Help me cover hurricanes » Yale Climate Connections ‣ Diverse Daily

Folks,

Season after season, readers like you have shown me that you value my coverage of hurricanes and other extreme weather. You’ve used it to stay informed and keep your loved ones safe. Now, I’m asking for your help to keep this coverage going and growing.

Today is the final day of our fundraiser for extreme weather coverage, and we’re hoping to add a few more donors to help us hit our $10,000 matching challenge. Will you be one of them?

We know that this is a time of great uncertainty, so anything you can spare is appreciated, but if you can become a monthly donor at $15 a month or make a one-time donation of $50, that would make a huge difference to our essential hurricane coverage. Your donation will be matched dollar-for-dollar up to $10,000 by a generous Eye on the Storm reader, making your impact go twice as far.

“When Eta and Iota hit Nicaragua in 2020, many rumors were spread about the storms, their trajectory, intensity, winds,” one Yale Climate Connections reader wrote. “But the information shared in this blog helped me fact-check all the rumors to those around me to calm them down and prepare for the storms.”

If you become a monthly donor by midnight today, you’ll be invited to join an exclusive conversation with Editor-in-Chief Sara Peach, meteorologist Irene Sans, and me over Zoom later this season. To sign up, make sure you’ve selected the “recurring” option on the donation form. (Note that if you set up your donation to be anonymous, we won’t have your information to invite you to the conversation.)

We receive no direct funding from Yale University, so your support makes a huge difference.

If you’d rather donate by check, make it out to “Yale University” and write “For Yale Climate Connections” on the check. Mail it to: Yale Climate Connections, Yale University, Attn: Development office, 205 Prospect Street, New Haven, CT 06511

Yale University is a nonprofit 501(c)3. Its federal tax ID is 06-0646973.

Thanks for your support as we prepare for the storms ahead.
