@jascha Earlier, after I learned about the earthquake, I was studying historical information. Based on this report, the affected area lacks historical seismological information for the majority of the population living in Morocco.

Earlier today, the country of Morocco experienced a major earthquake with apparently hundreds of casualties.

Years ago, I signed up for earthquake notifications from USGS.

For anyone living in an area with risk of major earthquakes, I encourage you to sign up for these notifications.

(just boosted my #DisasterPreparedness after seeing the porta potty fiasco at Burning Man)

I literally did buy WAG bags from REI for #DisasterPreparedness reasons... not sure if "excited" is the right word. (Yes, multiple layers of garbage bags + sawdust or kitty litter also would work...these are going in my car). Strangely, REI was cheaper than everywhere else, before the Fediverse accuses me of being bourgeois swine ;-)

REI charges $22 for a 5 gallon bucket with a toilet seat on it, ha ha. Thinking having some "WAG" bags in the portable #DisasterPreparedness kit is a good lesson to take from watching this weekend's Burning Man disaster. #Poocapalypse

Success.

In Akihabara's idol concerts, glow sticks, now popularly known as 'cyalumes', trace their origins back to NASA technology. Introduced to Japan by Shiro Harada, they've evolved from entertainment essentials to crucial disaster preparedness tools. #Akihabara #NASA #Cyalume #ShiroHarada #DisasterPreparedness

29. Purchasing items and talking with individual sellers at a farmer's market (or flea market, etc.). Bartering and trading, negotiating prices. Anything but the self checkout line at the big box grocery store. 16/16 (for now)
#DisasterPreparedness #bartering

27. Learn how you can rig together a solar panel, batteries, and charging stuff (phones, computers, medical equipment, what have you).
28. Situational awareness. Know what's going on, what threats are, use that in your daily life. Too many people (kids particular) go through life without any idea they're about to step into an open manhole (or get hit by a tornado). 16/x
#DisasterPreparedness #SituationalAwareness #solar #electricity

22. Urban foraging skills. What can you eat that is out there, growing in your neighborhood. Weeds? "landscape" plants which are really edible?
23. How to put together items for disaster preparedness, and how to use them. Because, odds are, they're going to have to use them at some point.
24. How to maintain and run a generator, change the oil, the spark plugs, safely refill gas. Clean the carb, too, probably. 13/x
#DisasterPreparedness #foraging #generators

20. Basic hand-to-hand self defense. Jujitsu or judo or akido or similar (not karate or any showoff sports). Real practical stuff that will get you out of a jam.
21. Human communication skills. How to talk to strangers, ask for help, interact with people WITHOUT using social media or your phone. I know, they hate talking to adults, but this is a huge, huge, huge skill in life in general (and in particular, disasters). 13/x
#DisasterPreparedness #SelfDefense #Talking

17. Staying cool and avoiding heat illness. A huge issue in recent years (just in general). Travel at night, not during the day. Stay in the shade. Drink often, know when you are hydrated/dehydrated. 11/x #disasters #DisasterPreparedness #heatwaves #HeatIllness #dehydration

9. Understanding of edible and poisonous plants, what you can/can't eat in your area. 10. Basic knots (bowline, taut line hitch, etc.) #DisasterPreparedness #food #foraging #knots 5/x

7. How to find/purify water in both the wilderness as well as in urban/disaster situations. 8. Basic disaster preparedness at home, supplies and knowledge you need in an earthquake/fire/flood/etc. #DisasterPreparedness #disasters #earthquakes

6. Related to above, understanding terrain and its dangers; dangers of canyons/flash floods (and their urban equivalents); fire and hills and how fire behaves in terrain. 3/x #DisasterPreparedness #wildfires #floods
