The weatherman from a local news station mentioned that it is rare for this event to be this late in the year and this far north. This brings a real interesting topic to light. How will we know to change mitigation strategies change in light of global climate change? I am not declaring this as an event of global warming, but if we see severity in weather events increase rapidly, how could we plan effective strategies to minimize damage? Being proactive is the first step and an important concept to learn from studying hazard mitigation.
