#disasterprevention — Public Fediverse posts

While watching the ARROWS #rescueunit (led by a doctor!) on NHK I once again wondered at the world's short-sightedness when it comes to "human capital." I've thought the #UN could recruit #refugees to train and staff #emergency and #disasterprevention, response and recovery teams, or #SustainableDevelopmentGoals teams, with a promise to become citizens somewhere by mutual agreement at the end of their (properly paid, mind you) term of service. There would be provision for recognizing the degrees and certifications of already skilled displaced people; for example, many doctors and nurses turn up stripped of everything and if very lucky get to go back to school to show they can "learn" what they already know. Others could train to build #solar, #wind or #geothermal; still others could do the refugee equivalent of #WWOOFing. They could, until offered settlement in recognition of their service, carry a UN-issued at-large passport; vetted, trained and equipped teams could be inserted with a minimum of fuss after earthquakes, for example, much as we see with the private company shown here after the Noto earthquake in Japan.

None of this replaces simply offering pre-existing services, as there would always be some who would not wish or be able to enter such a program.

The point of having it would be to build up good will in a world that has become so bloody-minded toward out-groups, particularly those who have lost their homes.

I believe I would (if somewhat younger and not saddled with leukemia) want such an opportunity to prove myself in like case, so I'd love to see such a thing implemented.

How to spot a landslide before it happens - disaster expert

KEY POINTS:

Landslides can occur on most NZ slopes.

Be alert to:
- falling rocks
- small slips as they may precede a bigger slip
- any cracks or bulges in the ground
- doors/windows suddenly being harder to use because their frames have shifted.

"It's better to be safe than sorry," the expert said. If danger is sensed it is best to listen to that instinct.

Trees near volcanoes signal eruptions by turning greener due to CO2 absorption from rising magma, which NASA satellites detect, offering early warnings. This system could protect 10% of Earth’s population living near volcanoes. In 2018, it evacuated 56,000 people in the Philippines safely before an eruption. Trees hold the key to disaster prevention!

I‘m participating in a big-ish ambulance/disaster exercise this weekend. Not sure about the part I play in it, it just says Helper MLS (Mobile Leitstelle/mobile dispatch). So maybe it has something to do with radio comms.

Or maybe I just help keeping track of the units on paper. 😄
