Mary Smail has installed 16 solar panels on her house despite it breaking planning laws. "If bad laws are not challenged then they never get changed and we can see that through things like the suffragettes and civil rights in America."

There’s a medical emergency on a train on track 1, and they have stopped all traffic in the station on tracks 1 - 6. I feel like this is too cautious (maybe just close track 1 & 2?)

but it is clearly my American upbringing that thinks “this is too much respect for human life.”

Just a reminder that while forests across the northern hemisphere burn,

while reports of the AMOC stopping in 27 years is now possible,

while jet streams display more behaviour that creates more long extreme weather events,

while sea temps frighten scientists,

and water & food security of supply globally are now in question.

This is 1 example of how governments (responsible for the best interests of people) respond.

So glad my friends incidentally told me yesterday about this #UK #mobilephone #emergency alert drill at 3pm today! Without that knowledge I would have been completely panicked especially as the sound my phone emitted was completley alien! I was home but it must have been so much fun in a public place, carnage 😂! #nucleartest #phonetracking #datatracking

Preparing for an inspiring #thesis defense on #Thursday: proactive care programs in the #Emergency Department by Merel van Loon. Great stuff, looking forward!

You know that thing where a magnet, like on the speaker of another phone, can mess with your phone screen and make it do stuff?

I just had a call back from the Police because my work phone made my personal phone call 999 though the lock screen! 😬

Sorry police, it wasn't me!

if anyone wonders what it’s like to be a #caregiver doing #eldercare for ones #parents…

at the start of the yr, my #mother was hospitalized & caught #covid while an in-patient. my #father went to the #hospital 2-wks later, & caught covid while an in-patient. we avoided #SarsCoV2 for 3-yrs. but, half my #family was infected at the one place ppl should be able to trust & go to for help in an #emergency.

both of my parents are exp “brain fog” which should make my job more hellish. so, that’s fun

So, #Sunak wants to appear as the saviour of the #NHS with his #emergency 'fixes'.

Let's not fall for this #disingenuous crap from the #Tories who have systematically underfunded the health service for their entire squalid existence.

P.S. Don't attempt walking on water #Sunak

Defence Force aids Auckland in flood emergency

The #NewZealand #Defence Force is assisting #CivilDefence authorities and #emergency services in response to catastrophic #flooding across Auckland City. (NZDF) #climate #security https://www.nzdf.mil.nz/news/defence-force-aids-auckland-in-flood-emergency/

Exactly how bad does #toxic #airpollution in Bangkok #BKK have to get before city government advises its residents to work from home? As bad as a nearly 2X increase in city wide air pollution-related hospital visits from last week to this week, or bad as having the #Thai #healthministry authorise the opening of #emergency operation centres for any province with unhealthy #PM25 readings for 3 consecutive days. Hard lessons learned from the #pandemic? Hardly.

This has to be a joke. One of the biggest #oil producing countries hosting the next #cop and appointing the boss of its biggest oil company to run it

Humanity and most of the non-human world really don't have a cats chance in hell. The rich will end up watching the world burn then they will kill one another over what's left. Its #ragnarok basically.

I went looking on Twitter. Apparently they shot and killed a cop near Brantford. #ShelterInPlace #Emergency #SouthwesternOntario

I just got an emergency alert on my phone to shelter in place because of armed suspect(s). The alert said to check local media, but I can’t find anything. The alert provided a URL which will not load. https://alertready.opp.ca I have no idea where this suspect is. What a useless alert. I’m not leaving the house anyway, but jeeze. #Emergency #OPP #police

During the 2nd World War #emergency plans were made by the UK #government to evacuate the, then Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret from London in the event of a successful German invasion of the south coast of England.

To which location were they to be transferred?
