Let’s Not Have a War
No one will say it out loud, but the greatest argument against U.S. support for military action of any kind in Ukraine is the inerrant incompetence of our missions and the consistent record of destabilizing areas of strategic interest through our involvement...
#Hurricanes, cold waves, #tornadoes: #Weather #disasters in #USA dominate natural #disaster losses in 2021
The images of natural disasters in 2021 are disturbing. Climate research increasingly confirms that extreme weather has become more likely. Societies need to urgently adapt to increasing weather risks and make climate #protection a priority. Insurers meet their responsibilities by covering a portion of the risks and losses. By applying risk-adequate premiums, they put a price on natural hazards, thereby encouraging carefully considered behaviour to limit the losses. At the same time, severe volcanic eruptions and earthquakes in 2021 showed that we should not overlook these categories of natural disasters either.

‘This new snow has no name’: Sami reindeer herders face climate disaster
“Our #livelihoods #depend on a #planet that is not on #fire. We are an #Arctic #people and our #culture is written in #snow. But #climate-change means the snow will get less and less. We must realise we can’t #overconsume our planet. This is #urgent. We need to #listen to all the #indigenous people in the #world who know how to #live in #harmony with the planet.”

Artemis - A cellular geolocation system from an aircraft to locate the phone of a person in distress at up to 35 km range without network coverage
Artemis can be used to locate the phone of a person in distress. It can operate in local network coverage, or where there is poor or no coverage at all. Artemis can locate any powered mobiles in a disaster area. Options include: Sending texts to everyone in the area, receiving messages & calls from those in need of assistance.
For border security type operations, it can detect and locate phones in offshore boats (people smuggling). Generating alerts from phones in restricted areas, border intrusions etc.
It obviously operates as a type of Stingray device (faking being a cellular tower) to encourage the phone to connect to it, it identifies the phone, and determines the location from single strength plottings as the aircraft is flying in a pattern. Obviously, it is ideal for finding people lost in wilderness conditions. It has an accuracy of around 10 - 20 m.

Hi, I’m Disaster Bot - An Indonesian mapping platform is turning social media chatter into life-saving information during natural disasters
Jakarta floods, and Jakartans tweet. When they wake up in the morning and see the thick smog of car exhaust and coal fumes outside the window, they tweet. When they realize the road is blocked because of high water, they tweet.
Today, if a Twitter user in Jakarta tweets the word “banjir,”which means flood in Indonesian, they get a jaunty response from a Twitter account with the handle u/PetaBencana: “Hi, I’m Disaster Bot. To report flooding near you, reply with #flood.” If they do that, the bot will send them a link to a site where they can locate the flood on a map, report how high the water is, and submit a photo of the damage. PetaBencana’s success in Indonesia, where it is now used by government agencies, NGOs, and ordinary citizens, has led to it being adopted in the Philippines, Hong Kong and Vietnam.
Perfect sort of bot to be developed as part of hackathon events to crowdsource citizen reports.

The #GAR #Special #Report on #Drought #2021 calls for immediate action to #reduce drought risks. Thinking ahead and acting in advance of drought has far lower costs than reacting and responding to the impacts once drought hits.

The Fukushima Nuclear Disaster and Its Tragic Aftermath
The worst nuclear accident in history
"The traditionally close-mouthed Japanese bureaucrats have been far less truthful and much more evasive about the gravity of the Fukushima nuclear crisis than the Russians ever were about their Chernobyl disaster."
