Organization Provides Direct Support to Coast Guard Members Impacted by Hurricanes Beryl, Tropical Storm Debby and Other Natural Disasters. The Coast Guard Foundation, a non-profit organization committed to strengthening the Coast Guard community and service by supporting members and families, announced that its emergency disaster relief program is providing vital assistance to Coast Guard members and their families impacted by Hurricanes Beryl, Tropical Storm Debby, and glacial flooding in Juneau, Alaska. The 2024 Atlantic hurricane season has already proven to be one of the most challenging in recent memory. Hurricane Beryl, a powerful Category 1 storm, made landfall in Texas, bringing with it catastrophic winds, flooding and widespread destruction. Shortly after, Tropical Storm Debby followed, bringing damaging wind, heavy rains and flooding to multiple states on the East Coast, including Florida, Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina. Then, just last week, a glacial dam burst releasing floodwaters that damaged more than 100 homes in Alaska.

Recently, I traveled from the town of St. Nazaire in Western France to the island of Rügen in the very northeast of Germany, and back. While I could have flown most of the way, I am dedicated to my climate change action pledge and therefore opted to ride the rails and use public transports for the entirety of my trip. The journey to and from Germany was long, but very comfortable, and much more scenic than I anticipated. I was lucky enough to travel in first class throughout, which although cost more, made a big difference when traveling such a long way.
