AROUND 6 A.M. on the morning of Sept. 9, 1942, Forest Service lookout Howard Gardner heard the sound of an approaching airplane. Peering out into the South Coast pre-dawn gloaming light, Gardner made out a small seaplane, heading toward him, flying low, circling. Showtime! This was what Gardner was here for, bundled up in the little Forest Service firewatch lookout shack atop Mt. Emily. Nine months into the Second World War, Gardner's duties had expanded a bit from what they had been a year before. Now he was looking not only for smoke from forest fires, but for enemy airplanes. And right then, that's exactly what he was looking at. (Brookings, Curry County; 1940s) (For text and pictures, see https://offbeatoregon.com/2402a-0907b.glovebox-bomb-031.634.html)

Kate Adie introduces stories from Brazil, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Singapore, Oman and Vietnam.The Amazon rain forest in Brazil has suffered its worst fires in two decades, with most started illegally by humans looking to exploit the land for its resources. The world relies on the Amazon to absorb a lot of its carbon, but these fires mean it is now emitting record amounts itself. Ione Wells has been in Brazil's west.The Democratic Republic of Congo is one of the world's most biodiverse countries, though decades of war and deforestation have led to the degradation of the environment. But a group of scientists is trying to revitalise a forgotten reserve in Haut-Katanga province. Hugh Kinsella Cunningham travelled with them to the Upemba National Park.Singapore has a zero-tolerance policy on illegal drugs, and is one of only a few countries that continues to execute people convicted of drug trafficking. For those caught using illicit narcotics, the punishments can also be severe. Linda Pressly met recovering addicts undergoing compulsory treatment in a state-run rehab centre.Oman is growing in popularity as a tourist destination, though the oil-rich sultanate is focusing on its ancient heritage, rather than the hi-tech desert cities of its neighbours. This travel boom is also providing opportunities for women entrepreneurs hoping to break cultural barriers, as Sophia Smith Galer discovered in the Salalah region.And we travel to Vietnam where William Lee Adams embarked on a personal mission while filming a travel documentary - to lay his elder brother's ashes to rest at his family's temple in Ho Chi Minh City.Series producer: Serena Tarling Production coordinators: Sophie Hill & Katie Morrison Editor: Richard Fenton-Smith
Ohhhh the power of the tongue. It's like a fire. Have you ever been burned? I bet you have. Have you ever burned another with your words? Yes, that's true too isn't it?
In the blink of an eye, life can change in ways we never see coming. One of our Seeking Center go-to guides, Animal Communicator and Spiritual Medium Jaime Breeze, recently faced a life-altering event when her home and almost everything she owned were lost in a forest fire. Her community of Jasper in the Canadian Rockies endured one of the area's most significant fires in a century, leaving behind widespread destruction.While Jaime's grief for "what was" is profound, her resilience and unwavering faith are nothing short of inspiring.

In a podcast episode, the host discusses how Burlington, located in Southern Ontario, was once considered resilient to climate change impacts. However, in recent years, vulnerabilities within the community's resiliency have been exposed. The host highlights how extreme weather events, such as heavy rainfall and flooding, have started to affect Burlington. While the city had not previously experienced significant damage from climate change-related events, recent occurrences like Hurricane Beryl and subsequent heavy rainfall have led to flooding, property damage, and disruptions within the community. The episode emphasizes the importance of recognizing and addressing these vulnerabilities to enhance community resiliency in the face of climate change. It discusses the need for proactive planning, infrastructure improvements, and community engagement to mitigate the impacts of climate change on Burlington and similar areas. The experiences shared in the podcast underscore the reality that no community is immune to the effects of climate change. Even in well-developed regions like Burlington, the increasing frequency and intensity of extreme weather events are posing challenges that require immediate attention and action. By acknowledging and responding to these challenges, communities can work towards building greater resilience and adapting to the changing climate conditions. Vulnerabilities in Community Resiliency Exposed by Extreme Weather Events The podcast episode highlights how vulnerabilities in community resiliency are being exposed by extreme weather events, specifically heavy rain and flooding. The host discusses how their community in Burlington, Ontario, had previously been considered resilient to climate change consequences due to the lack of major storms, droughts, or forest fires. However, in recent years, they have experienced significant vulnerabilities in their community's resiliency. The episode describes a recent event where Hurricane Beryl brought heavy rain to the region, causing flooding and exposing weaknesses in the infrastructure. The sudden and intense rainfall led to water accumulation in neighborhoods, resulting in flooded basements and homes. The host mentions instances where fridges were floating in basements, and water levels reached above fence lines, forcing some residents to evacuate. Furthermore, the episode emphasizes the impact of these extreme weather events on individuals, with anecdotal stories of insurance companies not covering damages due to categorizing them as "acts of God" or natural disasters. This lack of coverage adds financial strain to those affected, highlighting the need for improved community resiliency measures. The host also raises concerns about the city's preparedness for future climate change-related events, noting the importance of adapting infrastructure and planning for more frequent and severe storms. The discussion extends to the need for collaboration between community members, local officials, engineers, and organizations to address vulnerabilities and enhance resiliency. Overall, the episode underscores the urgent need to address vulnerabilities in community resiliency exposed by extreme weather events like heavy rain and flooding. It serves as a reminder that even developed countries are not immune to the impacts of climate change and emphasizes the importance of proactive measures to build resilience in the face of changing weather patterns. Building resilience against climate change impacts requires active engagement from community members. In the podcast episode, the host highlighted the importance of seeking answers, getting educated, and engaging with local officials and organizations. Here are some key points to consider: Seeking Answers: Community members should proactively seek information about climate change impacts in their area. This includes understanding the vulnerabilities of their community, such as susceptibility to flooding, extreme weather events, or other consequences of climate change. By asking questions and seeking answers, individuals can better prepare themselves and their community for potential challenges. Getting Educated: Education plays a crucial role in building resilience. By educating themselves about climate change, its impacts, and potential solutions, community members can make informed decisions and take appropriate actions. This knowledge empowers individuals to advocate for sustainable practices, support resilience-building initiatives, and contribute to community preparedness efforts. Engaging with Local Officials and Organizations: Collaboration with local officials, government agencies, and environmental organizations is essential for effective climate change resilience. Community members can engage with these stakeholders to voice their concerns, provide input on resilience strategies, and participate in decision-making processes. By actively participating in local initiatives, individuals can influence policies, advocate for sustainable development practices, and contribute to building a more resilient community. Overall, community engagement is key to enhancing resilience against climate change impacts. By seeking answers, getting educated, and actively engaging with local stakeholders, individuals can play a significant role in preparing their communities for the challenges posed by a changing climate.
