preparedness

"Lucy Easthope, a professor risk and hazard at the University of Durham, says the EU's plan is borrowed directly from Australia, and the experiences of those living in regional communities prone to bushfires or flooding."

The EU has officially advised us to pack for 72 hours of independent survival in case of "emergency." You don't need to stretch your imagination very far to imagine what that emergency might be. Just do it, please.

Start a go-bag today: docs in copy, meds, food, water.

Here's a bugout-bag guide with a more robust list:

#introduction I'm a #queer #academic #metadata #librarian in the trenches of #DigitalLibraries & #DigitalArchives fighting the infowars. Into building #community #preparedness staying #healthy. Burner who no longer goes to TTITD. Supporter of arts, humanities, #science with too many hobbies and interests. Fuck fascism up the nose. Love one another.

A rough starting point to organize what to take if you have to evacuate.

Some folks who are interested in being more prepared for disaster or emergency situations are interested in using HAM/amateur radio as a communication tool you can use when cell & internet networks are down.

I did some research on getting licensed (in the US) & learning to operate HAM radios this summer and finally got the notes I sent as an email to some local friends typed up for easier reference on my blog.

So, one of the items I'm planning to invest in for #PowerOutages is a #Solar #CellPhone charger with #USB (rather than trying to charge them using the car) -- since the phones are a way to keep in touch with the outside world (in addition to battery-operated radios). If there's enough wattage on the charger, I could potentially run my PC laptop (that has a DVD drive) and watch movies (can't do that with a Mac). Reading books is great to do during the day, but at night, it's been nice to be able to watch a movie (usually a comedy).

If I don't follow you back or have unfollowed you, don't take offense.

I try to keep my feed on this account to content I can share, ie. #Covid, #SARSCoV2 #AirQuality, #ClimateChange, #Earthquakes, #Preparedness, etc.

I typically follow back as it were, from my non #Doomy account unless you're one of the above.

Currently doing some housekeeping. Please excuse the mess.
