2021 Round Up for the #TheRecoveryShelf - what’s been your must have and what’s on your book wish list? Light hearted, Self Help, Core text. Maybe even book of the year? @TheEPS1
It’s fair to say it’s been a bumper year for incredible disaster management writing @gillkernick @SamLMontano @amandacomms
Best reviewer as always @mtthwhgn
Book that helped me read properly again this year (and shook me out of pandy brain and post own-writing fatigue) was Magpie by @elizabday Incredibly tense and just precisely written to keep me page turning.
@Loobyloot’s Lighting the Fuse gave me the best sense of a life very well lived and such great insight into the world in which Lucy was operating
What’s been the most useful in your studies and course planning? @ambobird @n_rh1992 @Beverle20854611
Book that most accurately depicts the many moods on display in disaster recovery is this one. Get it for the kids in your life but also for you @TheEPS1 #TheRecoveryShelf @SystemsNinja

You were screaming for an extended lockdown and for the schools to stay shut
Meanwhile over in the mortuaries we were reminding the government planners that we would need provision for the children that were at risk of this exact fate…
One civil servant said to me that they could not understand why I was so worried - it would be only 6 weeks - surely no child’s circumstances would deteriorate that much in 6 weeks that they would die (a slow, horrible death) @SelfHarmRes @thelucyjohnston

There is always such an air of sneering smugness about the idea of people who fall for fake news. Things that I have seen labelled as fake news in my career: 1. That the police opened the gate 2. That first aid was deliberately held back due to fears of the crowd..3. The 9/11..
…dust contained carcinogens 4.Journalists were hacking the phones of bereaved 5. That there was collusion between police forces and major news outlets 6. That there were risks to children of the swine flu vaccine 7. That there was a serial killer operating in Greater Manchester
8. That Jimmy Saville was a paedophile 9. That Stuart Hall was a paedophile 10. That there might not be WMD 11. That the hands of the dead were removed in Marchioness disaster 12. That there were risks to women of vaginal mesh 13… and of J and J talcum powder…

Back in supermarket again (its BBQ weather) a lovely older couple of married women and one was saying "shall we try a new type of squash" and other said "after all we have been through this year, I think we should give it a go" and that my friends, is disaster survivance
“Survivance is more than survival. Survivance means redefining ourselves. It means raising our political and social consciousness. It means holding on to ancient principles while eagerly embracing change. It means doing what is necessary to keep our cultures alive”.
They went with a Raspberry and Cherry Mix and also some Robinsons lemon...

If you are an emergency planner, you knew there was never really a 21 June. It was always the one bit of the road map that didn't ring true. Once NPIs are put into a situation, they linger. When something is sold as a solution, people cling to them long after they are needed.
In my work I talk about "placebo sandbags" - distributed by responders in floods even when we know they won't work. But it makes people feel better.
Some restrictions will stay and I cannot see the govt relinquishing an ability to impose local measures any time soon. But know this - YOU did nothing wrong and none of this is a surprise to those of us who explored what an 'out' corona would mean. What we can do now is this...
