Interesting, the Texas Department of State Health Services had put in a new requirement (post Camp Mystic) that all youth camps have fiber optic Internet service. (being challenged in court)

"...The Texas Department of State Health Services has reached an agreement with a group of youth camp operators regarding legal requirements that all camps licensed by DSHS maintain fiber optic internet service.

Under the agreement, camps that maintain a redundant, broadband internet service will not face potential license denial or revocation for not having fiber service during the 2026 camping season, as long as they meet all other safety requirements...."

LA Times: More than 200,000 lost their homes in the L.A. County fires. For people already on the streets, the damage ran deeper

"...National data found each home lost to climate disasters per 10,000 people correlates with a 1 percentage point increase in homelessness....Four recently published UCLA-led studies draw a direct line between climate disasters, housing instability and homelessness, with researchers pointing to the 2025 Los Angeles County wildfires as one of the starkest recent examples...."

Oooh, they teach the "three pot" method like we did in scouts for washing dishes.

1. Hot wash with a little bit of soap
2. Hot rins pot
3. Cold rinse pot with sanitizing tablets and/or a few drops of bleach

(this assumes you have a way to heat water, of course).

Hmm, I don't have an angle grinder/bolt cutters in my disaster prep kit... Waffle House does. What do they know that I do not know?

24 disaster declaration requests in process, curious how many of these will be denied. For those not familiar with FEMA, these all require a signature from the WH, which doesn't want FEMA to exist. I have never seen 24 of these in queue like this before, unsure if that's more disasters or these are bogged down.

Politico: It's 3 times harder for blue states to get disaster funding under Trump

The president has approved just 23 percent of blue state requests for disaster aid, compared to 89 percent for red states.

"...There has never been such a sharp partisan disparity in the approval of federal disaster funds since FEMA was created in 1979, according to a review of 2,500 natural disaster declarations by POLITICO’s E&E News.

The denials have blocked Democratic-led states from getting a total of $250 million in disaster aid that would have been approved by every previous president including Trump in his first term, E&E News found...."

LAist: 3 big changes are proposed for FEMA. This is what experts really think of them

"...In the draft report, responsibility for disasters would largely shift to states, which have long relied on the federal government to help survivors when a flood, hurricane or wildfire hits. FEMA's workforce, already hit hard by staff reductions since Trump took office, would be cut in half, compared to its size at the end of the Biden administration. ..."
