Reading list of the day

Sorry for the radio silence lately. Work, lovely weather, friends in town and general stress-related activities have made my internet time less productive.

Two different items about relocating to prevent future disasters, one on the East Coast post-Irene:

After the Flood: Hard choices for communities and citizens

and one about an island village in Alaska:

As waves lap at their doorsteps, Alaskan islanders take on climate polluters

Also, I have an interview at FEMA on Thursday before I fly out to Charlotte for my friend's wedding. Wish me luck!
