Across the United States, communities are already facing worsening climate impacts during “Danger Season”—the period between May and October when extreme heat, drought, flooding, wildfires, and storms hit hardest.
And these risks are being made worse by the Trump administration’s destructive agenda that is undermining our ability to forecast, prepare, and respond to climate and extreme weather disasters.
The Union of Concerned Scientists invites you to a Danger Season Action Hour on how the Trump administration’s attacks on crucial climate science and resilience policies are putting people at risk—and what you can do to fight back.
Date: Tuesday, June 23 Time: 7:30–8:30 p.m. ET
From dismantling federal climate research programs to cutting funding for agencies such as the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and Federal Emergency Management Agency, recent Trump administration actions are eroding life-saving science and disaster preparedness programs. At the same time, rising energy costs and economic pressures are leaving families less able to cope with climate extremes.
At this event, UCS climate resilience expert, Shana Udvardy, will explain:
- How attacks on climate science and resilience policies are undermining our ability to prepare for, respond to and recover from climate and extreme weather disasters; and
- What these changes mean for your community.
Campaign Manager Kate Cell and Senior Organizer Shabd Singh will explain:
- How we can hold decision-makers accountable; and
- Actions you can take right now to protect science and public safety.
