Many of you have asked me about this. What is going on with the drought in the southwest? We are going to be talking about the Deadpool today.

Hello everyone. Chris Martinson here with an update for you. And today we're going to be talking about the drought in the Southwest.

I know, I know, I know. You're just like, how much bad news can you take? It seems like

everywhere you turn around, there's just another predicament that we're facing. But they are all

connected. And all of them, when you follow them back, lead to this one central idea that it is

time for you to become more resilient. Time for me to become more resilient. It's time time for you to become more resilient.

Time for me to become more resilient. It's time for us together to be more resilient.

And by resilient, that's our ability to spring back from adversity and or to face new challenging times with the greatest amount of thriving possible.

So that's what I really care about. I care about you.

I care about you thriving. I want to help. Here's my model. Good information that's actionable so that

you can take actions before things happen when it can be harder to react to those. Quick

example might be an earthquake, right? So if you know earthquakes are a possibility, and you should, if you live on a fault, but you are one of the 97% of the people who do not prepare for an earthquake. Well, when one happens, you're less resilient in that moment. You don't have a 48-hour emergency kit. You don't have any means of communicating. You haven't developed a plan with your family as to where your rally points are. You don't know anything, right? You've got to figure it all out on the fly. So that means you're surviving, scrambling, but not in a position to help others and or do better for yourself and your family and loved ones. So that's what I care about. I want to help you survive and thrive. So let's look at this now. Deadpool,

tell you what that means in just a second. We know that there's this mega drought underway in

the American Southwest. And when you look at those colors as they go from white means things are

kind of cool, all the way, you know, there's no drought all the way up to yellow kind of abnormally dry tan moderate drought orange now we're talking

severe drought and we went through a severe drought here two years ago and

that was scary because as they say in the farming community you know the

wet will scare you if it's too wet, but the dry will kill you.

So drought is something that's unsurvivable for plants and for farming. It's very difficult,

obviously. And then we get up to red, which is extreme drought. I mean, that's really bad. I've

been through one of those here yet myself. And then we've got exceptional drought, which is that darkest, darkest maroon color.

So look at all the dark.
