The country I live in is on fire with millions of acres destroyed and thousands of people evacuated. This is potentially the 2nd time in 4 years that people will loose everything they have (as the 2019 Canadian wildfires were also horrendous). Millions are suffering displacement, homelessness, and health risks due to the wildfires across the country. I live in British Columbia and I remember 2019. This is so much worse. The ENTIRE country is pretty much on fire.
And what do the people of the U.S.A immediately say? “Blame Canada!” “We need to invade them bc clearly something is wrong up there” “Canada fucking sucks!” “Ugh, here is my Timelapse of how smokey the sky is, but apparently it will be gone in 2 days.”
Well Americans aren’t the ones who have to deal with the LITERAL GIANT FIRES SCORCHING THEIR NEIGHBOURHOODS AND FORESTS! They don’t have to pack up everything they own and hope, JUST HOPE, they come back and their homes aren’t burnt to the ground. They don’t have to hope their communities aren’t entirely destroyed. They don’t have to worry if their friends, families, and animals are okay. They are not the ones trapped due to roads being closed and heavy debris falling as the fires become uncontrollable. And they only seem to care when it is them on fire. But if another country is? They don’t fucking bat an eye, and yet the rest of the world helps them when they are in need.
So instead of complaining Americans, how about you fucking help for once? We are thankful you sent some of your firefighters to help us, but in the grand scheme of things, this isn’t enough. The U.S.A as a country is the 2nd biggest C02 producer in the world, which heavily contributes to the worsening of climate change, hence the wildfires. But Americans seem to forget this little fact. They forget that their politics and their environmental policies have literally fucked the rest of the world. So stop being so fucking selfish and actually help for once by contacting your local, state, and federal government(s). Stop voting for absolute idiots that want climate change to worsen so their pockets can be filled. Help by spreading information that will help those impacted, volunteer if you can, and maybe consider donating if you have the means. Or at least have some goddamn compassion and sympathy.
Here are some ways you can help:
• United Way for the Northwest Territories
All money donated goes to those affected by the wildfires in the NWT. Every donation is matched by the Federal Canadian and NWT governments.
• The Canadian Red Cross
All donations go towards those most impacted by wildfires across the Canadian Maritimes "with immediate and ongoing relief, recovery and resilience efforts in response to the wildfires, as well as supporting community preparedness and risk reduction for future all-hazard disaster events within Atlantic Canada”. The Federal Canadian and Nova Scotia provincial government have committed to matching each $1 donation to become $3.
• Donate A Mask
This organization ships free N95 respirator equivalent masks across Canada to those affected by the wildfires and for those who cannot afford high-quality and high-grade medical masks.
• Firefighters Without Borders
Firefighters Without Borders is a organization based in Ontario that provides equipment and training to local firefighters and communities across Canada. This helps in fighting current and future wildfires and promotes prevention. It also supports local firefighters to host and provide equipment to international firefighters when Canada needs assistance.
• Odawa Native Friendship Centre
The Odawa Native Friendship Centre is an organization serving the Ottawa-Carleton region in Ontario by helping Indigenous peoples that have had to evacuate their homes due to the wildfires. They accept money donations and usually accept clothing donations as well, but they are not taking clothing items at this time.
• The Central Okanagan Food Bank BC Wildfires Emergency Food Relief Fund
This organization donates much needed food to those impacted by the wildfires who are currently facing food insecurity. They have expanded to helping the entire province as the wildfires have spread.

International SWOT satellite spots planet-rumbling Greenland tsunami
The international Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite mission, a collaboration between NASA and France's CNES (Center National d'Études Spatiales), detected the unique contours of a tsunami that sloshed within the steep walls of a fjord in Greenland in September 2023.
Triggered by a massive rockslide, the tsunami generated a seismic rumble that reverberated around the world for nine days. An international research team that included seismologists, geophysicists, and oceanographers recently reported on the event after a year of analyzing data.
The SWOT satellite collected water elevation measurements in Dickson Fjord on Sept. 17, 2023, the day after the initial rockslide and tsunami. The data was compared with measurements made under normal conditions a few weeks prior, on Aug. 6, 2023.
In the data visualization (above), colors toward the red end of the scale indicate higher water levels, and blue colors indicate lower-than-normal levels. The data suggests that water levels at some points along the north side of the fjord were as much as 4 feet (1.2 meters) higher than on the south.
"SWOT happened to fly over at a time when the water had piled up pretty high against the north wall of the fjord," said Josh Willis, a sea level researcher at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California. "Seeing the shape of the wave—that's something we could never do before SWOT."
