Ziekenhuizen zijn allesbehalve immuun voor rampspoed. Integendeel: ze zijn minstens zo kwetsbaar als de samenleving die zij dienen.
Rampen en crises binnen ziekenhuizen komen regelmatig voor. Sinds enkele jaren doe ik daar onderzoek naar.

Mijn interesse voor dit onderwerp kwam niet helemaal uit de lucht vallen. Of eigenlijk juist wel 😬
In 2017 kwam het plafond van onze SEH naar beneden. Gelukkig vielen hierbij geen doden of gewonden, maar het incident opende mijn ogen. Een onderzoekslijn was geboren 🧑🔬

Al van jongs af aan ben ik gefascineerd door rampen.
De tsunami in 2004, ik was 1e jaars geneeskundestudent, heeft een onuitwisbare indruk op mij gemaakt. Wat wilde ik die mensen graag helpen. Maar ik kon nog helemaal niks.
De behoefte om iets te doen is gebleven.

(1) We've had about a month since Hurricane #Elsa with quiet seas out in the Atlantic. That is about to change, as we approach peak season in late August/early Sept.
Some systems forming: nhc.noaa.gov/gtwo.php?basin…
Plus some E. Pacific storms.

(2) Now is not the time for states like FL to be tormented by partisan political division & the rejection of life-saving steps like #GetVaccinated & #MaskUp.
It's never the time, but especially not in peak hurricane season.

(3) That Facebook post was written by a woman in Houston, TX affected by one of the worst US hurricanes on record, #Harvey in 2017.
How I wish the level of partisan division in 2021 was lower, like it was 4 years ago.

Hurricane #Bill got a name but he's of no concern to me.
It's the future Hurricane #Claudette⚜️, (lovely Cajun name) that means y'all in her path must get #prepping today.

(2) Why on earth would a Kiwi fan of Margaret Thatcher be interested in US Gulf and Atlantic coast hurricanes?
Several reasons, but we'll start with being an earthquake survivor. (2011, NZ, 185 deaths in my city.)
It changed my life.

(3) Earthquakes can't be predicted. Anyone who claims they can is trying to scam you.
Hurricanes CAN be predicted.
So instead of despairing at the death toll each time, I promote #readiness and I fight #disinformation too.

Some people have pointed out the hardship of accumulating collective traumas in #Houston due to weather related events. It started for me in 2015, when I had to sleep in my car when the city flooded in a couple of hours around me. 1/
As I type it I feel stupid about it. I was able to be an immigrant in a city that has also been incredibly generous. I had a car which is definitely a privilege. I was in grad school in the United States while others have nothing. 2/
But the problem is that being grateful doesn't erase how things feel to you, how fucking scared I was that night. It doesn't erase the fact that back in Sonora there were days we didn't have water for days too. 3/
Go watch the Gotham series with new eyes and you will understand what is happening ..
There are Criminals running Gotham but soon realize, they are not really the ones running Gotham. They find out the 'Court Of Owls' are the ones ruling. The Criminals like 'The Riddler'

'Pinguin' and all the others are just small fry's that ended up working to help bring the REAL enemy down.
Quick Side note:
Jim Gordon was dating #LEE & Lost A child with one another.
Jim Gordon's partner is #Harvey Bullock
Penguin's Real Name is #Oswald Cobblepot

Each of the Criminals in the show is A Person in real life along with all the things they have done to People.
For example, The PIG -When you get to that Season/Episode, I'm sure you will figure out who that is in real life. Some disgusting things the PIG did to Humans.

I thought this was public comment, not explain away Houstonians concerns away.
"The ION is not just for Third Ward."
BUT IT'S IN THIRD WARD.

Also, lol, I would not talk about how there was a task force on the issue.
Today Puerto Rico Governor Wanda Vazquez announced and agreement with FEMA of $9.6 billion to rebuild Puerto Rico's electric grid and $2 billion to restore schools and educational facilities. Begin 🧵 @Boricuas4Biden
The announcement comes two days after Vice President Biden announced his Plan for Puerto Rico. Governor Vazquez is a Trump Republican. Nothing is a coincidence in an election year. joebiden.com/the-biden-harr…
Wanda ♥️ Trump like Joanie ♥️ Chachi

(1) Gather round for tonight's #HWstormwatch update. Getting to be too much info for one tweet at the moment.
For now, if you're in the states that are usually affected, you should be checking the forecast at least daily, if not twice a day.

