What to Say:
This #ClimateFriday, hundreds of thousands across the Southeast remain without power or running water in the aftermath of the climate disaster Hurricane #Helene. Our hearts go out to all those affected, particularly those who have lost loved ones. https://americanredcross.donordrive.com/campaign/ClimateActionCampaign
One million without power
Tens of thousands without running water
Over 200 deaths
The impact of #Helene cannot be understated, & neither can the cause: Climate change is to blame for making storms like this more powerful & destructive. #ClimateFriday
Hurricane #Helene may have made landfall last week, but Southeastern communities will be feeling the impacts of this major climate disaster for the foreseeable future, with hundreds of thousands still without power and nearly 200 dead. #ClimateFriday https://abcnews.go.com/US/live-updates/hurricane-helene/?id=113931821
"But in a world reshaped by human-caused global warming, no place is truly safe and Helene had the “fingerprints of climate change” all over it."
#Helene is a devastating reminder that climate change is a danger to all communities. #ClimateFriday https://www.cnn.com/2024/10/02/climate/asheville-flooding-history-helene/index.html
