Question: my NET (Portland for "CERT") team uses FRS radios for communication. Now that I'm a ham, can I simply use my Yaesu FT-65 to communicate on the same frequency but with better range?
The existence of this frequency table suggests yes:

Travels ahead? Box in middle is RaspberryPi Zero 2W and it offers you full world street level maps. It works without Internet connectivity. Bill of materials at my Wiki [1] and total cost is like $80. Don't let Internet shutdowns to ruin your day.

Given some talks I had about this: don't forget about drinkable water!
Having days of food is not really that hard, but many of us living in places with drinkable tap water don't have enough water reserves for us and our little friends :DsaprvingLua:

Do you know what to do when #criticalinfrastructure goes down or some other major incident occurs? Here's the official Finnish #Preparedness Guide: https://www.suomi.fi/guides/preparedness/how-do-i-prepare-for-incidents-and-crises - While it is of course written from a Finnish point of view, it does contain some rather good advice in general.
@jiujensu@mas.toThis was really good, hopeful, encouraging on the political situation & #community. Also a reminder to kind of get over yourself and just do stuff. If you need that right now.

“If Sweden is attack…we will never give up. All information to the effect that resistance is to cease is false.”

""It’s the unknown unknowns that will get you every time!" - Futurist Jim Carroll
On February 12, 2002, United States Secretary of Defence Donald Rumsfeld answered a question at a U.S. Department of Defence (DoD) news briefing about the lack of evidence linking the government of Iraq with the supply of weapons of mass destruction to terrorist groups. His answer has since answered the lexicon of lore, as many people thought that it was fully intended to shield the department from any sort of criticism.
"Reports that say that something hasn't happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns—the ones we don't know we don't know. And if one looks throughout the history of our country and other free countries, it is the latter category that tends to be the difficult ones."
His answer, though, was based on what is known as the "Awareness-understanding matrix", which provides that there are known knowns, known unknowns, unknown knows, and unknown unknowns. Complicated but helpful - when you study it, it makes sense. Things we are aware of and understand; things we are aware of but don't understand; things we are not aware of but understand or know implicitly; and then, the things we are neither aware of nor understand.
In that context, later this morning I'll speak to a room full of insurance CEOs and other senior executives from the industry at a major insurance conference. To get ready for the event, I grabbed about 1,500 articles about the latest trends impacting the insurance industry and used Google Notebook to analyze these articles for key bits of insight.
I will be speaking, among many other issues, about the future of insurance risk, and in that context, will impress upon them that it's the "unknown unknowns" they should worry about - the things they are neither aware of nor understand.
What are those unknown unknowns? In a brief moment of inspiration, I fed it this prompt, in effect asking the AI to analyze these 1500 articles and summarize them.
This is what it came back with, which I worked into my slide deck:
"The insurance industry is caught in a whirlwind: climate volatility, liability inflation, data chaos, talent scarcity, and relentless regulatory pressures, all while battling public mistrust and the nagging fear that tomorrow's risks are growing faster than our capacity to cover them”
That pretty much summarizes my slide deck!
Futurist Jim Carroll has spoken at over 200 insurance and risk-related events throughout the years.

Time to get my first radio. Reddit seems to like the Yaesu FT-65R. What say you, Mastodon?
My main interest is emergency preparedness, including communicating following the Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquake.
@mountainwitch Hm. That‘s exactly my approach. An idea: Why not form a community of like-minded, skilled people here on mastodon, keep it going as long as possible and answer questions? Everyone has a skill and a talent, I guess. One could share ideas, concepts, get to know new approaches, and adapt them. The more you know, the quicker you learn, right? #socialprepping #preparedness #prepper #prepping
As severe weather looms over the Midwest and South, it's a stark reminder of our planet's unpredictability. Are we prepared for the storms ahead, both literally and metaphorically? 
#ClimateChange #Preparedness
I had the vague impression that my Midland LXT600PA had some additional modes that I would be allowed to access with a Technician license, but as there's nothing about it in the manual, I don't believe this is the case.
I guess my next step is finding some local hams (probably at the next Citywide Deployment Exercise) and asking to see their rigs. I imagine I'll get an earful.
Was ich echt mal gerne machen würde (und vielleicht auch mache, irgendwann in den nächsten Jahren):
Einen Preparedness-Stammtisch hier im Rhein-Main-Gebiet ins Leben rufen.
Da gibt's so viele spannende Unterthemen, und ein Austausch mit Interessierten wäre wirklich cool.
(Dumme Witze über Prepper gibt es bei dem Thema ja immer wieder. Aber komische Gestalten kann man wahrscheinlich schon damit abhalten, dass man in der Terminankündigung gendert.

5 years ago today, the WHO officially described #COVID19 as a #pandemic. 
IMI project CARE played a crucial role in advancing our understanding of SARS-CoV-2 and expanding the available therapeutic tools to address COVID-19. 
Its research has also laid the groundwork for improving preparedness for future pandemics.
