With the summer travel season upon us, we are proud to release our important new study, "MOVING HAZARDS: Transportation Systems and Environmental Disasters." https://lnkd.in/ePxF5AgY The study focuses on four main transportations system—roads (trucks), rails (trains), water (vessels) and land (pipelines). It examines the unnerving frequency of hazmat accidents, their impact on communities and individuals, weak regulatory oversight, well-known case studies, and how important it is for victims to seek some kind of recourse in court following a disaster. We also produced four fact sheets to accompany the report. Check it out!

As rain and snowmelt cascade across the USA Garrison Fort Sill cantonment area, much of it flows over buildings and pavement, which are impermeable surfaces that prevent water from soaking into the ground. The runoff is channeled through storm drains into nearby creeks, such as East Cache Creek, Sitting Bear Creek, Medicine Creek, Wolf Creek, and Mission Creek. Eventually, these waterways converge and drain into the Red River, which flows into the Gulf of Mexico in Louisiana. Read more how Fort Sill is teaming with Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality to protect surface water quality and groundwater resources by minimizing increases in runoff. http://spr.ly/6045cQTnf

A cost-effective way to reduce the risk of wildfire impact is by creating a defensible space, where vegetation, debris, and other combustible fuels are treated, cleared, or reduced to slow the spread of wildfire towards the structure. Turn to CNA's business resilience guide for more measures on how to protect your property against wildfires. https://ow.ly/nPQm50SNFzY

The U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) has released an investigative report into the Forest Service’s prescribed burn protocols. Requested by Rep. Teresa Leger Fernández, the report comes in the aftermath of the devastating Hermit's Peak/Calf Canyon Fire in northern New Mexico. Accidents like the Hermit's Peak/Calf Canyon Fire are exceptionally rare. GAO’s recommendations on the need to improve the information, tools, and technology the Forest Service uses to support prescribed fire planning and implementation would make them more rare. Congress should act on the recommendations to “develop applications that identify optimal burn windows based on historical weather and climate data, and improve fire behavior modeling tools to better predict how intensely a prescribed fire will burn and how it may spread.” https://lnkd.in/gScy8QqR
