Poland prepares to stand its ground with a massive new civil defence programme.
As it races to become NATO’s frontline fortress against Russia, Poland has launched large-scale civilian courses teaching survival skills during times of crisis.
The programme is intended to help bridge the gap between the military and society while psychologically preparing civilians for war.

"We don't need a traditional military to be doing that job, right? That's a coast guard job ... You could have an entirely different force doing that stuff ... We could even have ... a disaster management/ coast guard/ [anti-]poaching protection force ... You don't need javelin missiles or any of that nonsense for that."

It could be an umbrella for firefighting and Search & Rescue services too.

Maybe a sensible government would be swap the budgets for military defence and Civil Defence at this point? Requiring any defence purchases to be suitable for the latter, since that's what they're going to be used for almost all the time.
In the rare event Aotearoa needs military defence, the armed forces could requisition the gear they need from CD. But natural disasters have killed far more kiwis in the last 100 years than military threats.

Big love to everyone around Te Whanganui-a-Tara who is coping with the extreme weatherbomb hitting the area over the last couple of days, and apparently forecast to continue today;
You folks are in my thoughts. If there's anything folks in The Tron and elsewhere who haven't been hit so hard can do for you - *anything* please sing out! I'll see what I can organise, even if it means heading up there.
