Today in Labor History December 3, 1984: A methyl isocyanate leak from a Union Carbide plant in Bhopal, India, killed over 3,800 people and injured up to 600,000 more. Up to 16,000 people died, in total, over the years following the disaster. The Government of Madhya Pradesh has paid compensation to family members of 3,787 of the victims killed. Numerous local activist groups emerged to support the victims of the disaster, like Rashida Bee and Champa Devi Shukla, who won the Goldman Prize in 2004. Many of the activists were subjected to violent repression by the police and government. Larger international groups, like Greenpeace and Pesticide Action Network also got involved. The disaster has played a role in numerous works of fiction, including Arundhati Roy’s “The Ministry of Utmost Happiness” (2017) and Indra Sinha’s “Animal’s People” (2007). It has also been referenced in music by the Revolting Cocks “Union Carbide” and the Dog Faced Hermans ”Bhopal.”

On December 3rd 1919 the Quebec Bridge opened to the general public - it had opened in August of that year under military control. It still holds the distinction of the longest cantilever bridge span in the world. But it was costly in terms of time, money and lives. The project failed twice during its construction, in 1907 and 1916, at the cost of 88 lives and took more than 30 years to complete.

"State seismologists warned of life-threatening tsunamis after a massive magnitude 6.9 earthquake struck the waters off Hinatuan town in Surigao Del Sur on Saturday night.
The tremors were felt northeast of Hinatuan at 10:37 p.m. Its depth of focus was just eight kilometers deep, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) said.
Immediately after the quake, Phivolcs warned tsunamis which are expected to hit the affected areas between 10:37 p.m. and 11:59 p.m. on Saturday. " #phillippines #tsunami #earthquake #disaster

Finality of Dusk is set in the year 2045. It’s a film about the few humans remaining on earth following an environmental disaster. Because of the poisonous air, those still alive must wear filtration masks in order to survive.
Katarina Ziervogel, a member of Sagkeeng First Nation in Manitoba, helped create the film. She is a deaf woman and brought a unique perspective to the main characters' interactions.
A quotation from Colton, Charles Caleb:
«
Times of general calamity and confusion have ever been productive of the greatest minds. The purest ore is produced from the hottest furnace, and the brightest thunderbolt is elicited from the darkest storm.

Maybe not a #disaster movie in the purest sense, but I found "The Impossible" to be at home in the genre.
Solid recreation of the tsunami & a plot that tugs appropriately at the heart strings. It's unfortunate the film whitewashed the main characters, but well-executed by Watts, McGregor & Holland.

For those interested in the work I've been doing with #AustraliareMADE on the public good and care through disaster the recording of our launch event is now available online.
Phase 2 of the project is an even simpler guide for policy makers and people wanting to put this work into action.

Today in Labor History November 9, 1963: At Miike coal mine, Miike, Japan, an explosion killed 458, and hospitalized 839 with severe carbon monoxide poisoning. Most of the survivors suffered permanent brain damage as a result. The miners’ exposure to the toxic gas was exacerbated by the mine’s ventilation system, which helped to spread the toxic gas, and by managers who wouldn’t let workers leave the mine. Just three years earlier, Miike miners had engaged in the largest labor-management dispute in Japanese history.

XR4DRAMA, an EU-funded innovation action that ran from late 2020 to mid 2023, was about enlisting #XR tech (and other gadgets) for #disaster management and #media production planning – and increasing situational #awareness.
We just received the official evaluation report, in which the EU reviewers stated that the project delivered "exceptional results with significant immediate or potential impact."
So this is a good time to re-share the XR4DRAMA #documentary, right?

Human-induced climate change and the Interconnected Disaster Risks report
"A risk tipping point is defined in the report as the moment at which a given socioecological system is no longer able to buffer risks and provide its expected functions, after which the risk of catastrophic impacts to these systems increases substantially. These diverse cases illustrate that risk tipping points extend beyond the single domains of climate, ecosystems, society or technology. Instead, they are inherently interconnected, and they are also closely linked to human activities and livelihoods."
“As we indiscriminately extract our water resources, damage nature and biodiversity, and pollute both Earth and space, we are moving dangerously close to the brink of multiple risk tipping points that could destroy the very systems that our life depends on."
Six tipping points triggering abrupt changes in our life-sustaining systems that can shake the foundations of our societies:
Accelerating extinctions
Groundwater depletion
Mountain glaciers melting
Space debris
Unbearable heat
Uninsurable future
"Solutions fall into two categories: Avoid solutions, which target root causes and drivers of risk to avoid risk tipping points altogether, and Adapt solutions, which help prepare or better address the negative impacts of risk tipping points if they cannot be avoided."

I'm on the NSW coast where in the space of two days we've had fire and flood warnings.
Our new report, “Care through Disaster: A new lens on what’s needed to thrive and survive in tumultuous times” shows that connected and cohesive communities are themselves essential tools for keeping communities safe and well.
This new research shows that preparing for disaster begins not with the fire trucks but with relationships and policies that build solidarity and maintain community cohesion.
We need to be investing in community connection as if our lives depend on it - because they do.

Can the organizers, who presumably obtained permits or otherwise formally agreed to conditions, be billed for the cleanup?
If not, I'm really interested in the "why not".

Last official update on the #mud #disaster at #BurningMan as of 9/2/23 10:45am "The gate and airport in and out of Black Rock City remain closed. Ingress and egress are halted until further notice. No driving is permitted except emergency vehicles. If you are in BRC, conserve food, water, and fuel, and shelter in a warm, safe space. More updates to come."

Strange #media and #journalism habit: quoting random (elected) #politicians about status on a #disaster, when those politicians don't know anything (instead of emergency managers and officials in charge of response).
Opinion: Seems like officials in #Lahaina are trying to rush into the "everything is normal" "we'll recover" "search is over" phase. vs. a careful sift-and-filter operation. My prediction is it will all bog down after a few skeletal remains are found by clearing/hazmat crews and they realize they didn't do a thorough search job for remains (bone fragments incinerated are not readily detectable by cadaver dogs). #Hawaii #wildfire #disaster
