The wind criteria of 58 MPH (50 knots) did not change. Scientific research increasingly indicates that significant damage to real property does not occur until hail stones reach at least 1 inch in diameter. The results of these peer-reviewed articles are supported by damage reports from thousands of archived storm events. Many in the media and the emergency management community were concerned that too many Severe Thunderstorm Warnings were being issued for marginal events and these warnings were desensitizing the public. The new 1 inch criteria will reduce the number of Severe Thunderstorm Warnings each season and will warn for a genuine risk of damage and a corresponding need to take protective action. The 15 counties in west central and southwest Florida received 109 reports of 3/4 inch hail or larger over the past two years, and of these, only 35 hail reports were 1 inch or larger.

The school closures brought on by COVID-19 have underscored how critical the physical environment is to stu- dent well-being and educational success. And yet, for large populations of students— particularly those in communities with fewer resources and in Black, Latino, and other communities of color1—going back to school means going back to broken-down facilities with poor insulation and outdated ventilation systems.2 The deficiencies of school infrastructure have been exposed by the compounding crises of the COVID-19 pandemic and the record-breaking extreme weather events exacerbated by climate change. Last year, schools in Oregon burned in the worst wildfire season to date,3 and schools in Florida flooded after Tropical Storm Eta.4 In February, an extreme cold snap caused schools in Texas to freeze.5 According to a 2020 report by the Government Accountability Office (GAO), 54 percent of U.S. school districts—a bulk of which primarily serve students of color—need to update or completely replace multiple building systems in their schools.6 Without the funds to do so, these districts are increasingly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change and the exorbitant costs of rebuilding after it is too late.

  • 1 Time Perspective and Social
    1 TIME PERSPECTIVE AND SOCIAL HEROISM PHIL ZIMBARDO (June, 2017) There is no research on the issue oF temporal orientation diFFerences between two major categories of heroes: Physical risk vs. Social risk heroes. It is reasonable and conceptually appropriate to argue that in many cases, physical risk heroes act impulsively, making the decision to act on the spur oF the moment, captivated by the emergency oF the situation they Face. They are reactive to situational demands and have their behavioral response system set to: Play, or Forward action, but not to Pause. The problem arises when they do not evaluate the emergency situations Fully or appropriately because in some cases they are not equipped to respond Fully to the demands oF that situation, or they should get help in doing so, such as calling the police or other bystanders in that setting. A prime example is the physical risk hero, Wesley Autrey, who a few years ago in New York City jumped down From the platForm oF a subway to help someone who had fallen across the train tracks and was unconscious. Autrey repositioned the man so that his body would be between the tracks rather than across the tracks and then climbed on top oF him to hold him down as the train sped over them. There was only a clearance oF half an inch between the top oF Autrey’s head and the train bottom, which could have decapitated him iF the man he was pressing down had pushed him up. A Few weeks later a similar event occurred in a New York City subway station but there a bystander who had heard of Autrey’s brave (but impetuous) deed, and learned how to deal more wisely with that situation.