In a paper published recently in Science, researchers traced a seismic signal back to a tsunami that began when more than 880 million cubic feet of rock and ice (25 million cubic meters) fell into Dickson Fjord. Part of a network of channels on Greenland's eastern coast, the fjord is about 1,772 feet (540 meters) deep and 1.7 miles (2.7 kilometers) wide, with walls taller than 6,000 feet (1,830 meters).
Far from the open ocean, in a confined space, the energy of the tsunami's motion had limited opportunity to dissipate, so the wave moved back and forth about every 90 seconds for nine days. It caused tremors recorded on seismic instruments thousands of miles away.
From about 560 miles (900 kilometers) above, SWOT uses its sophisticated Ka-band Radar Interferometer (KaRIn) instrument to measure the height of nearly all water on Earth's surface, including the ocean and freshwater lakes, reservoirs, and rivers.
"This observation also shows SWOT's ability to monitor hazards, potentially helping in disaster preparedness and risk reduction," said SWOT program scientist Nadya Vinogradova Shiffer at NASA Headquarters in Washington.
It can also see into fjords, as it turns out.
"The KaRIn radar's resolution was fine enough to make observations between the relatively narrow walls of the fjord," said Lee-Lueng Fu, the SWOT project scientist. "The footprint of the conventional altimeters used to measure ocean height is too large to resolve such a small body of water."
Launched in December 2022 from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California, SWOT is now in its operations phase, collecting data that will be used for research and other purposes.

Good Samaritan Day & International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction Day & National Day for Failure & International Suit Up Day
Person A is someone who’s powers replenish by failing, so they are able to be seen as clumsy and useless in their real life and once they’d built up enough failures to pull off a great feat, dons their hero costume, and because of the stark difference between their civilian self and their effortless grace of their hero self, no one is suspicious. But they can’t consistently be their hero self due to the nature of their powers, and is often more of an impressive backup hero who the main heroes call in for help every so often. Person B is a backup villain because their powers have their own restriction, but based around acts of service and kindness. Person B spends their daily civilian life helping out everyone they meet and volunteering and doing charity work, but can only manage to be so nice and patient and sweet because once enough displays of kindness have been built up, they have to release an act of devastation, and decided they would rather have people adore their civilian self and think well of them, than walk the line between good person and bad person in their daily life to avoid random outbursts of evil. Person B often spends their time taking care of Person A’s various clumsiness induced injuries and problems their uselessness causes and so the two end up being fairly close in their civilian lives and have never met in their hero and villain forms since they’re so far down the backup call list. Until they finally do.

13 octobre : Journée de la prévention des catastrophes
Organisée par l’Assemblée générale de l’ONU depuis 1990, cette journée internationale de la prévention des catastrophes permet de rappeler l'importance de la stratégie internationale pour la prévention des catastrophes, adoptée à l’initiative de l’ONU. 138 pays, dont la France, prennent part à cette action concertée chaque mois d’octobre, une période où, depuis la fin août, les catastrophes se succèdent, chaque année plus dramatiques pour celles qui dépendent du climat.
L’objectif de cette journée (International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction) est de rappeler à tous, les démarches et les choix pour réduire les conséquences dommageables à la santé humaine, aux enjeux économiques, environnementaux et patrimoniaux d'aléas naturels tels que les inondations, les séismes, les éruptions volcaniques, les tempêtes et les cyclones, les feux de forêts, les glissements de terrain... souvent aggravés par l'action de l'homme.  
La pandémie de COVID-19 et l'urgence climatique montrent que nous avons besoin d'une vision claire, de planification et d'institutions compétentes et aptes à agir sur la base de preuves scientifiques dans l’intérêt du public.
Cela nécessite la mise en place de stratégies nationales et locales de réduction des risques de catastrophe d'ici à la fin de l'année 2020, comme convenu en 2015 par les États Membres des Nations unies lorsqu'ils ont adopté le Cadre de Sendai (au Japon) pour la réduction des risques de catastrophe. 
Aujourd’hui, les fonds alloués aux interventions d'urgence sont environ 20 fois supérieurs à ceux destinés à la prévention et à la préparation, ce qui va à l'encontre de principes de durabilité.
Selon l’UNICEF, environ un milliard d’enfants dans le monde sont exposés à des risques extrêmement élevés en raison des impacts climatiques, notamment des catastrophes liées au climat.
La Journée internationale pour la réduction des risques de catastrophe 2024 met l’accent sur le rôle de l’éducation dans la protection et l’autonomisation des enfants pour un avenir sans catastrophe.

Why Logistics BPO is the Future of Supply Chain Management
Tumblr media
In today’s globalized and fast-paced business environment, supply chain management has become more complex than ever. To stay competitive, companies are constantly looking for ways to optimize their logistics operations. One solution that has gained significant traction is Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) for logistics. Logistics Bpo Services involve delegating various tasks like inventory management, transportation, warehousing, and customer support to third-party providers. This approach is increasingly proving to be a game-changer for companies aiming to streamline their operations, reduce costs, and improve overall efficiency. In this blog, we will explore why Logistics BPO is the future of supply chain management.
1. Cost Efficiency and Scalability
One of the most significant advantages of adopting Logistics BPO services is the reduction in operational costs. By outsourcing non-core logistics tasks, companies can eliminate the need for in-house infrastructure, labor, and technology investments. BPO providers typically operate in regions where labor and operational costs are lower, allowing businesses to save on overhead expenses. Furthermore, Logistics Bpo offers scalability. Companies can easily scale up or down their operations based on demand fluctuations without having to invest heavily in new resources.
Outsourcing logistics processes also minimizes the risks associated with labor shortages and fluctuating operational costs. By leveraging the expertise and resources of a logistics BPO provider, businesses can maintain high service levels even during peak seasons or unforeseen disruptions.
2. Access to Advanced Technology and Expertise
From real-time tracking to data analytics and artificial intelligence, advanced technologies are transforming the way logistics operations are managed. However, not all companies have the resources to invest in these cutting-edge tools. This is where Logistics BPO comes into play.
Outsourcing logistics to BPO providers gives companies access to state-of-the-art technologies and specialized expertise. BPO providers leverage cloud-based platforms, automated systems, and data analytics to optimize supply chain processes, improve visibility, and enhance decision-making. For instance, Logistics Call Center Outsourcing allows businesses to provide 24/7 customer support, ensuring that queries related to shipment tracking, delivery updates, and order management are addressed promptly. This high level of customer service can significantly improve client satisfaction and brand loyalty.
3. Enhanced Focus on Core Competencies
Logistics BPO services free up valuable time and resources that would otherwise be spent on managing day-to-day supply chain operations. This focus on core competencies enables businesses to innovate, drive growth, and gain a competitive edge in their respective industries.
By delegating logistics tasks to BPO experts, companies benefit from specialized knowledge and expertise that can enhance the efficiency of their supply chain operations. Logistics BPO providers typically have access to the latest technologies and industry best practices, ensuring that businesses receive top-notch services without having to invest in expensive in-house training and development.
4. Improved Risk Management and Compliance
The global nature of supply chains makes them susceptible to a wide range of risks, from political instability and natural disasters to fluctuating market conditions and regulatory changes. Logistics BPO providers have extensive experience in managing these risks and ensuring compliance with international regulations.
By outsourcing logistics tasks, companies can mitigate risks related to delays, regulatory fines, and legal disputes. BPO providers are well-versed in handling customs clearance, tariff regulations, and other compliance issues, reducing the likelihood of supply chain disruptions. Additionally, many Logistics BPO providers offer contingency planning and risk mitigation strategies, enabling businesses to respond swiftly to unexpected challenges.
Conclusion
In conclusion, adopting Logistics BPO services is no longer just an option but a necessity for companies looking to future-proof their supply chain management. By leveraging the expertise of BPO providers, businesses can focus on their core competencies while ensuring that their logistics operations run smoothly. From cost savings to risk management, logistics call center outsourcing and other BPO services are paving the way for the future of supply chain management.

Week 12: Crowd sourcing in times of crisis
Tumblr media
When I hear about crowdsourcing in times of crisis, I'm struck by how it transforms individuals into active participants in disaster response. It's no longer just about authorities and experts; it's about everyday people using their skills and resources to make a difference.
The Gulf Coast oil spill shows how powerful crowdsourcing can be. Regular people, just using their smartphones and the internet, were able to share important data and information that helped with the response. This kind of involvement is amazing and shows how everyday citizens can make a big difference during crises.
