Evacuation Prep:

As the world changes, it is important to be prepared to safely and efficiently evacuate your home, potentially with little or no warning. Preparing ahead of time can help to reduce stress and anxiety, and help you evacuate safely if the time comes.

Red Level (No Warning): People | Pets | Keys. Human life matters most. If you can't rescue your pets, let them out to give them their best chance. If evacuating by car, don't forget your keys.

Orange Level (Less Than an Hour): Crucial Meds | Important Papers | Money | Paper Map | Pet Vaccination Records. Crucial meds and medical equipment. Papers including passports, birth certificates, medical records, etc.. Multiple forms of payment. Paper map with marked evac routes in case of signal loss. Phone. Most evac centers require vaccine records for pets to be allowed in.

Yellow Level (More Than an Hour): Photos | Hard Drives | Computers | Chargers | Irreplaceable Items | OTC Meds | Pet Supplies | Pet Food | Clothes | Weather Gear. Family photos. Hard drives and computers. Make digital backups ahead of time. Charging cords. Irreplaceable items such as collectibles and mementos. Over the counter medical supplies such as Aspirin and tampons. Pet supplies such as bowls, crates, toys, and litter. Pet food and treats. Clothes. If you are running out of time grab your laundry basket. Weather gear if needed.

Green Level (General Preparedness): Food | Water | Radio | N95 Masks | Multitool | Power Pack | Gas | Stove + Fuel | Flashlight | Toiletries | Emergency Contact Info | Bedding | First Aid | Can Opener. Easy prep, shelf-stable food. Water. Battery powered/rechargeable NOAA weather radio. N95 masks for smoke. A multitool. Rechargeable power pack for phones. Keep your car at least partially fueled at all times. Portable stove and fuel for cooking food without power. Flashlight and spare batteries. Toiletries including hair products, toothbrush and paste, etc.. Emergency contact info for friends and loved ones. Spare pillows and blankets. Dedicated first aid kit. Can opener.

Save yourself time and stress by preparing an evacuation bag ahead of time and keep it in an easy to access place. At the end of every season rotate out the perishable items within such as food, water, and medications. The more you can keep in the bag, the more time you'll have to grab everything else. Remember, it is okay if you can't do everything. Some preparation is better than no preparation.

If you are in the U.S.A. and experiencing disaster related anxiety call the Disaster Distress Hotline at 1-800-985-5990 for support and resources.

If you're planning on travelling to the Shuswap/Okanagan right now for 'vacation', then please, do not. You are not welcome right now. Keep traffic as much to a minimum as you possibly can while locals and families try and figure out their next steps to safety and security.

Meme under the cut because I've been crying for hours.

Greece fires: Satellite images and maps show extent of damage

25 July 2023

Tens of thousands of people have been forced to leave their homes and abandon holidays on Greek islands including Rhodes and Corfu as fires spread across the region.

In Rhodes, a black scar has been scorched across the middle of the island to the southern town of Kiotari.

Satellite images show the extent of the damage to the popular holiday resort.

The flames have destroyed many homes and businesses in the town.

The fires have been burning since last week on Rhodes, where temperatures have reached 45C.

More than 30,000 people have fled the flames on the island since the weekend, Greece's largest-ever wildfire evacuation.

Some 16,000 people have been transported across land and another 3,000 evacuated by sea, police say. Others have had to leave by road or use their own transport.

They include thousands of tourists who had to make for temporary shelters like sports stadiums before getting the emergency planes laid on by travel companies.

But with Greece in the middle of a long spell of extreme heat that has increased the risk of wildfires across the country, Rhodes is not the only place that has been affected.

Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis says the country is "at war" with the wildfires and warns it faces "another three difficult days ahead" before temperatures are expected to drop.

Civil Protection Minister Vassilis Kikilia says fire crews have been fighting more than 500 fires across the country over the past 12 days - including in Midea on the mainland.

Firefighters also say the situation in Corfu and Evia is not totally under control.

Satellite images show smoke blowing from fires on the blackened hills near Kassiopi in the north of Corfu.

And Crete, the largest of the Greek Islands, has been also been put on high alert because of an extreme risk of fire.

The situation in Greece is the result of a heatwave across southern Europe and northern Africa that has helped create dry conditions and also let fires take hold in Sicily, Croatia, Algeria and Tunisia.

The situation would have been "virtually impossible" without human-induced climate change, scientists say, adding it has made the heatwave in Europe 2.5C hotter.

"Run"

Honestly, I really pushed myself and my limits with this drawing, cause I never draw backgrounds. This time I HAD to make the exception, cause this is another tribute piece to "The Lines We Cross" by @whisker-biscuit

Ive planned to make one more piece of that nature, since Chapter 12 had one more scene I really liked, but we'll see.

I really overworked myself with this one and I think it was worth it. Hope you like it as much as I do!

#i hope i get to make the pieces i have in mind #cause there was an emergency #you see #a whole wildfire started behind my house and we had to evacuate #so yeah it was sort of a miracle that i got to finish this drawing #i hope things get normal again and I dont have to worry about fire going on #and potentially losing my equipment #my art #fanart #sly cooper and the thievius raccoonus #sly cooper au #sly cooper #carmelita fox #carmelita montoya fox

some americans don't see canada as a real place with real people and the way some people are reacting to this wildfire smoke shows it

#thousands of people have had to evacuate and homes have been burned down #rly the mood is 'lol canada is burning' and like #i never heard people make jokes like this about fires in california #i've been living with wildfire smoke every summer for at least 10 years lol like. i don't have AC but i do have an air purifier #idk why i am opinionated today but i am #also i literally just had to shut all my doors and windows bc we have wildfire smoke coming in #also one more thing to add: the folks most affected by evacuation orders are indigenous communities

[allthecanadianpolitics]

Residents of Yellowknife, Ndilǫ, Dettah and the Ingraham Trail will be able to go home starting at noon on Wednesday, three weeks after the territory issued an evacuation order for these communities due to an approaching wildfire.

