Second half of my #tornado safety & #preparedness for children & #families is now available. I expanded on learning from the previous comic strip & included some bi-lingual moments (65+m speak #Spanish at home in USA). 🙏 @AmericaGaviria for translations share.pixton.com/qe300ri 
I wanted the comic to be whimsical and fun to read whilst addressing some of the issues around conversations with kids on safety and preparedness in severe weather events. #wxtwitter
Thinking about family members that may have grown up in another country with an absence of certain hazards (e.g., tornadoes) is important. Talking with them is a greta first step...
De huidige uitbraak van #vogelgriep is zorgelijk.
Er is gelukkig nog geen bewijs voor mogelijke mens-op-mens verspreiding en zeer beperkt bewijs voor verspreiding tussen zoogdieren.
Maar dit is wel hét moment om de #preparedness riemen aan te trekken

hoe groot de kans is op een uitbraak onder mensen, wat de route van het virus zal zijn, hoeveel slachtoffers er kunnen vallen: geen idee ⁉️
Maar volgens Ron Fouchier heeft het virus maar een handvol genetische aanpassingen nodig om #pandemic te worden

Het is daarom slim om nu na te gaan: welke lessen uit de #coronapandemie willen we dan meenemen?
We weten dat
- snel handelen in beginfase essentieel is
- er dan nog veel onzekerheid zal zijn
Welke bruikbare #communicatie lessen komen dan van pas?

No quería, pero veo tanto tweet y noticia alarmista que al final me he decidido a escribir un hilo: ¿De verdad hay riesgo nuclear en 🇪🇸? ¿Corro a la farmacia a comprar el yodo? ¿Que hago para prepararme? #cbrn #preparedness

Erste SARS-CoV-2 Rekombinanten in Österreich
In Proben wurde eine noch nicht beschriebene Rekombination von BA.2 mit dem Spike von BA.1.1 bestätigt. Was bedeutet Rekombination bei Coronaviren? Ist das epidemiologisch bzw. klinisch relevant? Und was tut sich international? 1/8

Coronaviren verändern nicht nur einzelne genetische Buchstaben, sondern können auch größere genetische Regionen austauschen. Voraussetzung dafür ist, daß ein Wirt von zwei Viren gleichzeitig infiziert wird, und beide in dieselbe Zelle eindringen. (Grafik: Lara Herrero) 2/8
Beides zusammen ist unwahrscheinlich, aber bei hohen Infektionszahlen möglich. Bisher in UK, FR und DK beschriebene SARS-CoV-2 Rekombinante inkludieren Delta+BA.1 („Deltacron“, XD), BA.1+BA.2 (XE) und auch Delta+BA.2 (XF). Siehe Abbildung von @UKHSA Technical Briefing #39. 3/8
Scherpe column ⤵️👍🏻
“Of is het omdat onder de doden zoveel coronapatiënten waren? Die heten vaak niet eens patiënten, die heten ‘druk op de zorg’. Van druk op de zorg komen beperkingen en die beperkingen vinden we verschrikkelijk, dus het betreft hier eigenlijk doden die ons tot last zijn geweest”
Mij valt op dat wanneer men zegt dat de maatregelen niet (meer) in verhouding staan tot de opbrengst, men vaak kijkt naar het aantal #covid19 zieken en doden op dat moment
En niet naar het aantal dat was geweest zónder maatregelen

"Responding to outbreaks tomorrow is about preparing today." #ph260720 #pandemicpreparedness
Do you think the US should invest more funds to preparing for future pandemics? #ph260720 #pandemicpoll
Every time there's been an outbreak around the world, there's been a large investment in trying to mitigate and eliminate these threats. But we need to invest for the future, where we could face something worse. #ph260720 #preparedness

PhD thesis examination of Liangliang Lu has started. Exciting! I'll try live tweeting first time. Let's see how it goes. :) @MerikotkaCentre @AaltoENG
By the means modelling, the thesis contributes to advancing the #riskmanagement of #oil spills in
ice conditions, focusing on #pollution #preparedness and response.
ice conditions, focusing on #pollution #preparedness and response.
First the system that generates the risk (Accident -> Collision & oil outflow -> oil drifting -> response and recovery) is developed. It is then used to identify critical factors related to (a) the accident aspects and (b) the response aspect.

So #ICYMI #OnThisDay in 1974, and into the following day, was the #Tornado #SuperOutbreak This montage of images is on the @NWS pages at: weather.gov/iln/19740403
I have the following image as a poster in my office for several reasons, which I will expound upon in subsequent tweets. Firstly it was produced by hand by Theodore ‘Ted’ Fujita, who developed the F-scale (later the EF-Scale based in wind intensity and damage.
What I really noticed in the key/legend on the map was how he was also looking at the type of structure where fatalities occurred, something that other scientists (@StephenMStrader) were looking at before I came along, but once you start, you can’t stop. I’m pretty much obsessed.
Personal #preparedness lessons from the #wind #storm: 1. Upgraded UPS units worked great, much better than UPS-destroying planned blackout. APC 19 inch rackmount units, ex-corporate units. 1/x
2. SMA solar inverter's SPS (Secure Power Supply) worked very well for recharging 2 of the 3 identical model UPS units. Third triggered GFCI outlet I have on the SPS every time. 2/
3. UPS unit powering my switch, Wi-Fi router lasted 5 hours before I had to charge it with the solar. Another UPS--with new batteries from Amazon--powering just few other components lasted 3.5 hours, those batteries are not very good. UPS on desktop only lasted 2 hours. 3/

When children are given accurate, clear information in accessible, age-appropriate ways, they are highly motivated to help reduce emergency and disaster risks, both at home and in their communities.
Children can contribute to community resilience.
