FEMA Region 6’s Post

For preparedness plans you have two choices, be a professional victim or create a strategy to maintain normal operations throughout an event. Military planning embraces two important concepts, mission command and end state. Both are essential for successful navigation of an exogenous shock. Critical infrastructure (CI) loss is the definition of an emergency in this modern and technologically enabled society. We navigate daily life via dependency on the 10 sectors (16 in US), when one fails, we're thrown into an unstable existence. The emergency becomes a disaster when we require external assistance, when the situation is beyond our capability and / or capacity to navigate. Mission command places the burden on the individual, to develop a personal strategy to understand their exposure to and dependancy on CI, through framing preparedness planning as a personal responsibility. Everyone will digest the plethora of ideas presented throughout Preparedness Week. Do you want to be dependant on a plan you created, for your family, that is distinct from government operations, requiring no public sector intervention beyond the restoration of CI? #emergencymanagement #disastermanagement #planning #missioncommand #resilience #community #resources #disaster #response #recovery #endstate #veteran #preparedness #emergencypreparedness #disasterpreparedness #preparednessweek #innovation #strategy Preparedness Labs Incorporated https://lnkd.in/gNC7br7S

Some news about Medina Environmental Consulting & Solutions !

Unfortunately, the third type of Aerosol lenses from the Middle East have entered the atmosphere of the Arctic and from there entered the atmosphere of Canada and the United States! Their behavioral physics, which is against the natural biogeochemical cycles of the earth, causes the clouds not to fertilize and has caused such an environmental crisis and has endangered the national security of the most powerful country in the world. All the documents are available and the scientists did not take my statements seriously and unfortunately they are caught in such a miserable situation! In the new scientific theory of the natural suffocation cycle of the earth, which is the result of my 30 years of scientific research, there is a new scientific road map that can save the United States and the world from this quagmire created by poorly educated scientists. In such a sensitive situation, the deathly silence of the world's pretentious organizations, including NASA, IPCC, WMO, and NOAA, with their repeated and completely wrong proposals, is unforgivable. It must be said that our world is facing a very simple scientific phenomenon in atmospheric sciences and physics, and fortunately, it can be easily solved! https://lnkd.in/eVr-T_8r https://lnkd.in/dJwNQBEP https://lnkd.in/evjeqCuj #NewScientificTheoryOfTheEarthNaturalSuffocationCycle #BehavioralPhysicsofNaturalColloidalParticles #aerosol #atmospher #airpollution #CALIPSO #CALIOP #Pasadena #ATRAIN #EarthCare #InternationalDayofCombatingSandandDustStorms #opendata #wildfires #SDSDay #EarlyWarningsforAll #delaythegreen #globalwarming #showusthedata #geopoliticalrisk #ipccreport #politik #Copernicus #EarlyWarningsForAll #esg #podcast #climatechangeadaptation #ClimateReport #climatedenial #oceanwarming #climateaction #circulareconomy #WHO #IPCC #UNClimateChange #NOAA #Cop10 #AirPollution #Air #AirReport #NASA #environmental #globalwarming #climatecrisis #COP28 #IAEA #EPA #EPA #ipccreport #globalwarming #climatecrisis #COP26 #temperature #delaythegreen #showusthedata #ActOnClimate #wildfires #data #science #oceans #globalwarming #energy #fossilfuels #coal #diesel #fuel #subsidies #carbondioxide #fossilfuelsubsidies #news #technology #power #leadership #greentech #production #PlanetaryStewardship #Sustainability #ClimateAction #EarthShot #ExponentialChange

Great day yesterday at the Wales Civil Contingencies Conference. My key takeaway points where: The importance of building effective working relationships in peacetime for use in response and recovery. The team delivered a good mix of presentations each with key points for colleagues to take away and action. In the interconnected world we live in resilience needs to be built in at every level.

Is there a need for a 4th Protocol Additional to the #GenevaConventions that covers non-human combatants? There's an area of combat operations that the #rulesofwar have struggled to address sufficiently. While the likes of Jerome de Hemptinne among others have dedicated significant intellectual labor in bringing this discourse to the mainstream, there's still a long way to go in creating space for the recognition and protection of animals enlisted in combat and non-combat operations by parties to a conflict. This August marks the 74th anniversary of the GCs, and I think it's a great time to talk about animals in war-as direct participants in conflict operations -not just as part of the natural environment or as civilian objects. What's your take? Watch this video essay a let us know in the comments. https://lnkd.in/gnGBkqwU

#McCauslandMonday : What Can Leaders Learn From the Attack on Pearl Harbor? With remembrance day for Pearl Harbor coming up this week we wanted to take 2 quick minutes to explore what can be learned from this event. https://lnkd.in/egg_sqbU

All, will serve with honor, courage, and purpose .... and the bridge will be replaced and be "better". Now about the other bridges across the nation whose at-risk posture was glaringly exposed .... the "federal channel" under each one will need a serious at-risk re-profiling and management approach for everyday use ...... that is the greater challenge ... ...and condolences, and good wishes to the injured, missing, and lost ... again ... Redundant monitoring with active sensors -- no new science here, just pervasive data on all corridor assets, with a corresponding link or engageable proximity radar, and support with auxiliary craft -- a "TSA" for the maritime routes and assets -- long overdue... in the current scenario of state-sponsored instability -- where no end is in sight -- and manifest and applicable tools and instruments abound for the the interruption, and disruption by less than savory, and or otherwise inclined actors ... #RRM #corridor_monitoring #sustainable_infrastructue #applied_science
