FEMA quietly removes access to New England coastal erosion hazard tool

Planners and resilience experts say long-term erosion maps had been critical

commonwealthbeacon.org/environ

The Coastal Erosion Hazard viewer on the Federal Emergency Management Agency website "predicted erosion risk across the coast for the years 2030, 2050, and 2100, and until recently was publicly accessible."

In March 2025, heavy rain in Queensland, #Australia caused severe flooding across the Australian outback. Some areas got more than a year's worth of rain in a week, leading to rising waters in Channel Country. Small towns and farms in southwestern Queensland were left underwater.

During the thaw period in spring, it is not recommended to go on hiking trails in the woods. Not only are the conditions incredibly muddy, so if several hikers use a trail it can get very easily damaged, but also this could harm vegetation and small ecosystems that are barely waking up from the winter.

But as we still need to get outside, there are other options. These are from a small trip to a couple of birdwatching sites nearby Yamachiche and the lovely Parc Écomaritime de l'Anse du Port (south from Trois Rivières).

We did see a great variety of birds, but they didn't give their consent for image. Maybe next time.

🙏 Mutual aid request for a former classmate in Texas!
"Hello my name is Zeus Borrego and I am a 12th Grade AP Computer Science Teacher in the Rio Grande Valley. Unfortunately I was caught in the flooding that happened on March 27th 2025 and my car was severely damaged. I’m raising funds to help cover emergency car repairs and basic living expenses while I recover financially. Due to the flooding my car now has several issues with the airbags, electronics, and safety systems. I’ve already spent $120 on a new airbag module, and repairs are estimated to cost ~$2,000.

On top of this, I need support covering essential bills while my car is being repaired. My portion of rent and utilities, groceries, car insurance, car payment, and credit card minimums come to about $2,000 per month. I’m aiming to raise enough to cover these costs for 2 months while I get back on my feet."
