Do you remember the Wow! Signal? It was a strong, peculiar radio signal from deep space detected by a #SETI project in 1977. See what researchers are saying about it now: buff.ly/IkLPxdv

The Trump Department of Justice just let UnitedHealth buy home care company Amedisys for $3.3 billion.
Amedisys is one of the largest home health providers and second largest hospice care provider in the United States.
UnitedHealth will now grow even bigger.

Food prices increased 23.6% from 2020 to 2024.
This is higher than overall inflation, which was at 21.2% during this period (and which was already near a record high).

An EOP (Emergency Operations Plan) is a crucial part of preparedness. It identifies every possible threat that could occur, and creates a step by step plan on procedures, as well as info for mutual aid agreements with neighboring counties, etc. Not having one would be a mortal sin for an EOC.
Reporting this morning indicates a refusal on the part of local authorities in Kerr County to even identify if they had an emergency management plan (which would include how to perform an evacuation). Dereliction of duty is what this is. It's appalling.
This is even worse because its not as if they had to run through a wall of bullets. They just had to get to the camp, wake people up, declare the emergency and go park in a high spot.
