@andrealearned.bsky.social

We need innovation that not only help us survive climate disasters, but thrive beyond them.

Yes! Hope you and your team are aware of the 9/13-14 Regrow Altadena event hosted by @heidi-adams.bsky.social of @basestudio.bsky.social . Community, nonprofits and leading thinkers on sustainability and resiliency (lighting, energy, buildings, mobility, gardens). A solutions collective x 10!

Exactly our mission:

Connectivity is Climate Resilience
- and what our ReGrow Altadena event 9/13-14 is about.

GREAT conversation, @lindseyphorvath.bsky.social and @katecagle.bsky.social

"How am I supposed to evacuate a community that I can't even communicate with?" - Mayor of Malibu #LAFires

This @c40cities.bsky.social @iamdavidmiller.bsky.social #cities 1.5 series sounds worth a listen. As we and our collaborators head into our ReGrow #altadena event next week (join us!), thinking about *resilient* growth and strong communities is on our minds. #urbanism #podcast

"Angelenos don't necessarily want pricey park amenities — they want places where they can simply be outside, together." - @awalkerinla.bsky.social

#Resilience #PublicHealth #landuse #socialjustice (Let's DO this, LA!) And, thank you, OLIN.

Let’s talk Home Hardening!
Protect what you love! Safer Homes, Stronger Communities.

#RegrowAltadena is FREE and open to everyone. Learn how to harden your home and keep our neighborhoods resilient. Add in local food and live music - and you’ve got a weekend that is both fun and future-proof.

FEMA’s Chaotic Summer Has Gone From Bad to Worse Following a week of strife at the disaster relief agency, Homeland Security secretary Kristi Noem told FEMA employees to “be vocal” about their positive experiences with the Trump administration.

"As the nation heads into the most intense months of the Atlantic hurricane season, employees worry that the agency is not prepared to face another catastrophe." New from @mollytaft.com www.wired.com/story/fema-f...

We now know just how much climate change supercharged Hurricane Katrina Two decades after Katrina, scientists can more easily quantify how global warming is intensifying hurricanes - and how it shaped past storms.

We now know just how much climate change supercharged Hurricane Katrina.

Two decades after the devastating storm, scientists can more easily determine how much global warming is intensifying tropical cyclones.

Powerful storytelling here @capitalb.bsky.social Wow. And, reason to keep developing innovations and solutions that'll keep communities energy secure and connected before, during and after natural disasters. #resilience #socialjustice

The Bordesholm stand-alone grid ensures power supply even in the event of a grid failure YouTube video by SMA Solar Technology

To prove it's possible, a region of Germany cut itself off from the national grid & ran its own regional standalone grid purely on renewable energy & batteries. No nuclear, no fossils.

"The electric grid is nonpartisan. Struggling to pay your utility bill is nonpartisan. Keeping the lights on is nonpartisan." @joshuabasseches.bsky.social

#GridResilience #Energy #Utilities

This was a fascinating microgrid unlike any other I have seen, which showed that wind, solar and batteries can provide lifesaving electricity and heat, even in the frozen north.

Without FEMA, the U.S. really needs this sort of innovation.

The streetlight as a backbone of #infrastructure resilience.

-keep the lights on
-deliver #WiFi
- store clean energy reserves

All while withstanding extreme weather. #solar #EVcharging

Really interesting @grist.org piece and why I am so intrigued by the idea of how more of us (including "deciders" / policy influencers) might be inclined to prioritize PRE-disaster #resilience (things I am learning by working with @heidi-adams.bsky.social on an Altadena rebuild project).

Really interesting! Creating more people focused sidewalks and transportation pays off.

We are excited to be hosting Regrow Altadena: Resilient, Sustainable Communities.

This is where innovation meets community! Together, we’re building a future where neighborhoods are stronger, greener and more connected.

@kirinkalia.bsky.social’s new podcast Message Worth Millions is an honest, insightful & much needed voice for startup founders. Kirin is responsible for sculpting my pitch deck into a powerful story that touched investors.

Listen to her, learn from her, you won’t regret it!
#founderlife #pitching

Building infrastructure #resilience *before* #naturaldisasters is a big opportunity. See us as a resource. Our next-generation #streetlights are designed to withstand fires, floods, and storms, stay on during blackouts, and keep communities connected. #EVcharging #wifi @urbaninstitute.bsky.social

Copper wire theft is costly.

LA is upgrading with solar — smart. At BASEstud.io, our streetlights add solar, battery storage & WiFi, so neighborhoods stay lit, and connected even when the grid goes down.

Thanks @canarymedia.com

These sorts of examples/stories, and the more local (city/state) they are the better, are what more of us need to #NameAndFame to grow the #ClimateInfluence of GOOD things and innovations happening. Thank you, @righttozero.bsky.social

#storytelling #communications #influence

Thank you for your help, amplfying - yes! It is going to be incredible. Also - follow @heidi-adams.bsky.social our CEO as the line-up and collaborations around this event will just get more exciting.
