Not all foil blankets were created equally… A traditional foil blanket is often not enough to keep you warm in challenging situations. 🥶⁠ ⁠ But why is this? Why don't foil blankets work well? Let's take a look...⁠ ⁠ 👉🏻 A foil blanket is typically thin, offering little protection against the elements. ⁠ ⁠ 👉🏻 They can be easily punctured by thorns or branches, leaving the wearer unprotected.⁠ ⁠ 👉🏻 The material composition is noisy, creating an unpleasant, and sometimes dangerous experience.⁠ ⁠ However, THERMARMOUR emergency warming blankets are thoughtfully crafted to protect you when it matters most. ⁠ ⁠ The multi-layer system works together to create a simple yet effective passive warming blanket that you can rely on. ⁠ ⁠ Read more about why foil blankets are not the ideal solution for emergencies - https://bit.ly/4bEVqiZ ⁠ #thermarmour #patientwarming #emergency #emergencykit #advancedwarmingtechnology #military #medical #hypothermia #normothermia #passivewarming #warmingblanket #madeintheuk #ukmade ⁠

This is an interesting story from the folks at Fifth Wall, discussing beach erosion options for homeowners in a shoreline community in Florida. It is a familiar story that has occurred in many communities across the US as sea levels rise and shorelines change. Often conflict can arise between government agencies seeking to ensure public funds are used to support public goods, and homeowners (who in this case) refuse to agree to public good requirements. In these cases, homeowners are attempting to skirt the public trust doctrine requirement, which has existed in the US since 1800, and has been reinforced by centuries of case law. If you are going to take public money for just about anything, you need to provide a public benefit. While the US Army Corps of Engineers enforces these requirements, the doctrine is part of a national legal principle. In the United States, the public enjoys a well-established right to access beaches up to the "mean high water line," thanks to the public trust doctrine. The legal principle behind the public trust doctrine was first rooted in ancient Roman law and carried through English common law, and these rights eventually became a cornerstone principle in the United States. The doctrine dictates that governments hold certain resources, like tidal waters and their adjacent shorelines, in trust for public use. This translates to public access for activities like walking, swimming, and fishing in the areas below the average high tide line, ensuring everyone can enjoy these cherished coastal resources. The concept of "public goods" is crucial when considering how government agencies like FEMA, and ACE approach shoreline restoration programs. Public goods are resources or services that are non-rivalrous and non-excludable. Non-rivalrous means that one person's enjoyment doesn't diminish the availability of others (think clean air). Non-excludable signifies the difficulty, or impossibility, of preventing people from using the good (like a public park). Beaches embody these characteristics perfectly. Federal agencies understanding that beaches are public goods, often mandate public access as a condition for receiving shoreline restoration funding. This ensures that the benefits of federal investment, like restored coastlines and storm protection, are available to everyone. Public access also fosters economic benefits through tourism and recreation, further justifying its inclusion in these programs. By upholding the Public Trust Doctrine and ensuring public access, government programs contribute to a more equitable and sustainable future for our coasts. #climatechange #ace #publicfunds

❓ What do you think is the role of an army of your country? Is it protection and safety, right? Yet, decisions of our governments sometimes seem controversial: “Australian defence force’s war-fighting ability may “soon be degraded” by the increasing burden of responding to natural disasters and domestic crises, a parliamentary committee has warned.” ❓Anything worrying here? Don’t you agree that protection of people from the most urgent threat - climate disasters - should be the priority of security? Watch this video to hear examples when governments simply are not managing to fulfil their job but also the solution. 🔥 You will hear the survivor of fires in Lahaina, Hawaii that engulfed the island and about a dire shortage of rescuers countries are facing worldwide. Climate is the most real threat, which we have to face together as humanity. Tornadoes, fires, floods, earthquakes, storms take thousands of lives, and affect millions. It is high time soldiers as highly trained professionals start to save lives. Unified international rescue service is what can help us fulfil this goal, and it is possible only in the world uniting in the face of one enemy. 🌏 But our planet itself also requires rescue, and only scientists uniting in one goal can come out with the best solution. Let’s demand the establishment of the unified scientific center where the brightest minds will work for our safety. ⏩ Watch on Rumble to see the bigger picture: https://lnkd.in/d_UwZ_Tp ✅ Subscribe in Telegram to know the news first: https://lnkd.in/eYfFibwK https://lnkd.in/ei9N68r4

Watertown to apply for military grant to upgrade water treatment   WATERTOWN, New York (WWNY) - The City of Watertown, New York hopes the federal government will help fund its drinking water upgrade project.   The city plans to apply for $17 million through the Defense Community Infrastructure Program. Its application was denied last year but city leaders feel they have a stronger application this time around.   The total cost of the project to improve city drinking water is $61 million.   Read the full article: https://lnkd.in/eQ8723E6   ChlorTainer is currently working with the US Army, where they will use our passive secondary containment system for the long-term storage of 1-ton and 150 lb. cylinders of potentially hazardous chemicals as a result from ongoing remediation efforts from WWII. This unique implementation of our system is the first time an organization has elected to use ChlorTainer vessels for storage rather than for chemical processing.    Learn more about ChlorTainer's work with the U.S. Army: https://lnkd.in/e_YQV4bt   Follow #ChlorTainer for more Water Industry & Chemical Industry content.    #USArmy #ChemicalSafety #ChemicalIndustry #PlantOperator #SafetyFirst #SecondaryContainment
