"Quantifiable risk belongs to the casino, the mortality table, and the actuarial ledger. It describes a world where the outcome of an event is unknown, but historical data exists to support a probability estimate. Because the boundaries of the system are fixed, we can use historical data to calculate numerical odds.
Knightian uncertainty, by contrast, considers the unprecedented. It arises when a situation, like climate change, is so novel or complex that history offers no guide. We are pushing the biosphere far outside its Holocene baseline, entering an environment where the variables themselves are changing, and the models used to project future outcomes break down."

Laws Every Scout Should Know
Being a Scout means more than camping, hiking, and earning merit badges. Scouts are also expected to be good citizens who understand the rules and laws that help keep our communities safe and fair. While Scouts are not expected to be lawyers, learning about important laws can help them become informed and responsible leaders. 1. The Scout Law and the Law of the Land The Scout Law teaches Scouts to be Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful, Friendly, Courteous, Kind, Obedient, Cheerful, Thrifty, Brave, […]https://troop161ma.wordpress.com/2026/06/26/laws-every-scout-should-know/

Study Highlights Growing Importance Of Multi-Day Storms In Future U.S. Flood Risk

“Extreme rainfall is projected to intensify as the climate warms, yet whether the greatest increases will occur in multi-day or single-day events remains uncertain. This knowledge gap is particularly pressing given recent catastrophic floods triggered by multi-day rainfall events, prompting the question of whether multi-day events could, in fact, intensify more than their daily counterparts, and by how much. This study addresses this question using an ensemble of 34 downscaled Earth System Models under two Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSP2-4.5 and SSP5-8.5), focusing on changes in extreme rainfall by the end of the century across ten regions of the contiguous United States. [Their] statistical framework evaluates model agreement, ensemble-mean changes, and the significance of these changes for both daily and multi-day rainfall extremes. Results show that extreme rainfall amounts are expected to increase for most regions and durations. The degree of intensification, however, depends strongly on event rarity and regional climate characteristics. Notably, in the U.S. western Gulf Coast region, very rare multi-day events (e.g., 500 year return period) are projected to intensify more than their daily counterparts, a phenomenon that could be explained by increased stalling of tropical cyclones, which can prolong heavy rainfall over multiple days. These results challenge the assumption that daily extremes dominate future risk and highlight the need to consider event duration when updating flood-hazard maps, design standards, and adaptation planning…”

China is testing a megawatt airborne wind turbine that flies high above the ground to tap into stronger and more stable winds.
Instead of a massive tower, the system uses a helium-lifted platform to generate power where wind is more consistent. Developers say this could use far less material than traditional turbines and lower electricity costs once scaled.
What makes it more interesting is the use case beyond energy. The platform can be moved and deployed quickly, making it useful for disaster zones after earthquakes or floods to power lights, radios, and critical equipment.
What are your thoughts on this?

City of Malibu:
Public Safety Commission Special Meeting: Safety Element Update – Wed, Jan. 14
You can help shape the future of public safety in Malibu! Give your input and ask questions about the draft updates to the General Plan’s Safety Element at a Special Meeting of the Public Safety Commission on Wednesday, January 14, 5 PM, at City Hall.
Recent state legislation has aimed to align local land use planning with increasing risks from wildfires, flooding, extreme heat, and other climate-driven hazards. Catastrophic events have exposed gaps between planning, emergency management, and infrastructure decisions. Laws including SB 1241 (wildfire), SB 379 (climate adaptation), SB 99 (residential evacuation routes), and AB 747/1409 (evacuation route assessment) guide these updates. ...

#DearLazyWeb: As part of #DisasterPreparedness organizing in the past, our group did a table top exercise to identify gaps in our response capabilities. We were fortunate enough to have someone who worked in public health make one and GM it for us.
I found some from FEMA with some quick searching. Assuming a group of 5-10 people organizing for themselves (and maybe folks in their neighborhoods), are there any exercises/table top simulations like these that other folks would recommend?

I'd be especially interested in anything that considers intentional systemic collapse scenarios, like, "Some jackass shuts down the government and refuses to pay SNAP" and other things like "FEMA doesn't come to help because it's been disbanded by ghouls."

Trump signs order to shift disaster preparations from Fema to state and local governments
Reuters
Tue 18 Mar 2025 22.12 EDT“From day one, the Trump administration has been eroding the nation’s capacity to plan for, respond to, and recover from disasters,” Moore told Reuters.
"'They’ve overseen the dismissal of 1,000 Fema staff – who won’t be there to respond to a flood or wildfire – and are withholding funding from local and state governments who are doing risk reduction projects and more.'
"Shana Udvardy, a senior researcher at the #UnionOfConcernedScientists, said she was concerned the order marked 'another dangerous step' that would leave communities with fewer resources to prepare for future disasters.
"'The executive order shifts most of the responsibility for #DisasterPreparedness to state and local governments, asking them to make more expensive infrastructure investments without outlining the federal role in that,” she said."

THIS is why we need to keep pushing for better ham radio emergency communications (equipment, antenna, radio rooms, expense reimbursement, education) within the PREOC centers in every area. Some scary photos coming out of Hay River tonight.
