and on developing an action plan for the initiative’s implementation.

Background

Globally one third of citizens are still not covered by early warning systems. The EW4All Action Plan was launched at the UN Climate Change Conference (COP27) held in Egypt in November 2022 for further investment across disaster risk knowledge, observations and forecasting, preparedness and response, and communication of early warnings, with particularly priority placed on vulnerable communities.

The Early Warnings for All Initiative calls for a global effort to ensure that such systems protect everyone on Earth by 2027. Early Warning Systems, supported by preparedness and early action, are a proven, effective, and feasible disaster risk reduction and climate adaptation measure, that save lives and provide a tenfold return on investment. Yet, major gaps in early warning systems remain globally, especially when it comes to translating early warnings into risk-informed early action.

Even after the storm passes, power outages have their own set of hazards. Be especially careful with generators — never use them inside or in garages to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning. Use flashlights, not candles, to avoid risk of fire.

Shortly after the passage, Buoy 42099 stopped sending out data; possibly damaged by high winds and waves near the eyewall of Idalia. It recorded wave height of 34 feet, highest before going offline.

Time for a new quiz!

Yesterday, #NOAA20 had a clear view of this bay between the Canadian provinces of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.

The bay has the highest tides in the world, ranging between 11 and 53 ft.

Twice daily the bay fills and empties billions of tons of water during each tide cycle—that’s more than the flow of all the world’s freshwater rivers combined.

What is the name of this bay?
- Anchor Bay
- Baffin Bay
- Conception Bay
- Bay of Fundy
