If you’ve been through extreme weather, you know that the costs of are far greater than what most people can see. That’s why survivors need a seat at the table – because communities across the country are living through the same long, difficult process of trying to rebuild our lives after disaster.

When the derecho (severe straight-line winds) hit Gary, IN last month, it proved what too many of us already know. When disaster hits, you can count on your neighbors, but not your gov't. Survivors deserve better support – especially in Black communities that have been historically neglected.

A person is standing next to a parked car, smiling while another individual carries boxes toward a grocery cart. The scene is outdoors, with trees and grass in the background. The heading reads, "Gary Residents Survived a Historic Blackout by Turning to One Another." The image is credited to Scott Olson from Getty Images. The publication is Capital B.

A fallen tree rests on a fence in a residential area affected by power outages. Several individuals stand nearby, observing the damage. Text overlays detail the impact of the August 11 derecho, which caused significant power outages in Northwest Indiana, particularly in Gary. A caption notes the slow response in predominantly Black communities during such disasters.

Back-to-school season sure doesn’t look like what it used to. Has this heat impacted you or your community this season? How are you dealing?

Image showing headlines about schools closing due to heat. Mentions several schools in Northeast Ohio and West Michigan closing or having half days. Pittsburgh schools are also canceling classes due to rising temperatures. Another part of the image reflects on how back-to-school season is changing due to extreme heat.

Text on an orange background reads: "41% of schools in the U.S. don't have adequate AC - and it would cost $40 billion to update all of them."

When it’s this hot out, students are more likely to miss school. And for students in class, the heat makes it harder to learn.

Red background with bold white text stating: "The only options for recess are: a) stay inside b) play outside and risk getting sick from the heat.*" Below, smaller text reads: "*Heat is the deadliest form of extreme weather, and kids have a higher risk for health issues from extreme heat.
