If only they'd included the Homewood branch. An unmitigated disaster of a post office: long lines, packages routinely lost/misdelivered, zero responsive to complaints.

I still don't think most politicians are aware that Foodbank sells food to local charities to then onsell/give away

Ozharvest gives all their fresh items to charities on the ground for free, SecondBite has a mix of free fresh stuff and onsold "frozens"

www.abc.net.au/news/2026-09...
Politicians from both sides of the aisle admire the charity's work. "HHH shows up week after week to give people affordable access to food and basics, but in times of disaster and crisis the team is extraordinarily responsive," said Labor MP Susan Templeman, whose federal seat of Macquarie includes the Hawkesbury. "As a local charity, they understand the unique geography and the people of the Hawkesbury region." Ms Templeman said she provided a federal grant for the organisation in 2024 aimed at their volunteers and that federal funding of at least $20 million had been given to food relief providers who were among those that donated supplies to HHH. "The benefits of federal funding to organisations like Foodbank, Second Bite, and OzHarvest flows through to communities thanks to the work of local charities like HHH."

Elon Musk put fields of Tesla batteries on the Memphis aquifer. I asked Shelby County for its disaster plan for them.

The answer: no responsive records. The plan is from 2021 and covers five hazards. Batteries aren't one.

Yikes. It looks like he still uses his phone to translate what’s being said to him. And his answers are non-responsive and border on being incoherent. What a disaster.

Wolf Blitzer: Why is Israel, another country, your red line right now, this is what your critics are saying, rather than a domestic issue that impacts Americans' everyday lives?

John Fetterman, visibly confused throughout the entire interview: Yeah, absolutely.

Due to the emergency nature, it was not a competitive bidding process.

Although emergency rules allowed NCEM to bypass normal competitive bidding during the disaster

selected SLS as the lowest responsive bidder.

i agree with you!

the problem is, i completely think AI *can* be achieved through what would be described as an engineering disaster.

but, personally, I don't see that being the case actively. the technology is currently positively responsive to the engineering power being thrown at it, and /

Our new guide: "What Do We Say When the Storm Comes?" includes action plans for building a responsive preparedness plan.

So when climate events inevitably strike, your org is ready both to serve your communities and build lasting power.

Read it today: www.wemakethefutureaction.us/resources-do...
Lesson card on a bright teal background. Header reads "Lesson 1: We Don't Have the 'Break Glass Plan' in Hand." PROBLEM: "When climate disasters strike, organizers and communicators can be left scrambling, sprinting to create systems on the fly and missing opportunities that might cost our communities dearly." ACTION PLAN: "Create a Climate Disaster Response Plan that includes what actions to take, which decisions need to be made, and WHO will make them." An illustration of a clipboard with checkboxes and a pencil appears in the lower right. Lesson card on a bright teal background. Header reads "Lesson 2: We've Got a Brilliant Bottleneck." PROBLEM: "Many groups have one person with all of the context, permissions, and skills to build successful responses in short time frames. When climate disasters strike, that individual is asked to do too much, while others don't have the on-ramps to contribute." ACTION PLAN: "A good disaster response requires distributed action, with everyone across the organization understanding the plan, and many hands executing to meet the moment." An illustration of a bottleneck diagram with red dots flowing through a narrow point appears in the lower right. Lesson card on a bright teal background. Header reads "Lesson 3: We're Stuck in Between Permissions and Protocols." PROBLEM: "Some organizations have structural limitations that can prevent a timely response to unfolding events." ACTION PLAN: "Create clear protocols of who can steer which communication channels and what flexibility exists to meet the moment outside of narrow campaign definitions." An illustration of a hand holding a shield with a key appears in the upper right. Lesson card on a bright teal background. Header reads "Lesson 4: When We're In Doubt, We Phone a Friend – Personal Networks Stand in For Infrastructure." PROBLEM: "Without a clear plan of how an organization should respond in a climate crisis moment, staff naturally fall back on personal networks – but when that happens ad hoc, it can lead to disjointed action, duplicated efforts, and missed opportunities." ACTION PLAN: "Before a crisis hits, create a space for the team to map out their skills, personal networks, and community ties. Build that knowledge into your Climate Disaster Response Plan."

🌊 Disaster aid is being politicized. Washington has taken far less responsive action for states experiencing natural disasters if their leadership held dissenting political views.

Abuja, April 28, 2026 (Naija247news) – The World Food Programme (WFP) of the United Nations says it spent about five million dollars (approximately N7.4 billion) on Shock-Response and Social Protection (SRSP) interventions in Nigeria in 2025, as part of efforts to address rising food insecurity and disaster-related vulnerabilities. The Acting Country Director of WFP, Serigne Loum, disclosed this at the inauguration of the Shock-Responsive Social Protection (SRSP) Technical Working Group and Validation of Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) workshop held in Abuja on Thursday.
