href="http://www.governing.com/topics/finance/gov-craig-fugate-fema-states-disaster.html">FEMA's
Plan to Make States Pay More for Disasters</a></b></font><br>
<blockquote> <font size="-1">It's one of the many ideas and
practices that Craig Fugate, the agency's outgoing leader, hopes
the Trump administration will adopt. Among the others: rescuing
pets...</font><br>
<font size="-1"> Now, Fugate is pushing one more change, one that
could fundamentally alter the federal government’s relationship
with states and localities when disaster strikes. He wants to
impose "disaster deductibles" on states as a way to control the
spiraling cost of them for the federal government as well as
incentivize states to prevent and prepare for disasters....</font><br>
<font size="-1"> "The current system is basically all-or-nothing,"
Fugate told Governing. "It treats all states the same. It
doesn’t recognize states that do things to buy down future risk,
and it doesn’t do anything to provide incentives to states [to
mitigate disaster risks]."..</font><br>
<font size="-1"> Fugate and FEMA first raised the issue and asked
for comments in January. Now that the agency has collected those
responses, FEMA plans to issue a more detailed proposal by the
end of the year. That would leave any final decision to Fugate’s
successor in the Donald Trump administration, who has yet to be
named.</font><br>
<font size="-1"> . There have been 13 disasters since 2000 that
have each cost FEMA more than $500 million, and FEMA’s
disaster-relief budget now exceeds $5 billion a year — more than
double what it was at the beginning of the Obama administration.</font><br>
<font size="-1"> Fugate, a Democrat who has been the head of FEMA
for the entire Obama administration, will be stepping down from
the role this January. It’s a decision, he said, that he made
before he knew the results of the presidential election.</font><br>

Why Trump needs to appoint a pro to head FEMA</a><br>
<blockquote> <font size="-1">Eleven years ago, the shameful
response to Hurricane Katrina was dubbed a "failure of
initiative." While managing relief sites along the Mississippi
Gulf Coast, I saw how a country that was capable of "shock and
awe" overseas failed to marshal and coordinate the awesome
assets of this nation to help Americans during their darkest
hours. The post-disaster autopsy pointed to many causes,
including inept political appointees at the helm of agencies
with life-saving responsibilities.<br>
...As Donald Trump considers whom to appoint to head FEMA, he
should look for a pro, not a political appointee whom he might
want to reward for loyalty. A "disaster-tested" state or federal
emergency manager is a good choice for the FEMA administrator
role. These are the people who have connections, understand the
complexities of federal and state bureaucracies, and know how to
navigate them to make things happen.</font><br>

...Climate science isn't just physics and chemistry. Of course
it's not. It is geology, ecology, meteorology, economics, and
many other disciplines rolled into one. Unfortunately, it is
also politics. Same as every other science—even the ones that
haven't been under assault for the past few decades. And perhaps
more than any other discipline, climate science is making
outstanding contributions to humankind—if only humankind will
listen. That is Nobel-worthy.</div>

Conference: Sharing big, hard ideas with many kinds of people (AGU
Workshop)</a><br>
<blockquote> <font size="-1">Communicating scientific findings can
be daunting, especially when it's with people who don't work in
your field or have no science background. But sharp
communication skills are critical for today's scientists. In
this workshop, three science communicators will discuss how
they're using communications to reach beyond their usual
audiences, and why such experiences are valuable. Some are
participating in the Up-Goer-5 challenge, inspired by cartoonist
Randall Munroe (xkcd) and supported by AGU. One is a podcaster,
and another a radio personality and research institute director
who teaches communications skills to early career researchers
(sometimes clandestinely).</font><br>
