In this special edition of the Expert Series @EvaCohenCanada joined Climate Security Programme Director Pauline Baudu to discuss how civil–military cooperation in Canada is adapting to address climate change-driven disasters. @NATO_CCASCOE https://t.co/75rReoLrVt
Should Canada have a civil defence force?
Absolutely. Best if it is citizen-based like 🇩🇪 #THW (Federal Agency for Technical Relief) and has #allhazard#capabilities -including emergency infrastructure repair and provision.

Wildfires in Newfoundland and Labrador have rapidly worsened. Canadian Armed Forces members and Canadian Coast Guard teams are hard at work to deliver critical supplies and firefighting support, with further support arriving today to assist local first responders.
I just spoke with Premier Hogan about the escalating situation, and reiterated that the federal government stands ready to provide whatever additional support is needed. To all those affected; we are here for you and will take every measure necessary to keep Canadians safe.
As wildfires persist in communities across Canada, I convened the Incident Response Group to discuss efforts involving all orders of government to fight the fires and support evacuations.
Most recently, Canadian Armed Forces personnel have been mobilized to assist with the evacuation of Sandy Lake First Nation in Ontario.
The federal government stands ready to provide additional support wherever needed. Our ongoing thanks to all first responders and volunteers on the ground fighting to protect our communities.
#ONStorm#ONwx Yikes! Some of the poorest air quality in North America is currently being reported across Southern Ontario this evening.
Windsor, Kitchener, Toronto, Peterborough, Muskoka and Ottawa are seeing ‘unhealthy’ levels of air pollution.
What is it like in your area?

More than 218,000 customers remain without power. Safety is our top priority. We urge customers to stay away from downed power lines, trees and any damaged electrical equipment. Crews are working hard to restore power as quickly and safely as possible. Stay safe. #ONStorm
"Canadians are not a passive people. We don’t sit back and let history happen to us. We leap to our feet — on the ice or during a crisis.
Imagine if we channeled that energy into national readiness."

Hier erklärt Marco Rubio, wie die USA versprochen haben, die Ukraine für immer zu verteidigen, wenn sie ihr Atomwaffenarsenal nach dem Fall der Sowjetunion abschaffen.
Deshalb ist der kleine Marco in die Couch gesunken. Er hoffte, man würde es nicht finden … also retweete es in diesem Moment.
Gefunden bei @CalltoActivism:
"An alle MAGAs, die meckern, dass wir der Ukraine nichts schulden …
Am 5. Dezember 1994 gab die Ukraine bei einer Zeremonie in Budapest gemeinsam mit Weißrussland und Kasachstan ihre Atomwaffen ab und erhielt im Gegenzug Sicherheitsgarantien von den USA, Großbritannien, Frankreich, China und Russland.
Informieren Sie sich über die Versprechen, die unser Land (und andere) gemacht haben, und was das für die Diplomatie bedeutet!"
Currently, the Canadian Center for Cyber Security is detecting almost three imminent ransomware attacks a day and warning gov't agencies and private companies. But they don't always believe the warning is real. My exclusive interview with Rajiv Gupta tonight on The National.
This is one of the many aspects that urgently needs to be included into 🇨🇦 NAS (National Adaptation Strategy). The advisory table I had the privilege to participate in was originally called "disaster resilience & security" - but #security was dropped
Climate policy is security policy – the newly published 🇩🇪 National Interdisciplinary Climate Risk Assessment (NiKE) underlines this point. This assessment shows how the climate crisis threatens our security in Germany and Europe. (2/2)

The primary role of government is to protect its citizens.
The blame can not be shifted to things beyond control or stakeholders who did not deliver.

“I believe my being here made a difference,” Mr. Radin said.
Empowering citizens to have a role in #disaster#response when impact is beyond #emergency level is crucial.
🇨🇦 needs a #civilprotection approach to get ready for the challenges ahead

What is ‘Kessler Syndrome’ — and why do some scientists think the space disaster scenario has already started?

Am I the only one who thinks that the "fall-out" and "dramatic" exit are "staged" to allow her a better chance for leadership than she would have had still attached to his hip ?! 🤔
