TROY, MI, USA, February 4, 2024 —
The Creative Society, a dedicated organization focused on community engagement and climate issues, is proud to announce a free community event, “Be Ready When Disaster Strikes”. This informative and engaging session is set to take place on Saturday, February 10, 2024, from 9:15 AM to 11:30 AM at the Chief Financial Credit Union Community Room, located at 751 East Big Beaver Road, Troy, MI 48083.
This timely event comes in response to the increasing impact of climate change and the need for preparedness against natural disasters. A highlight of the event includes a presentation by a distinguished lieutenant from the Troy Fire Department, offering vital safety tips and preparedness strategies.
Attendees can look forward to a comprehensive program covering the following areas:
A briefing on current national and global climate events
Findings from 27 years of independent multidisciplinary scientific research
A forecast of how climate and environmental changes could affect health, finances, living conditions, and social dynamics over the next 5-7 years.

The event will also feature an interactive FAQ session, networking opportunities, and complimentary refreshments and coffee.
Local television stations and members of the press are cordially invited to attend the event. This opportunity is extended to ensure broad coverage and to amplify the vital message of community preparedness against climatic events.
The gravity of climatic events in the U.S. is underscored by data from The National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI), which reveals that since 1980, the country has experienced 376 weather and climate disasters where damages reached or exceeded $1 billion each, adjusting for inflation to 2023. The cumulative cost of these events surpasses $2.655 trillion, highlighting an alarming increase in both the frequency and severity of these disasters over the past four decades. This trend underscores the pressing need for urgent action and preparedness to mitigate future impacts.
Some of the latest 2024 climate events include:
