With 2023 marking one of the worst wildfire seasons on record, the EU Civil Protection Mechanism (EU in Emergencies) and rescEU fleet are on high alert for 2024. Wildfires devastated parts of Europe, North America, and South America, claiming lives and burning vast areas of land. In response, the rescEU fleet, comprising 28 airplanes and 4 helicopters stationed across 10 European countries, is ready to support EU Member States in emergencies. Over 540 firefighters from 12 European countries are also pre-positioned in France, Greece, Portugal, and Spain to assist local crews. As climate conditions worsen, how can we strengthen global wildfire response efforts? Let’s discuss.

For the last two years, MapAction has been working on anticipatory action (AA) programmes worldwide. Anticipatory actions help countries mitigate the worst effects of a disaster with advance planning and funding, linked to triggers based on data and hazard models. #MapAction works with disaster management agencies to develop robust data models and be more resilient. As part of our work, we are launching an advocacy campaign - six short animations, released weekly - to promote the benefits of anticipatory actions. Here is the first. ?? This work is part of a broader programme on anticipatory action funded by the Ausw?rtiges Amt (Federal Foreign Office) Germany. ?? #Ready2Respond #Data2SaveLives #anticipatoryaction #climateemergency #supportAA Anticipation Hub Start Network CALP Network CLEAR Global United Nations OCHA Anticipatory Action by Welthungerhilfe (WHH) Medair Mercy Corps Catholic Relief Services Deutsche Rote Kreuz British Red Cross Seheno ANDRIANIAINA Orla Desmond World Central Kitchen https://lnkd.in/eTWcmZiD

??OOPS… This is a picture of a Spitfire, having crashed shortly after take off in Aug 1943 during the battle for North Africa and The Mediterranean. It was flown by Pilot Officer House serving at the time with 80 Squadron of The Royal Air Force. On the back of the picture he wrote ‘all my own work’; a light hearted note given the carriage of his errors?????? Humility is an admirable quality as is accountability; seemingly in short supply today. Today I guess we’d call it ‘stepping up’, or perhaps ‘showing up’, by way of ownership. It’s an honest trait, openly accepting that we should have done better. Or in House’s case, ‘all my own work’; unconditional ownership following the crash of his Spitfire. In 1945, House went on to fly the Typhoon in the fight to liberate Europe, crash landing RB396 having been hit by intense flak whilst flying at low level during a mission behind enemy lines. This is the same Typhoon that is to be restored to fly again, the only one in the world, thanks to an amazing team leading the Hawker Typhoon Preservation Group Niall Downey, a commercial pilot, heart surgeon and all-round good soul has written a book called Oops that you may find interesting; why things go wrong! https://lnkd.in/eiGCf5YS If you’re feeling overwhelmed, fearing that you might crash any minute, don’t worry, hold tight, it’ll be alright; reach out to Prof Nigel MacLennan Leadership Coach and Integrity Campaigner who will help you get back to straight and level. I’ve yet to crash a plane…but equally, I’ve not flown a Hurricane, a Spitfire, nor a Hawker Typhoon…yet?? #allmyownwork #spitfire #typhoon #hurricane #life #house #numpty #fugitive #lucky #goagain #holdtight #itwillbealright #showingup #gratitude #oops #hearts

Pollution from Potentially Polluting Wrecks (PPW) is a cross-border problem. Responding to PPW pollution is currently reactive + expensive + is not coordinated globally. Project TANGAROA aims to Develop a Global Framework for the Near- and Long-Term Assessment, Intervention and Sharing of Data for Potentially Polluting Wrecks. Thanks to all the partners, support and interest so far - Major Projects Foundation, IUCN, The Ocean Foundation, Waves Group Ltd, International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS), Marinas Guardian, International Maritime Organization.

Does the LA Mayor or CA Gov have experience coordinating responses to large scale events? ?? Cognitive dissonance alert - ACTIONS speak louder than words. Cameron Hamilton what are your thoughts on draining emergency reservoirs in wildfire prone deserts? Cameron Hamilton what are your thoughts on providing emergency services to ALL Americans, or should it be based upon ideology? Cameron Hamilton what are your thoughts on staffing FEMA with the most qualified people to perform the duties of the job? Based upon the above I am confident Cameron Hamilton will be able to step back, disengage, and view what is in front of him while providing solutions to emergencies/problems for ALL Americans, to make order out of chaos.
