for Applied Research & Innovation, is hiring a Science Communication Manager. #USF bit.ly/3uzfj75

HB 513 passed unanimously out of the Senate this morning and is headed to the Governor’s desk to be signed into law! This legislation is another step in building a more resilient Florida. #HD104

@Robin_Bartleman @RepDemi @Michaeludine @MayorDaniella @SenatorAMR Proud of the work you are doing for our community and region!

I was happy to sponsor and pass unanimously Miami Beach’s membership to the American Flood Coalition. We many not always be focused on rising waters, but flood mitigation will be Florida’s greatest challenge in the coming decades.

The slow innocuous takeover of things closest to the water. This is #sealevelrise @ Fort Lauderdale, Florida instagram.com/p/CXGmA4muUnVB…

This is what happens when tides are higher and we get decent rain. This is a coming attraction of #morefrequentflooding with #sealevelrise ☔️
