From the HSNW: Buildings Left Standing in turkey Offer design Guidance for Future Earthquake Resilient Construction.

From Inside Climate News: A New Report Is Out on Hurricane Ian’s Destructive Path. The Numbers Are Horrific. The category 4 storm was the costliest in Florida’s history. Storm surges rose as high as 15 feet and over 20 inches of rain fell on some communities.

From the Conversation: In Turkey, women are feeling the worst aftershocks of the earthquake disaster – this disparity may lead to dwindling trust in government,

“When natural disasters strike, women and girls tend to experience disproportionate challenges and heightened risks.

They are much more likely than men to experience sexual violence and health problems. Women and girls also face greater professional and educational setbacks.

So it should come as no surprise that challenges continue to mount for women in Turkey and Syria following a 7.8 magnitude earthquake on Feb. 6, 2023, that killed more than 50,000 people and displaced 3 million people.”