The city, along with the Yellowknives Dene First Nation (YKDFN), issued a joint plan that states that the city and the YKDFN will ask the department of Municipal and Community Affairs (MACA) to change the evacuation order to an alert at noon on Wednesday. The plan includes keeping all three communities under an evacuation alert starting that day.

🖤 Excuse me! I would.love to hear more about Albertan Rodney if/when you are so inclined. Xxx

oh boy i am SO inclined buckle up bc i have some THOUGHTS about this!!

okay so i'm from alberta, born and raised, and i have literally been thinking about rodney being from alberta since the first time i watched tracker at like 11 years old. if you're not aware, alberta is a VERY redneck/conservative province, i refer to us as americas 51st state bc so many people here have a lot of Conservative Capitalist America Views. as one of the oil and gas capitals of the world, there is a lot of people who work on the oil rigs (everyone here (that i grew up with) calls them rig pigs, and i can 100% see rodney calling them that) especially in fort macmurray, which is located in the middle of the athabasca oil sands.

and like don't get me wrong there's a lot of great things about alberta but it's too cold in the winter and too hot in the summer and imagine you're a genius who's smarter than everyone around you by the time you're like 8 years old and you're just. Stuck There. stuck surrounded by people who think fossil fuels are the end all be all of power technology. surrounded by all these narrow minded people stuck in their ways and incapable of looking forward towards the future. he probably couldn't WAIT to get out of there the second he could, and i have no doubts he did

but i also think he gets, like, weirdly nostalgic for it? alberta is a fucking BEAUTIFUL province it's literally so fucking breathtaking and we have everything. we have mountains and forests and plains and grasslands and badlands, it's so fucking diverse and despite all its problems (so many problems), you can't help but look around sometimes and think "i am damn lucky to live here." i can just imagine rodney going to different planets and just taking a second bc whatever world they stepped onto looks /just like/ that provincial park he went to as a kid. or that picture of a mountain range he saw at school every day for 6 years. or some other vivid memory of where he grew up (it helps that they filmed in BC so it's not that much of a stretch to be like this literally looks like somewhere he's been before)

i also think there's a lot about being albertan that he hated as a kid but as an adult, specifically with his team, he's more inclined to miss. like obviously some things he shared the second he could (maple taffy was the first thing on his requisition list when they reconnected with earth and you cannot tell me otherwise. it's also what him and ronon first bonded over you can't tell me otherwise for that either) but certain things (like going to Edmonton or Calgary for Vacation bc that's where the Things To Do are, or maybe Banff or Jasper if you're feeling Touristy/Outdoorsy) that seemed so terrible for whatever reason as a kid seems... endearing almost? and especially when ronon and teyla start talking about athos or sateda, rodney just feels like he wants to share too, share this part of himself with his team that maybe he didn't always like but. it's part of who he is, it shaped him, and as awful as it was at the time maybe he wouldn't have pushed himself as hard as he did to get to where he is now. he worked and worked and worked to get as far away from that stupid town as possible and he literally went to another galaxy to get away from it and he ran right into the family he didn't think he would ever find (no that's not projection shut up)

wow okay this is getting long so i'll end it here but yeah i have Thoughts. about rodney mckay and how he definitely absolutely 100% grew up in alberta! thanks for the ask i hope this answer satisfies you

#actually tho thank u for this ask #it's so exciting when people actually wanna hear my thoughts on things #rodney being albertan has been something i consider as a Canon Confirmed Fact for forever #and as he's my Favourite Character Of All Time #i get kinda emotional sometimes thinking about it #when i was in grade 12 fort mac had horrible wildfires #and most of the area had to be evacuated #it was devastating #and sometimes i think about rodney hearing about that news #maybe jeannie mentions it in a message she sends #and he just kinda has to take a second #bc he was never really sentimental at all to his hometown #hasn't thought about it in years #but hearing that it all burnt down #his old house #his elementary school where he built a bomb #the place where he got his first job that was the first step of His Future #he gets kinda misty eyed #the team is like wtf are u okay #and he's like no yes no idk #and then they just reminisce with him about it #god i'm actually insane with this concept #anyways yeah that's my Albertan!Rodney thoughts #enjoy #rodney mckay #sga #stargate atlantis #alberta

The progress continues!!!! After yesterday's breakthrough, Blu took off charging on his favorite old route. It was never my favorite, lol, but I didn't stop him. Don't want to kill his mojo. He likes this very long street, long streets are not my favorite because of the sheer amount of houses on both sides where we may encounter loose dogs. Plus, I knew we would have to pass through an AT&T underground cable laying construction zone. Trucks of all kinds making all kinds of noises, men holding equipment, jackhammers etc. He did great! NOTHING fazed him. He is wearing double leashes only because one of the three plastic prongs on his harness clip broke off, so it's not totally secure and I hooked a leash to his collar for insurance. We'll see if his new mindset is permanent, I know he could still have bad days. And that is OK.

#blu❤️ #dogs #so i have to retire that harness #bittersweet #it is the harness we bought for Jake to bring him home from the shelter #he wore it most of his six years with us #i will put it in my go-bag/evacuation bag for wildfire season #treasured momento #both boys had so many good walks in that harness #😭

[quaranmine]
