Hi folks! My name is Cam. I made a more serious account here after a recommendation from another member. I am a government analyst in the emergency management sector, with a wildfire/response background. I live in a #pnw state. I currently work entirely on #FEMA recovery grants and damage assessments.Hoping to make semi-professional acquaintances and to share lessons learned. 👍Also interested in learning more about #hamradio #python and #wx

@ai6yr Folks should look up Jack Cohen from the Missoula Fire Science Lab, his work has been integral for FireWise and other building resiliency recommendations.Fun facts about homes and wildfires:- spraying water on lawns and homes won't stop a flaming front from burning over your home, it'll evaporate long before the front passes. People die each year trying to save their homes. You're more likely to put a camp fire out by pissing into it than using a 3/4 hose that may lose pressure...- most homes don't burn from 'direct flame impingement', aka the flames touching the house, it's from decks, full gutters, soffits, and vents that are not covered with fine mesh. Same goes for vents under houses- decks burn if you have debris, wood piles, or shrubs/vegetation too close to the deck. If you keep all debris away, it's harder for them to catch fire. Not impossible, more difficult. Build a stone patio instead. - mulch beds can convey flames to structures, try to keep a good barrier between your house and the mulch.More info here: https://research.fs.usda.gov/firelab

@wesley @ai6yr It's awful, I work for my state but in direct contact with our Regional staff through FEMA. The tactics from DHS, DOGE, and FEMA leadership are psychological abuse, plain and simple. They are absolutely harming these people who sacrifice so much to show up for us in our times of need. For shame, if the word had any meaning these days...

@futurebird I'm in my nearly mid 30s. My wife turns 30 today. We waited on a lot of things, including children, because we could not afford them, both time and money. I see my younger brother struggling to enter the dating pool, which I think is tied to how our society and its interaction within and without itself has changed in the last 20-30 years. I remember the times before cell phones and internet. It's just too easy to stay in and be plugged in. Like a dopamine drip.

@Nonilex Thanks for the thread. This is the same type of event that led to the historic Ice Storm Disaster in Oregon during early 2024. Well over $150m in damages, mostly to electrical distribution systems.
