People's houses are collapsing into the ocean. FEMA gives them no other option

Waterfront homes are collapsing along the coast. Homeowners generally have plenty of warning before their house buckles. So why aren't most houses removed, or at least emptied, before they fall?

Drat, OSM has blocked my server for (too much tile usage). All public safety alerts. Anyone have an OSM tile server they don't mind me hitting for images? I guess too many wildfire evacuations and tornado warning and whatnot all in the last week. (I do *not* want to have to set up a tile server myself). Temporarily switching to the USGS. https://m.ai6yr.org/@easwatch/117068169972870239 #disasters #publicsafety #software #gis #openstreetmaps #osm

Before #2022, the engineers at #Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZPNN) — the largest in #europe — weren't revving up for an #invasion . They knew what to do without #electricity and were prepped for natural #disasters but a full-on occupation of their plant? Not something they’d prepared for.

The concept of a #bugoutbag is a very common and popular one, when thinking about #survival and #preparedness, the first thing you should do is assess actual #risks. The likelihood of facing an actual #evacuation scenario is infinitesimal for anyone who doesn't live in a place with frequent natural #disasters and very small for those who do. Growing up on the East Coast, hurricane evacuations aren't unheard of. Once, while I was at college in PGH, there was a train derailment/chemical spill.
