Today, @CountyofTulare will vote on its local hazard mitigation plan—a plan that fails to identify key vulnerabilities and address residents’ concerns in the wake of recent storms and flooding throughout the County. As temperatures continue to rise, water sources become depleted, and #extremeweather events become more common, vulnerable communities will face the harsh reality of years of disinvestment and scarcity of resources to mitigate impacts and build climate resilience.

Planada residents invited state legislators to Merced last month to share their experiences living less than a mile away from a dairy with more than 8,000 cows. Just days prior, Planada was evacuated due to flooding. twitter.com/i/web/status/1… On top of displacement and property concerns, residents worried about the possibility of increased water contamination from manure lagoons at the dairy during and following the flooding. The same dairy plans to expand its herd size with 1,700 more cows.

TONIGHT ‼️ @CityofFresno Planning Commission will consider approving plans for a Coca-Cola distribution center that will bring more polluting industry to South Central Fresno. We're calling on the Commission to vote NO on the project as planned. Coca-Cola's profits last year: $6.5 billion
Yearly gas/diesel truck & car mileage generated by South Central Fresno distribution center: 4 million+
Electric vehicle commitment: zero
Benefits to community: zero

As the #drought gets worse, there’s a lot of misinformation about drinking water going around. We thought we’d help correct the record: 1. Most rural communities in the San Joaquin Valley rely solely on groundwater for drinking water. Fixing canals like Friant-Kern, or reducing flows to the Delta, will not help with access to drinking water in the vast majority of DACs.
