There are definitely many variables, and hypothermia is really an issue. I just wanted to be aware of the most critical situation. Cities with lower elevations near sea and or rivers are more suspectable to flooding due to climate change etc.

Recently, we had a flooding in Spain where the emergency signal came too late. Last year, there was one in South-Brasil where help couldn’t be delivered easily, because the roads and airports were inundated.

Other examples according to Mistral AI, fyi:

Flood events where help arrived after 72 hours are often large-scale disasters that overwhelm initial response capabilities. Here are some notable examples:

1. Hurricane Katrina (2005)

   • Location: Gulf Coast of the United States, particularly New Orleans, Louisiana.
   • Description: Hurricane Katrina caused catastrophic flooding due to levee failures. The response was delayed, and many residents were stranded for days without food, water, or medical supplies. The federal response, including FEMA, was widely criticized for its slowness and inefficiency.
   • Help Arrival: Significant federal aid and rescue operations ramped up several days after the hurricane made landfall, with many areas not receiving help until well after 72 hours.

2. Hurricane Harvey (2017)

   • Location: Texas and Louisiana, United States.
   • Description: Hurricane Harvey brought unprecedented rainfall, leading to severe flooding in Houston and other areas. The flooding overwhelmed local emergency services, and many residents had to wait for days for rescue and relief.
   • Help Arrival: The National Guard, Coast Guard, and other federal agencies conducted large-scale rescue operations that continued for days after the storm. Many affected individuals were rescued after 72 hours, and recovery efforts extended for months.

3. Pakistan Floods (2010)

   • Location: Pakistan.
   • Description: The 2010 Pakistan floods were caused by heavy monsoon rains and affected approximately one-fifth of the country’s land area. The floods displaced millions of people and caused widespread destruction.
   • Help Arrival: International aid and relief efforts took several days to fully mobilize. Many affected areas were inaccessible due to flooded roads and infrastructure damage, delaying the arrival of help.

4. Hurricane Maria (2017)

   • Location: Puerto Rico.
   • Description: Hurricane Maria caused catastrophic damage to Puerto Rico, including widespread flooding, power outages, and infrastructure destruction. The island’s remote location and the scale of the disaster complicated response efforts.
   • Help Arrival: Significant federal aid and relief efforts were delayed, with many areas not receiving help until days after the hurricane. The slow response was criticized, and recovery efforts took months and even years.

5. Midwest Floods (2019)

   • Location: Midwest United States, including Nebraska, Iowa, and Missouri.
   • Description: The 2019 Midwest floods were caused by heavy rainfall and snowmelt, leading to widespread flooding along the Missouri River and its tributaries. The floods damaged homes, infrastructure, and agricultural land.
   • Help Arrival: The scale of the flooding overwhelmed local response capabilities, and federal aid, including the National Guard, was mobilized to assist with rescue and recovery efforts. Many affected areas had to wait for days for significant help to arrive.

6. India Floods (2018)

   • Location: Kerala, India.
   • Description: The 2018 Kerala floods were caused by unusually high monsoon rainfall, leading to widespread flooding and landslides. The floods displaced over a million people and caused significant damage to infrastructure.
   • Help Arrival: The Indian government, along with international aid organizations, conducted large-scale rescue and relief operations. However, the scale of the disaster meant that many areas had to wait for days for help to arrive.

These examples highlight the challenges and complexities of responding to large-scale flood events, where the initial response is often overwhelmed, and significant help may arrive after the critical 72-hour window.

What else will be seen in a new light?

It’s all context. There is a fine line between stupid and genius.

Tnx people for all your suggestions and advice. It helped me isolate my perceived worst case emergency. This would be a flood, as in all other events I’ll be dead, or it will be very doable. So if there’s a flood, this would likely mean, no water, energy, electricity, communications and probably no help, for days minimum.

For clean water access, apparently a small portable (old school) waterfiltration system would be the best option, in combination with some bottled water.

Yes, culprits get automacally placed in prison. It’s fully automated with AI.

Anyone tried water purifying tablets yet, and would you recommend them?

So, I did some research a little while ago, bottled (supermarket) water will stay good for a year, officially . Anything else ( like water filled jerrycan) goes bad after some days and needs a waterfilter and/or water purifying tablets.

It’s all very complicated and uncertain, and I understand only a bit of it, but basically yes.

Are there any insights on what the policy

Afaik, they’d like a more moderate leader.

These are quite recent developments. If you want some updates & insight Lei’s Real Talk - YouTube channel is recommended. Also, consider that all news from China is heavily censored, and “good info” is hard to get by.

There is a power struggle going on in the CCP and Xi is losing.

Yes, and acccording to the most recent news/rumors a new CCP leader is expected to be announced rather sooner than later. Most probably next 21st official Party Congress (link).

The whole article is very entertaining.

Yup , “something funny” is going on, as Inspector Clouseau would say.

I was just checking about the clash and found this article and quote:

" According to a source within French intelligence quoted by CNN, at least one Rafale fighter jet was reportedly shot down by the Pakistani military during the clashes on the night of May 6. We reached out to the French Ministry of the Armed Forces, which said it did not want to comment on “rumours".

TLDR: the source here is again the French Intelligence, while officials didn’t want to comment on rumours.

Well, I get your gist. Funny how this action in this 2025 world seems more " sane", probably true.

Though we don’t know yet what kind of diplomatic pressure was used ( eg. ask The Philippines about greyzone pressure).

I also find it noteworthy that this info was only to be disclosed without mentioning which intelligence service was the source, and the headlines read " French intelligence "… But, I’m not expert.

What a Fucking Legend!!! People such as her should be our icons

Great pickup up and I fully agree.

A very proactieve protestor and spunky woman of the cloth, who seems to have been arrested 27-28 times already. According to this profile publication she claims she “has militant dna, as a maternal ancestor was accused of sedition in the 18th century”.

It’s needed to appease Ursula’s little friends

Not really, NATO and EC( Ursula) are two different entities. She’s facing charges, for her vaccine deals. Nothing to do with defense.

Opinion article. Also they missed many NATO Top nuances, like the whole political game. But yes, NATO members in Europe have been spending more, and more defense is and was needed.

Sketchy newspaper site run by a sketchy ceo and owned by a foundation which is run by a sketchy non-profit foundation.

OP also only posts his news from the one specific news site.

Great! Just saw total signatures 832.969 atm.

Lol shit, needed to re-read your comment 3 times before I saw my typo… Changed and tnx !

Maybe use this proper official # stopkillinggames EU Link directly.

edit: typo killing

where have I heard this before? *cough* Atomic waste *

They have started to relocate hundreds of thousands of barrels containing nuclear waste from nuclear plants somewhere at 3 km depth in the Atlantic to check their containment integrity. I guess more and more surprises will turn up, as a result of our past dumping solutions. I believe they have also dumped some, in or near the area of an ancient primal forrest in Poland

But you are right. How will we contain all this waste?

India times has a mixed reliability. But other sources like Le Monde 4th April, and other news outlets from Hungary, attest Hungarys Economic woes from an Eurostat report.
