"Socioeconomic Impact of Floods"
25/01/2023 Duration: 37minGuests: Andrew KruczkiewiczIntroduction: Our world constantly cycles through drought and flooding, drenching one side while parching another. It may seem erratic at times, but it’s all Mother Nature’s way of keeping the balance. And to the people that are on the ground that rely on the water for food and business, it may seem unfair. At the end of the day, when people are caught in the crossfire of extreme rainfall and flooding events, there are some that are more impacted than others. Is that really fair? Today we’re talking to Andrew Kruczkiewicz who has been studying these impacts and how we as a society can improve to avoid the extent of them.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Weathering the Storm

Most recently, as Hurricane Ian made landfall in Southwest Florida, Mike anchored his live shots from Fort Myers. During one of his segments, Mike said, and I quote: “This is one of the worst hurricanes I’ve ever been in, and maybe the worst as far as covering”. For a man who has provided over 20,000 live shots and worked in over 90 storms for the Weather Channel, that was a powerful statement… and one we want to dig into.

Something to Heat Stress Over
21/09/2022 Duration: 31minGuest: Paul IñiguezIf you asked 100 people what the deadliest weather risk is, odds are they would pick some of the more flashy natural disasters, like hurricanes, tornadoes or lightning. Some may even say the cold temperatures with how brutal it gets in the northern tier during the winter. But the real answer is the heat! And it’s not necessarily the record heat during the hottest time of the day, it also includes the overnight temperatures that don’t let our body cool down. And that’s the keyword right there: our body. NWS meteorologists in the western region have developed a forecast product that will make it easier for everyone to understand their heat risk, and we have Paul Iñiguez on the show today to talk about it!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
