Dear friends: Florida Governor Rick Scott and Mississippi Governor Phil Bryant Declare States of Emergency as Subtropical Storm Alberto approaches. “If any Florida family doesn’t have an emergency preparedness plan, NOW IS THE TIME TO ACT" Gov. Scott said. Remember, the track of these storms can change without notice. Do not think that only areas in the cone will be impacted – everyone in our state must be prepared." The emergency declarations free up state resources to respond to the storm if necessary. Gov. Bryant announced the disaster declaration on Twitter saying that the National Guard would be made available to respond if necessary." This is the kind of response we are proposing in this petition for California but at a MUCH LARGER SCALE AND AT A MUCH URGENT PACE to be ready way before disaster strikes and to make the systemic transformations necessary to mitigate Climate Change. Climate Change has to be upgraded from a subject of discussion to an organizing principle to reorganize our societies and economies around. Keep on demanding the Climate Major Disaster Declarations. The Climate is changing faster than even the more pessimistic scientists have predicted
