To fail to prepare is to prepare to fail.
Preparedness is a collective responsibility.
Preparedness must reach all parts of society.

@paulbernal.bsky.social Only a matter of time before - due to #Krasnov's US CLOUD Act 2018 - personal data starts showing up in AI generated stuff.

But this, in the Review, is not. The UK is not air-dropping aid to Gaza. Have lodged a formal complaint with the Defence Sub-Committee. What other lies does it contain?

Gonna take the Strategic Defence Review 2025 with a BIG pinch of salt. In no sense is aid to Palestinians, however delivered, a British Govt priority. How many other falsehoods in this Review? Pointless lying isn't "bold and radical". No wonder the British mistrust the ruling classes.

12.5.2025 "Due to the reduction of the avian influenza risk to poultry and captive birds, plans have been announced to lift the Avian Influenza Prevention Zone (AIPZ) housing measures in England from 15 May 2025. AIPZ mandating strict biosecurity measures will remain in place across Great Britain."

The take-home message from those who experienced yesterday's five-country power outage seems to be: buy a battery-powered or wind-up radio. Lots of people saying the worst thing was not knowing what was going on. (Garicano is Professor of Public Policy at LSE.) #Resilience #Prepare

24.4.2024 [A YEAR AGO] Rt Hon Tobias Elwood has posted this today on Twitter, reacting to the country-wide power outages in Spain and Portugal.

Current Govt/national advice does NOT recommend stocking up on iodine tablets or candles.

France has been ready for ages (this image is from 2022). Remember to store enough water for everyone in your household for 72 hours. That's more important even than food. #Prepare #Resilience #CivilDefence

Came across this completely by chance on 29 March 2025. These plans were scrapped in September 2024 but suddenly in February 2025 they are reinstated, "fast-tracked" and there is a "public consultation"!? Deadline for receipt of submissions: 13 April 2025. consultcommunities.gov.uk/lggc/norfolk...

NATO: "Civil preparedness is a central pillar of Allies’ resilience and a critical enabler for the Alliance’s collective defence"

At the moment, UK - a member of NATO - does not appear to be fulfilling Article 3's baseline requirement to do with food and water security.

#Resilience is a dynamic process of adaptation to adversity or trauma - an outcome, not a personal quality. All need to learn this skill.

If, when you are out and about, you happen to see a packet of long grain rice on sale, you should probably buy it. India banned exports of rice 18 months ago and has only just, last month, started allowing export of *broken* rice to help poorer countries. #Resilience #Prepare

"The Swedish population has a duty to contribute to Sweden's total defence ... Everyone is obliged to contribute and everyone is needed."

"If Sweden is attacked by another country, we will never give up. All information to the effect that resistance is to cease is false."
