🌊 Let's talk about something: We don't need another startup building "the world's most accurate flood model." A thread 🧵 tl;dr 👉 Stop chasing marginal gains in flood depth accuracy and start building the smart, human-centered tools that actually save properties and lives. #FloodRisk #Stormwater

Today, we’re officially introducing Kagi News: a once-a-day press review that cuts through the noise. Global stories, community-curated sources, and zero tracking. Links below 👇

Nordic noir…

Nice example for the importance of #Accessibility in #RiskCommunication. Wondering if there are more? Is there something for #FloodRisks as well?

Google Earth has updated imagery of Ukraine's Mariupol - which has been under Russian occupation since May 2022. This is the Drama Theatre, bombed by Russia in March 2022, where hundreds died. All evidence of the strike has since been wiped away. Location: 47.0960, 37.54871

Train views…

Nice visualisation of potential #FloodRisks due to heavy rain...

Funnily enough this morning's #NCKF talk @dmidk.bsky.social was also on this topic, though on the difference in persistent warming to different climate forcers: specifically methane and nitrous oxide Vs. CO2. Great work by Joe Nielsen who wrote a nice piece on it in Danish on Weekend Avisen.

You voted for him, America. And from the lack of outrage, it looks like you want to keep him. 🤷‍♂️

We’re all gonna die!

A new model formulation for fast, high-res (<3m), physics-based flood simulation over large areas (> 1,000 km2) with groundwater interactions and hydraulic structures. More work to come informing adaptation in both Miami and Los Angeles. w/ @katharinemach.bsky.social doi.org/10.1016/j.ad...

Does anybody have experience creating 3D vector illustrations via AI generators? I try to visualise a person staying inside a isometric water cube and the water level should be adjustable depending on a #flood scenario. But mostly all of the generators don't get the 3D positions/perspectives right.

Counterpoint: If you use Grok for emergency info you deserve to be swept away by a tsunami

🤔Did you know that #flooding can come from various sources? 💧It's not just #rivers! Groundwater, surface water and sewer floods are also common. Download our resource to learn more➡️ thefloodhub.co.uk/wp-content/u...

Phew... hopefully the Suns keep this dark story in mind during the rebuild. You can't buy the finals!

Thank you, Brad.

I took a different approach to telling the forecast in today's newsletter. I may not have the opportunity in every 2-minute TV update, but it's a small thing to add to my articles. I hope others will consider similar strategies to underscore what's at stake.

Indian cities have stormwater drain systems but poor management and unregulated construction leaves them incapable of functioning. Vaishnavi Rathore looks at the example of Delhi to understand why Indian cities flood within hours of monsoon rains. scroll.in/article/1083...

Publishing should feel special! Sometimes you gotta do things for the vibes — so @cozylittle.house added a custom animation with planets & stars representing how many posts you've published One post = a star; ten posts = a planet…over time, your pub generates its own little starscape! ✨🌗🪐

This is amazing and brave. They tried to officially ban Pride after trying to kill it with a million pricks. The Project 2025 playbook has been field tested.

Ein buntes Abenteuer und ein spannender Start in ein neues Leben. So verkauft die EU-Grenzagentur Frontex Kindern und Jugendlichen ihre Abschiebung in einer perfiden Broschüre. Wen es da nicht schüttelt vor Abscheu, der hat kein Herz. Ein Kommentar. netzpolitik.org/2025/frontex...

What is the easiest way to get a #3DModel of a house on a web map? Is there a way to scan a house via phone or so and put it then on a map? I would like to visualise flood depth on a real model to see the impact on doors/windows/etc... Any hints? #GISchat #FloodRisk

You know that GNSS spoofing is bad in the Red Sea, when the navigational aids decide to move inland (in the wrong country).

Flood risk rises due to climate change: A study highlights the need for better flood protection, river restoration, and early warning systems. It shows how "cut-off lows" (COLs) linger longer, causing heavy rainfall and increasing flooding risk. buff.ly/SF0LOua
