WaterISAC is the only all-threats security information source for the water and wastewater sector. Members provide water and wastewater service to most of the United States, as well as in Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Membership is also open to organizations in the U.K. and the Netherlands. WaterISAC is a non-profit organization, governed by a board of managers comprising water and wastewater utility managers and state drinking water administrators who are appointed by the partner organizations shown above. Built from the ground up to serve the water sector, WaterISAC is uniquely positioned to understand and support the sector’s needs. Read more.

                                                    In this episode of The Gate 15 Interview, Andy Jabbour visits with Dr. Jeff Masters. Jeff Masters, Ph.D., worked as a hurricane scientist with the NOAA Hurricane Hunters from 1986-1990. After a near-fatal flight into category 5 Hurricane Hugo, he left the Hurricane Hunters to pursue a safer passion - earning a 1997 Ph.D. in air pollution meteorology from the University of Michigan. In 1995, he co-founded the Weather Underground, and served as its chief meteorologist and on its Board of Directors until it was sold to the Weather Company in 2012. Between 2005-2019, his Category 6 blog was one of the Internet’s most popular and widely quoted sources of extreme weather and climate change information. He now frequently writes for YALE Climate Connections.
                                                    On Twitter: @DrJeffMasters
                                                    In the discussion we address:
                                                    Jeff’s incredible Hurricane Hugo experience.
                                                    Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Report and going beyond the ‘planetary boundaries of safe operation for the planet.’
                                                    Jeff’s important ideas to understand about climate change.
                                                    Jeff discusses his two biggest climate concerns - the disruptive threats from sea level rise and drought, including:
                                                    A potential ‘massive financial threat to the US.’ Jeff says, ‘we’re not correctly pricing risk…there threatens to be a shakeout in the…market’ and he notes insurance company struggles in Florida, Louisiana and California as examples before discussing the potential cascading effects associated with humans fleeing from the coasts.
                                                    Threats to critical infrastructure, including real estate, water and wastewater, transportation and supply chains.
                                                    And he explains his concerns about drought impacting food prices and leading to famine.
                                                    Hurricane season 2023, an anticipated El Nino year, perhaps something that may look like the 2018 hurricane season.
                                                    Plus! Devo, getting outdoors, watermelon, and the beauty of the Havasupai Canyon.

                                                    Originally published in Weatherwise magazine, Hunting Hugo was made available in digital form, complete with the many photos I took on the flight, on the web site I co-founded, Weather Underground. A separate account of the flight was written by a reporter from Barbados who was on the flight, and was published in my Weather Underground blog in 2009. There was a 45-minute episode of “Air Crash Investigation” (AKA “Mayday”) on the Hugo flight called “Into the Eye of the Storm” that aired in 2014. Several hundred thousand dollars was spent on the episode, which included CGI effects, a set built in Toronto to simulate the flight, and actors playing the crew and scientists. In 2022, the video was available with a paid subscription to Paramount Plus. The video was also available for free at apparat.com.

                                                    On the latest episode of Nerd Out, Dave goes solo to talk about behavioral analytics, recent reporting and how to merge those together to deliver insights and develop appropriate plans. It's one thing to have the data, and it's one thing to have the reports that point to various types of behaviors, but merging them together can be a challenge. Dave also talks to the ways to develop the data if you don't have a tool. Dave wraps up by giving some thoughts on what he is seeing from the ever expanding extended universes. Is there a reason to be concerned? Could he be losing interest?
