La Palma began erupting on September 19, 2021.How do you deal with your own mental health? What do you escape to when you need a break? Is it artistic? In the next issue of #haznet there will be (among other things) A focus on ART and wellbeing.
If you have been working on a painting, sculpture, or a poem, and you feel ready to share it with the wider world, please be in touch. In addition to the artistic work, we welcome a short 100-250 word artist statement.

How to Contribute Thank you for your interest in submitting an article for publication in HazNet. HazNet Magazine serves as the information dissemination platform of the Canadian Risks and Hazards Network. The magazine is published biannually, both online and in limited hard copy format. The magazin...I've been enamored with the Aurora Borealis lights for a long time but more so since COVID, and have really enjoyed the hunt and capture... while it's not necessarily artistic, it's been a great adventure. Learning more about weather systems, becoming part of a great community and exploring new areas that I've not been to before. It's also been great to learn more about how different cultures view them. The Romans associated the Northern Lights with a new day believing them to be Aurora, the goddess of dawn. Many Indigenous peoples believed that the lights were spirits of these departed friends and relatives trying to communicate with those they had left behind on earth. The Estonians believed the lights to be magnificent horse drawn carriages carrying heavenly guests to a spectacular celestial wedding. One thing I've been told was never whistle at the lights! The biggest faux pas you can commit while viewing the Northern Lights is to wave, sing or whistle at them. Alerted to your presence, the spirits of the lights will come down and take you away. Anyway, this new hobby has been great for my mental health, and here is one of my fav captures from March 2021

"Whether it's engineers or planners, we're all having a 'told-you-so moment,' and that moment is useful in a way," said Lilia Yumagulova, a resilience scholar who wrote her University of B.C. PhD thesis on Metro Vancouver's flood management system.
Yumagulova is one of many hoping this crisis is a turning point in getting higher levels of government to commit to changes — both in funding and governance structure — that could improve the chances of avoiding a greater flooding disaster in the future. "

Flood management in B.C. is left up to municipalities. Should it be? | CBC News
www.cbc.ca
Year after year, reports have been issued and warnings given that B.C.’s flood management system was haphazard and in need of upgrades or reform.Interesting

Some land owners and municipalities are calling on the province to repair and upgrade more than 175 dikes after flooding ravaged parts of B.C. As @BradyStrachan reports, these aging structures are considered 'orphaned' because no government is taking responsibility for them.
