Extreme Weather Survivors
@weathersurvivors.bsky.social
A nationwide community of people directly harmed by disasters like wildfires, floods, extreme heat, deadly air pollution, drought, and hurricanes.
Too many survivors are left with the short end of the stick after we held up our end of the bargain, paying our insurance premiums each month. If insurance can’t help us after disaster, then what’s the point of having insurance to begin with? Survivors deserve support we can rely on.
Join our free online community to connect with people across the country who get what you’re going through. It’s free, built for survivors, + built to stay that way: ewsurvivors.org/launchweek

It’s terrifying to see so many of us have the same stories, the same struggles. It’s not us that’s broken – it’s our systems. That’s why we’ve been building a survivor community for the past 3 years – because the only way to get the recovery we deserve is to change the system ourselves.

Honoring all the lives that were lost to the July 4 Texas floods – for all those found and not found, searched for and not searched for. Thank you to the incredible Sandy Creek community for this memorial – we will always remember all the loved ones taken from us too soon.
The anniversary date of a weather disaster can bring a complex mix of grief and gratitude. Know that everything you’re feeling is valid, and you’re not alone. Here are some coping strategies to keep in mind as you navigate this difficult time.
One of the worst parts about being impacted by extreme weather is that you never think it’ll happen to you, until it does. That’s why so many of us speak up, because we know if it can happen to us, it can happen to anyone. Please stay safe and take this heat wave seriously.
