In today's warming climate, how can people prepare for the danger of wildfires?

In New Caledonia, communities have been taking things into their own hands to try to slow down fires by planting trees that can act as green fire breaks.

Due to global warming, global climate models predict hurricanes will likely cause more intense rainfall. What other changes can be expected with climate change and hurricanes? Find out more: climate.nasa.gov/news/3184/a…
.@NOAASatellites acquired this image of #HurricaneHilary in the predawn hours of Aug. 18, when the eye of the storm was about 400 miles (640 kilometers) off the coast of Baja California. The storm is expected to weaken while drenching a swath of California and the U.S. Southwest with heavy rains.

The image shows infrared brightness temperature data, which is useful for distinguishing cooler cloud structures (white and blue) from warmer surfaces below (yellow). The coolest temperatures are generally associated with the tallest clouds: go.nasa.gov/3OJroAC - NASA
