#NativeAmericaCalling: What the #Texas #FlashFloods teach us about #EmergencyPreparedness

Monday, July 14, 2025

"Earlier this year, after numerous warnings by inspectors, a levee in Oregon gave way, damaging more than 950 homes, including those of the #BurnsPaiute Tribe. And on the #NavajoNation, notification was key to helping hundreds of residents evacuate as the #OakRidgeFire consumed more than 11,000 acres.

"Tune into Native America Calling to hear about those and emergency plans by some other tribes aimed at keeping threats from becoming human tragedies."

Demand that your municipal, provincial & federal governments include #PeopleWithDisabilities as part of #ClimateCrisis caused #NaturalDisasters & #EmergencyEvacuation planning. We are almost always left out of these critically important #EmergencyPlans - we deserve to be considered & included. We are all part of the communities we live in. We don't deserve to be treated like an afterthought.

All levels of governments need to consult with us & learn from us a lot more. All levels of governments need to learn to heed our very valid concerns. We don't need fluffy PR shit. We need to be included in decision making processes. NOW.

As a startup investor in FinTech, cybersecurity is part of almost every pitch by now. Consequently, I find it astounding that established institutions lack good cybersecurity postures. The recent ransomware outage at a credit union service provider shows a remarkable lack of technical preparation and thought-out communication plans. The shortcomings exist for the service provider and the affected institutions.

Cybercriminals conduct ransomware attack, causing outages at 60 credit unions, federal agency says

Hospitals, fuel pipelines, and schools have also been disrupted by the file-locking cyberattacks in recent years, prompting the Biden administration to treat ransomware as a national security crisis.

One day until the #GreatShakeout. "#ShakeOut also has been organized to encourage you, your community, your school, or your organization to update #emergencyplans and supplies, and to secure your space in order to prevent damage and injuries."

My anxiety issues have lead to a mild paranoia about #EmergencyPlans, but I was glad of my backup food stores when we had a global pandemic and I might be glad of my wind up/solar power radio, portable power station and backup stove this winter.

If you don't have a plan for how to cope with an extended #PowerCut, especially if like me your cooking is all electric, and you have the means it might be worth thinking about.
