As the great white shark population grows off the East coast, scientists are outfitting sharks with sensors to learn more about hurricanes.
AI:Scientists are attempting to transform apex predators into biological weather stations by outfitting growing populations of East Coast great white sharks with electronic sensors. This data collection aims to use shark migration patterns as a predictive tool for hurricane activity, a move that attempts to find scientific utility in shifting oceanic ecosystems.Open
Climate adaptation is increasingly moving from planning to real-world action as heat waves, droughts, wildfires, floods and hurricanes test communities across the U.S. Why it matters: Even if greenhouse gas emissions decline, many communities are already facing more frequent or intense climate extremes, prompting officials to invest in infrastructure designed to reduce future damage. Driving the news: After catastrophic flooding killed more than 130 people in Texas Hill Country last year, newly installed sirens were credited with warning residents during July's floods, which killed three people but avoided a repeat of the 2025 disaster. - It's an example of Republican-led states adapting after disaster, said Alice Hill, senior fellow…

To stretch its funding for disaster relief, FEMA will continue funding many priority efforts, but activities that aren't essential to saving lives are paused.
Wildfires, hurricanes, tornadoes and floods fueled by manmade climate change are changing the housing industry. That's because people seeking to rebuild in disaster-prone regions are turning away from stick-builds and embracing prefabricated homes that can withstand fire and extreme weather.
States say disaster funding from the Federal Emergency Management Agency has slowed to a trickle under the Trump administration. That's delaying projects to protect communities from wildfires and hurricanes.