(2) The X is where the storm is today. The circle is where it is forecast to be in 5 days' time.
The yellow one is going to move away from the US, phew. The orange one will likely end up getting a name. #Sally #Teddy or #Vicky.

(3) Storms develop and worsen quickly in the Gulf. So keep watch, if you are there.
In the recent #HurricaneLaura, at least one person died 200 miles inland, from a tree falling on their home.
So the risk these days can go far inland.

THREAD/ Yesterday, two years ago.
Me and five online friends watched as Twitter users pleaded for flood rescue during #Harvey. The 911 system went down. Fed, state and city officials told people to use 911, and not to use Twitter.
Me and five online friends watched as Twitter users pleaded for flood rescue during #Harvey. The 911 system went down. Fed, state and city officials told people to use 911, and not to use Twitter.
We saw as anxiety turned to fear, then terror.
We saw volunteers wasting critical time boating to homes based on outdated posts.
We decided to focus on supporting fed agencies by giving them actionable, accurate, timely data for search and rescue.

First up was the Google spreadsheet.
Then we coined the term #HarveySOS, and asked friends to go out and tag distress calls using that hashtag.
Another team grabbed those tagged tweets and entered them using consistent formatting.

Hello, it's me, your @HoustonChron housing reporter. This has exactly nothing to do with the lack of public housing space in Houston. So let's talk about what does.
First, some numbers. When @Housing4Houston opened the waitlist briefly back in 2016, almost 69,000 signed up. Not 100,000. We all like facts. That was the first time it opened in *four years.*
There was room for only 30,000

(3) Rescuers with part of the huge tree that fell on a home, killing 2 & critically injuring a 3rd occupant.
Tree broken off the stump, showing winds were strong enough that sodden soil wasn't always a factor. Being Cat 1 =/= low risk.
Literally a set of steps floating by.

(2) Official FEMA PSA on Hurricane Prep, please RT:
(3) The first clouds of #Florence arriving now. Please evacuate this afternoon, it's the last chance to do so safely. Eventually even first responders will stay put until she passes.
(1) The only time Democrats care about the US citizens of Puerto Rico is when they can make political hay out of them.
At all other times they ignore the territory & it's extreme poverty, economic dependency, & rampant political corruption.
Hurricane Maria deaths estimate.

(1) OK listen up. Hurricane #Florence is going to cause extreme flooding, wind & storm surge over a huge area. Due to shallow water off SC & NC, already sodden soil in ~6 states, & the storm's power, size, & forward speed. Explained in this brief story: axios.com/hurricane-flor…

(3) I'm going to add below some photos and other things from my 2017 coverage of #Harvey #Irma #Maria and #Nate. That storm season was a historic event in American emergency management and community life. There were moments like #NoPoliticsOnTheBoat:
1/ In the wake Hurricane #Harvey, reporter @neenareports set out to understand how 14,000 homes got built *inside* two Houston reservoirs. revealnews.org/episodes/the-t…
2/ More specifically, why had the Army Corps of Engineers allotted 50 square miles to flood – but only bought 38 square miles?
3/ People live in those other 12 square miles, after all. And about 5,000 of their homes flooded during #Harvey.
I keep hearing 7.1+ & seeing Oaxaca

I support this vital spending deal brokered between @POTUS and Congressional leaders. Brings much-needed relief to those hurt by #Harvey.
@POTUS Pleased we pulled the nation back from the brink again. I hope that it will bring a return to bipartisanship and regular order.
@POTUS We must stop moving from one manufactured crisis to the next. Congress needs to fund govt in a way that ensures stability and security.
Monday ppl as #failingpotus trys 2 tweet himself into being a hero of relief help we have some guidance 4 U. #Thread #harvey
First off, the other Alt's have wonderfully started relief in areas & ways that are surely immeasurable. #thanks
With all that help, we wanted 2 talk about some very overlooked self care. The FDA is covering stuff but we will go a bit deeper.
