The project is a systems-thinking & capability-based planning critique. Core question: Can structured tools truly capture systemic interdependencies and improve risk-informed decision-making in practice, or do they oversimplify complex realities? (2/4)

Seeking a PhD Supervisor for 2026: I'm a Canadian EM professional (hazard-risk, resilience planning, CI) aiming to bridge a critical gap between practice and academia. My research will evaluate a specific, internationally-adopted resilience assessment tool used in disaster risk reduction. (1/4)

They are living in an alternate reality, the mirror world and it feels so defeating.

Federal election, you are officially my last hope.

Any other Canadians having nightmares of Tesla's? Like from the scene in Leave the World Behind.

This looks vague as hell

Yes, EM should be led primarily at the local level in terms of response, but with RESOURCES. You can't just cut off top-down support without addressing the gaps in local resources, training, and expertise.

The takes I see on this issue, miss the mark... 🤦🏻‍♀️

I seem to not be seeing any fighting back?

My Twitter has been deleted since the musk takeover.

Amazon Prime and video canceled, deleted.

Any Canadians feeling doomy gloomy today? Uncomfortable? Mortified? A fascist autocratic regime rising just 19km away from my home, it's not just another country, it's our neighbour, a stone throw away.