In April 2010, the Gulf Coast of the United States, including Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida, faced a big environmental disaster when the Deepwater Horizon oil rig exploded. The explosion killed 11 workers and caused a huge oil spill that lasted 87 days, letting millions of barrels of oil flow into the Gulf of Mexico. (Pallardy 2024) This spill hurt sea animals, coastal areas, and local businesses. The oil reached beaches and wetlands, damaging places where fish and birds live and breed. The fishing and tourism industries lost a lot of money because of the polluted waters and closed beaches. Many people, including government agencies, companies, and volunteers, had to work together to clean up the mess.
Tumblr media
In response to the crisis, crowdsourcing played a crucial role in monitoring the spill's impact and coordinating cleanup efforts. One example is the use of citizen science initiatives, where volunteers collected data and observations on the spill's effects on wildlife, water quality, and shoreline contamination. This data was then shared online through platforms like the Gulf Oil Spill Tracker, allowing researchers and responders to access real-time information and make informed decisions. (National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) 2021)
Social media also played a significant role in crowdsourcing during the Gulf Coast oil spill. Platforms like Twitter and Facebook were used to share information about the spill, coordinate volunteer efforts, and connect affected communities with resources and support. (Beedasy et al. 2020)
The use of crowdsourcing in response to the Gulf Coast oil spill demonstrates the power of collective action in times of crisis. By harnessing the collective efforts of volunteers and leveraging online technologies, we can improve the speed and effectiveness of our response efforts, ultimately mitigating the impact of disasters on our communities and environment.

Sizing Up a Greenland Tsunami
An international satellite mission detected the unique contours of a tsunami that sloshed within the steep walls of a fjord in Greenland in September 2023. Triggered by a massive rockslide, the tsunami generated a seismic rumble that reverberated around the world for nine days. A research team that included seismologists, geophysicists, and oceanographers recently reported on the event after a year of analyzing data.
The SWOT (Surface Water and Ocean Topography) satellite, a collaboration between NASA and France’s CNES (Centre National d’Études Spatiales), collected water elevation measurements in Dickson Fjord on September 17, 2023, the day after the initial rockslide and tsunami. The data were compared with measurements made under normal conditions a few weeks prior, on August 6, 2023.
In this data visualization, orange and yellow indicate higher-than-normal water levels, and purple and black indicate lower levels. For context, water elevation measurements are overlaid on an image of the fjord acquired by the OLI-2 (Operational Land Imager-2) on the Landsat 9. The data suggest that water levels along the north side of the fjord were as much as 1.2 meters (4 feet) higher than on the south side at some points.
“SWOT happened to fly over at a time when the water had piled up pretty high against the north wall of the fjord,” said Josh Willis, a sea level researcher at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California. “Seeing the shape of the wave—that’s something we could never do before SWOT.”

World Civil Defence Day
World Civil Defence Day, observed annually on March 1st, serves as a global reminder of the critical importance of civil protection and emergency preparedness. This day not only honors the dedication and sacrifice of civil defence organizations and volunteers but also underscores the need for collective action in ensuring the safety and resilience of communities worldwide.
Civil defence has evolved significantly over the years, adapting to the changing nature of threats and emergencies. Initially conceived during times of war to protect civilians from military attacks, civil defence now encompasses a broader spectrum of challenges, including natural disasters, pandemics, terrorism, and technological hazards.
One of the central themes of World Civil Defence Day is the emphasis on preparedness. Communities that are well-prepared and equipped to respond effectively to emergencies are better positioned to minimize loss of life and property. Preparedness efforts include developing evacuation plans, conducting drills, investing in early warning systems, and educating the public about emergency procedures. 
Civil defence organizations play a pivotal role in safeguarding communities before, during, and after emergencies. These organizations coordinate response efforts, provide essential services such as search and rescue, medical assistance, and shelter management, and collaborate with government agencies, NGOs, and volunteers to ensure a comprehensive and efficient response.
Empowering communities to take an active role in their own safety is fundamental to effective civil defence. World Civil Defence Day serves as an opportunity to engage with communities, raise awareness about potential hazards, and promote individual and collective actions to mitigate risks. By fostering a culture of resilience and preparedness, communities can become more self-reliant and better able to withstand and recover from disasters.
Disasters and emergencies transcend borders, underscoring the importance of international cooperation and solidarity. On World Civil Defence Day, countries around the world come together to share best practices, exchange resources, and strengthen global partnerships for disaster risk reduction and emergency response.
As we commemorate World Civil Defence Day, let us reaffirm our commitment to building safer, more resilient communities. By prioritizing preparedness, investing in civil defence capabilities, and fostering collaboration at all levels, we can mitigate the impact of emergencies and ensure a more secure future for generations to come.

