After 11 days, the #rhodesfires #rhodeswildfires are under control and mostly extinguished thanks to the heroic efforts of local villagers and foreign fire crews. Here’s to a much better tourist season! #faliraki #lindos #rhodes

Over a week and no relief. The people are scared and devastated, yet still fighting on the ground and supporting evacuees with food and shelter. Shame on @kmitsotakis for failing the people. #Rhodes #rhodesfires #rhodeswildfires

With the extreme heat and erratic winds, #rhodesfires #rhodeswildfires remain out of control after 7 days. The mayor has deserted & utterly failed the people of #Rhodes. Still they continue to fight & provide relief for the displaced. Send help @govgr

[New York Times World @nytimesworld]

Greece is carrying out what officials call its biggest evacuation in history, as residents and tourists flee wildfires in two more Greek destinations, Corfu and Evia. Elsewhere, blazes have gripped the island of Rhodes for seven days. https://t.co/rgTRynX4dB

As night falls in #rhodesgreece, locals & firefighters from abroad work tirelessly to slow the #rhodesfires #rhodeswildfires from advancing at Laerma, #Rhodes. Still no State of Emergency declared by municipal gov or @govgr. @RedCross @BBCWorld @nytimesworld @Reuters @CNN

[Composeurself @composeurself]

@olgakef Greece’s minister of tourism & @govgr are obviously not on the frontlines of #rhodesfires #rhodesgreece #rhodeswildfires. Winds and heat have made conditions extremely dangerous and erratic. Locals, tourists, & wildlife are at risk. #faliraki #lindos #rhodes @RedCross

Time to pressure @govgr @PrimeministerGR @USEmbassyAthens to help the people of #rhodesgreece as uncontrolled fires redirect toward more heavily populated resort areas & destroy local villages. This is not the time for a holiday #rhodesfire #rhodeswildfire #rhodesfire @RedCross

[Composeurself @composeurself]

Shame on @kmitsotakis and #Athens for lack of action on #rhodesfire #rhodesgreece #rhodeswildfire. #EU must push Athens to save the islands, the villages, and their people. Not a time to holiday in Rhodes. Contact your local government to #SaveRhodes @RedCross

[Composeurself @composeurself]

#rhodeswildfire #rhodesgreece Still no governmental relief on day 8 of uncontrolled fires. Now a shortage of bottled water for tourists & locals. Deer population has been decimated. Do not travel to Rhodes for a holiday. #faliraki #lindos #rhodes @RedCross @WorldWildlifeF

[Composeurself @composeurself]

#rhodeswildfire #rhodesgreece Armed security from #Athens are turning away local villagers & water trucks, preventing them from saving homes & villages. Still no State of Emergency declared (municipal or national) @CanadaGreece @kmitsotakis @USEmbassyAthens @RedCross

@YourAlberta @GoAHealth I think we all know that “what works” is never @YourAlberta’s approach.

[Composeurself @composeurself]

@YourAlberta @GoAHealth Will calling 211 get my 60+ parent a booster?

[Composeurself @composeurself]

@CMOH_Alberta You know who’d like to take protective covid measures? Seniors waiting for a forth dose. Ontarians already have that option. How many have to get severely sick before you do something to protect vulnerable populations?

[Composeurself @composeurself]

@CMOH_Alberta Do your job. Open up booster accessibility to adults.
