How prepared are American cities for increased natural disasters? Over the years, Americans have insisted on expanding and building cities and suburbs in locations that are clearly threatened by natural hazards. This week’s monster tornado in Oklahoma demonstrates this. Cities and states have encouraged people to live in these areas through city planning, architectural design, and the so-called need for “economic development.”
 
Thus, instead of encouraging people to not live in these hazard zones, city leaders have created methods to help people survive relatively normal lives there. Houses in California must meet specific earthquake design standards, buildings in Oklahoma have “safe rooms,” and countless structures must be stable enough to handle floods and erosion along American coastlines. These are adaptations. Not good adaptations (I believe people should not be encouraged to live in these areas), but there it is.
 
With the climate changing, the impacts on communities are likely to increase. Incidences of natural disasters are expected to rise, costing many lives and causing a need for an endless stream of disaster aid.
 
Researchers at MIT teamed up with the non-profit ICLEI to survey cities around the world. The goal was to compare how they were adapting to climate change impacts, or preparing for future impacts. Progress, the researchers found, is very slow in the US, while cities around the world are far more advanced. 
 
It’s a great read, very visual so if you don’t have time you can skim it.

…conservatives have bastardized the concept of the American Dream, and progressives largely have let them get away with it.

Stories to Watch: 5/21/13.
 Not surprisingly, the tornado that leveled Moore, Oklahoma has been categorized as an EF5 — the worst possible.

 In a case of amazingly good timing, a woman finds her dog safe and sound in the tornado debris — during an interview with a CBS reporter. It’s a heartwarming moment amid the heartbreaking horror.

 Steve Benen takes a look at a statement by Oklahoma Sen. James Inhofe and concludes that he’s probably not as willing to take his own voters hostage to budget cuts as Tom Coburn is. Still, the possibility that Oklahomans have been duped into electing two such monsters is alarming.

 And somewhat related to that “monster” link: I plan on adding Charlie Pierce to the superfeed. Not immediately, but when I get around to it. It’s a little bit of a process.

 The NRA has a bit of an incoherence problem. After arguing that guns don’t kill people, movies kill people, the organization’s magazine publishes a listicle of the top ten “Coolest Gun Movies.”

 An appeals court permanently blocks Arizona’s restrictive abortion law. Republicans pass these laws to invite court challenges, with the hope of overturning Roe v. Wade. Tt turned out to be an expensive waste of everyone’s time that these things always are. What they do manage to do is prove that GOP ideological claims are bullshit. Throwing money at doomed quests to overturn Roe isn’t fiscal conservatism and forcing women to give birth against their will for the short time the laws stand isn’t a triumph of liberty and small, limited government.

 Immigration reform takes a step forward. The victory comes at a shameful cost, however.

 Finally, check out Wolf Blitzer’s awkward TV moment.

Finding some way to offset is not the priority,” said Sen.