विश्व नागरिक सुरक्षा दिवस, हर साल 1 मार्च को मनाया जाता है, जो नागरिक सुरक्षा और आपातकालीन तैयारियों के महत्वपूर्ण महत्व की वैश्विक ��नुस्मारक के रूप में का���्य करता है। यह दिन न केवल नागरिक सुरक्षा संगठनों और स्वयंसेवकों के समर्पण और बलिदान का सम्मान करता है, बल्कि दुनिया भर में समुदायों की सुरक्षा और लचीलापन सुनिश्चित करने के लिए सामूहिक कार्रवाई की आवश्यकता को भी रेखांकित करता है।
पिछले कुछ वर्षों में खतरों और आपात स्थितियों की बदलती प्रकृति के अनुरूप नागरिक सुरक्षा में उल्लेखनीय विकास हुआ है। शुरुआत में युद्ध के समय नागरिकों को सैन्य हमलों से बचाने के लिए कल्पना की गई, नागरिक सुरक्षा में अब प्राकृतिक आपदाओं, महामारी, आतंकवाद और तकनीकी खतरों सहित चुनौतियों का एक व्यापक स्पेक्ट्रम शामिल है।
विश्व नागरिक सुरक्षा दिवस का एक केंद्रीय विषय तैयारियों पर जोर देना है। जो समुदाय आपात स्थिति में प्रभावी ढंग से प्रतिक्रिया करने के लिए अच्छी तरह से तैयार और सुसज्जित हैं, वे जीवन और संपत्ति के नुकसान को कम करने के लिए बेहतर स्थिति में हैं। तैयारी के प्रयासों में निकासी योजना विकसित करना, अभ्यास आयोजित करना, प्रारंभिक चेतावनी प्रणालियों में निवेश करना और जनता को आपातकालीन प्रक्रियाओं के बारे में शिक्षित करना शामिल है।
नागरिक सुरक्षा संगठन आपात्कालीन स्थिति से पहले, उसके दौरान और बाद में समुदायों की सुरक्षा में महत्वपूर्ण भूमिका निभाते हैं। ये संगठन प्रतिक्रिया प्रयासों का समन्वय करते हैं, खोज और बचाव, चिकित्सा सहायता और आश्रय प्रबंधन जैसी आवश्यक सेवाएं प्रदान करते हैं, और व्यापक और कुशल प्रतिक्रिया सुनिश्चित करने के लिए सरकारी एजेंसियों, गैर सरकारी संगठनों और स्वयंसेवकों के साथ सहयोग करते हैं।
समुदायों को अपनी सुरक्षा में सक्रिय भूमिका निभाने के लिए सशक्त बनाना प्रभावी नागरिक सुरक्षा के लिए मौलिक है। विश्व नागरिक सुरक्षा दिवस समुदायों के साथ जुड़ने, संभावित खतरों के बारे में जागरूकता बढ़ाने और जोखिमों को कम करने के लिए व्यक्तिगत और सामूहिक कार्यों को बढ़ावा देने के अवसर के रूप में कार्य करता है। लचीलेपन और तैयारी की संस्कृति को बढ़ावा देकर, समुदाय अधिक आत्मनिर्भर बन सकते हैं और आपदाओं का सामना करने और उनसे उबरने में बेहतर सक्षम हो सकते हैं।
आपदाएँ और आपात्कालीन स्थितियाँ सीमाओं को पार कर जाती हैं, जो अंतर्राष्ट्रीय सहयोग और एकजुटता के महत्व को रेखांकित करती हैं। विश्व नागरिक सुरक्षा दिवस पर, दुनिया भर के देश सर्वोत्तम प्रथाओं को सा��ा करने, संसाधनों का आदान-प्रदान करने और आपदा जोखिम में कमी और आपातकालीन प्रतिक्रिया के लिए वैश्विक साझेदारी को मजबूत करने के लिए एक साथ आते हैं।
जैसा कि हम विश्व नागरिक सुरक्षा दिवस मनाते हैं, आइए हम सुरक्षित, अधिक लचीले समुदायों के निर्माण के लिए अपनी प्रतिबद्धता की पुष्टि करें। तैयारियों को प्राथमिकता देकर, नागरिक सुरक्षा क्षमताओं में निवेश करके और सभी स्तरों पर सहयोग को बढ़ावा देकर, हम आपात स्थिति के प्रभाव को कम कर सकते हैं और आने वाली पीढ़ियों के लिए अधिक सुरक्षित भविष्य सुनिश्चित कर सकते हैं।
