California Fires and Evacuation Prep Disaster Docs to Go was started in response to the tragic stories of people who evacuated under emergent conditions and who didn't have time to pack anything 5 "What to Take" Modules are in this🧵 Main Module👇 1/5 dropbox.com/scl/fi/c40ebn3…

Home – the place where everything begins. On Earth Day, we celebrate our extraordinary home and all the wonderful, wild creatures with whom we share it. For Earth isn't ours alone – it is one shared home for all life. Yet human actions are placing unprecedented strain on our planet, destroying habitats and endangering creatures big and small. We may be the driving force behind the challenge, but we can also be the solution. Here in Kenya, we work to make our corner of the world a stronger, safer place for all creatures. The news can be disheartening, and we cannot turn our backs on the havoc we are wreaking. Still, we see cause for optimism – animals beating the odds to survive, species returning from the brink, entire habitats regenerating. Our planet is resilient. Every living being deserves a safe place to call home – and Mother Earth can provide that, if we allow her to. Thank you, our supporters, for helping us protect it. If you are in a position to give, please donate in honour of Earth Day: sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/donate

In the West, water is life. Healthy forests create healthy watersheds. We’re building forests that can better handle fire & drought while providing clean water to communities. fs.usda.gov/about-agency/f…

This #EarthDay, step into wonder with National Geographic as we celebrate everything that makes our planet so extraordinary 🌍 #EarthMonth #StepIntoWonder Stream the National Geographic Earth Month collection all April long on @DisneyPlus.

The ocean doesn't take a day off. Neither do we. 🌊 Happy Earth Day to everyone fighting for this planet and our partners, companies choosing to be part of the solution. 💙

Celebrate #EarthDay by making a difference right at home. 🌎 From planting an edible garden and native plants to cutting down on plastic use and avoiding unnecessary idling, small choices can have a big impact. Learn more: bit.ly/4tUHquC

I believe that every generation deserves a world worth inheriting. For #EarthDay, here are five ways UNICEF takes action to protect children, families and their communities from the impacts of climate change.

The young people in our @ObamaFoundation Leaders program give me hope. One of those leaders, Luisa Neubauer, is working to fight climate change and recently traveled to Antarctica. This Earth Day, I hope you'll check out her incredible story.

It's our home. This Earth Day, see our planet as our Artemis II astronauts saw it with these new images from the mission.

Most people who plant flowers for pollinators forget one thing. Bees need water. A bee that lands on the edge of your pool to drink is a dead bee. They can't swim. A standard birdbath is a drowning trap. Bees use water for more than drinking. They cool the hive with it. They feed it to larvae. Mason bees need it to make mud to seal their nest chambers. Some species make 80 water trips a day during nest-building. When natural water disappears, they end up in pools, ditches, and pesticide runoff. The pollinator garden you built isn't complete until you give them somewhere safe to drink.

“Those who ignored Earth Day, well, that’s one thing. Those who ignore the crisis of our planet, that’s quite another.” On this Earth Day, we look back at Walter Cronkite, who hosted a special broadcast on the first Earth Day in 1970, reporting on nationwide protests.

There’s wonder above, below, and all around us. The salt flats of Bolivia blur the line between Earth and the cosmos. 🌍💫 #StepIntoWonder #WelcomeToEarthSeries is now streaming on @DisneyPlus and @hulu.

The largest marine heat wave in the world is lapping at the California coast and shattering ocean temperature records in the northeast Pacific. It will have major implications for California’s weather — supercharging spring storms, setting the stage for an active North American monsoon and Pacific hurricane season, and potentially harming marine plants and animals that are accustomed to the cool, nutrient-rich water typical of the current that runs down the California coast. Summer may feel warmer and muggier than usual in Los Angeles, and perhaps even in San Francisco — a stark contrast to 2025, which was notably cool and foggy along the California coast. More Sierra Nevada thunderstorms are possible by the middle of summer as a result of an enhanced monsoon. The marine heat wave first reached California’s shoreline in September and shrank in fall, a pattern typical of the past decade, said Andy Leising, a research oceanographer at the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration. Then, however, it swelled again in December — an unusual occurrence, Leising said. This week, the exceptionally warm waters extended from San Francisco to central Mexico, south of Hawaii to the equator and beyond the International Date Line. Sea temperatures were most anomalous from Point Conception (Santa Barbara County) to around Cabo San Lucas, Mexico meeting the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration’s criteria for a “strong” to “severe” marine heat wave.

And here’s the last 2000K years. See the red spike at the end? Yeah, it’s happening fast! #ShowYourStripes

Happy Earth Day! 🌎 🌍 🌏 To mark this special day, we’re tuning in to @sen, the world’s first continuous 4K video livestream from space. Sen’s cameras are hosted on our Columbus module of the International @Space_Station, with data delivered via the @AirbusSpace platform. Streaming in real time, it shows breathtaking views of our planet as the International Space Station passes over cities, oceans and deserts. Watch Earth from above, just like our astronaut @SophieAdenot does on the #εpsilon mission. 📹 Sen

Every day is Earth Day at USGS! 🌍 If every drop of water on, in, and above the Earth was gathered into a single ball, it would be surprisingly small compared to the planet. While 71% of Earth’s surface is covered by water, that represents only a thin layer. So how much water is there on Earth? 💧 96.5% is saline water in oceans 💧 2.5% is found as freshwater 💧 30% of the freshwater is stored in the ground 💧 69% of that freshwater is stored in glaciers and ice caps 💧 about 1% is accessible in lakes and rivers Earth's water supply is finite and constantly moving through the water cycle. Understanding why the tiny sphere of water shown is critical helps put Earth Day into perspective. While water is abundant, easily accessible freshwater is a scarce, precious resource that is the lifeblood of our planet.

On EarthDay, remember: Earth isn’t just ours—it belongs to every living creature. When habitats disappear, so do they.

Every forecast, every warning, and every dataset we share helps countries turn data to action. By closing data gaps in observations, we can ensure that communities are informed, warned early and better protected wherever they may be. Our power, our planet. #EarthDay

🌊 #EarthDay reminder: our planet is blue. Our oceans cover over two-thirds of our planet and connect us all. But they're also under threat. Join Oceana in making a splash for our blue planet today: oceana.ly/4tTTEUe

📢 Every year, many disasters go unreported, despite affecting the lives & livelihoods of millions. To make informed decisions, secure funding, and implement effective prevention measures, we must account for the cost of all disasters. ➡️ ow.ly/gGVT50Uic3s
