I am not a professional geologist who studies earthquakes, I'm here to explore both the current status of earthquake events and how they remind us of the critical need for preparedness, all while shedding light on a local sports team that shares the name with this natural phenomenon.   Earthquakes are not Distant Events:   Earthquakes, though often seen as distant events, are a part of daily life for many around the globe, including in the United States. Recent seismic activities, such as a 2.6 magnitude earthquake near Gilroy and a string of quakes in Southern California, highlight the unpredictability and widespread nature of these geological events.   Understanding Earthquakes:  Understanding earthquakes involves appreciating both their immediate impact and their potential to inform future geological research. For instance, novel research approaches like studying the geometric makeup of rocks where earthquakes originate are enhancing predictive capabilities, potentially leading to more effective early-warning systems.   Be Aware:  In the spirit of preparation, it's crucial for individuals and communities to be aware of how to respond when an earthquake occurs. Simple steps like securing heavy furniture, preparing an emergency kit, and knowing safe spots within buildings can save lives. Websites like the USGS provide valuable resources and real-time data to keep the public informed and prepared.   My Radar:   This screenshot from the My Radar app captured at 1830 today shows the recent earthquake activity within the last 12 hours, emphasizing the daily occurrence of these natural events. Initially, I downloaded My Radar during my tenure as a US Army Drill Sergeant with the goal of monitoring lightning strikes in real time. This critical awareness allowed us to swiftly relocate our troops to safety, thereby averting potential injuries or fatalities. I use a paid version that tracks Hurricanes. I am not a My Radar affiliate and do not profit by mentioning their app.   San Jose Earthquakes:  Switching gears to a lighter note, the San Jose Earthquakes, our local Major League Soccer team, aptly named after this natural phenomenon, continues to bring excitement and community spirit to the Bay Area. The team's resilience and dynamic presence on the field reflect the broader community's approach to handling the challenges posed by actual earthquakes. Notable players like Troy Dayak, who started his career with the Clash before becoming a key player for the Earthquakes, symbolize this resilience.   Additional Information: Lessons From Earthquakes In Turkey   

 National Safety Month: Ensuring a Safer Tomorrow  Every June, National Safety Month is observed to bring awareness and promote the importance of safety in our daily lives. This annual event, organized by the National Safety Council (NSC), aims to reduce the leading causes of injury and death at work, on the road, and in our homes and communities. As we delve into the critical aspects of safety, we'll explore risk assessments, planning for natural and financial disasters, and preparing our children for safety.   Your family's safety and financial security are priceless. Don't wait until it's too late to safeguard your future. Take the first step towards peace of mind and resilience today.

"Navigating the Battlefield of the Civilian Job Market: Understanding the Roadblocks Veterans Face"  In the grand tapestry of our nation's history, few threads are as vibrant and solemn as the recognition of our military service members. "Honoring the Sacrifices: The Deep Significance of Veterans Day" is more than a mere commemoration; it's a journey through the heart of what it means to stand in the ranks of those who've served. As we delve into the essence of military service recognition, we not only honor military veterans but also shed light on the profound impact of their sacrifices on our daily lives.  For many, Veterans Day might appear as a fleeting moment on the calendar, marked by parades and speeches. However, its significance runs deeper, resonating through every fabric of our society. This blog post aims to unravel the layers of this importance, addressing the primary question: why do we dedicate a day to our veterans, and how does this recognition shape our collective consciousness? By exploring this topic, we aim to heighten Veteran Affairs awareness, offering insights into the unique experiences of our heroes in uniform and the enduring legacy they leave behind. The Unique Skill Set of Veterans The military instills unmatched leadership qualities and discipline. These skills are incredibly beneficial in any job setting, though often undervalued in the civilian workforce. Veterans are trained to adapt quickly to changing situations—a skill highly relevant in today's fast-paced business world. Their experience in teamwork and collaborative problem-solving is also a significant asset.  Roadblocks in Civilian Job Market Entry  One of the biggest challenges veterans face is translating their military skills to civilian job requirements. The unique military jargon and roles can create barriers in effectively communicating their competencies. The shift from military to civilian life encompasses more than just a job change. It involves adapting to a new culture and social environment, which can be daunting for many veterans.  Bridging the Military-Civilian Divide  There's a significant gap in understanding between military life and civilian sectors. Employers often struggle to comprehend the full scope of a veteran's experience and skills. Various programs and initiatives are in place to help bridge this gap. They aim to educate employers about the value of hiring veterans and assist veterans in articulating their skills. https://www.military.com/hiring-veterans/resources/educate-your-company-on-veteran-hiring-and-retention.html Financial Literacy and Career Planning Financial literacy and career planning are essential tools for veterans. Understanding the financial aspects of career transition and planning strategically can ease the process significantly. Financial Literacy has only recently (since 2019), become an educational touch point for all branches of service. Since financial literacy is not taught in our public school system, this is a step in the right direction for the military community. But there are still millions of veterans lacking in this much needed tool. I am proud to be aligned with Money Mentor Vets and their continued educational processes to support the Veteran community with Financial Literacy: https://www.moneymentor.org https://moneymentorvets.com/ The Power of Networking and Mentorship Mentorship, especially from fellow veterans who have successfully transitioned, can provide invaluable insights and guidance. Organizations such as AMVETS, The American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars, and the Disabled American Veterans are valuable resources for networking with people who speak the same language and finding mentors who want to see our veterans succeed.

Heat Cramps: Characterized by painful muscle cramps and spasms during or after intense exercise and sweating in high heat. b. Heat Exhaustion: Symptoms include heavy sweating, weakness, dizziness, nausea, and headache. c. Heatstroke: A severe condition that requires immediate medical attention. Staying Hydrated and Keeping Cool: a. Drink plenty of fluids, even if you do not feel thirsty, and avoid alcoholic or caffeinated beverages. b. Seek shade and stay indoors during the hottest parts of the day. c. Wear lightweight, light-colored, and loose-fitting clothing. d. Use fans, air conditioning, or cool showers to lower body temperature. e. Check on vulnerable individuals, elderly, children, and those with pre-existing medical conditions.   Conclusion:   The ongoing heat wave across the Northern Hemisphere brings unprecedented challenges, including devastating wildfires, record-breaking temperatures, and increased energy consumption.

Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce myself, I am Wave Warrior, the charismatic and courageous Lifeguard Extraordinaire and proud member of the esteemed Safety Squad!   With my exceptional skills and captivating charisma, You can count on me to ensure that every beach day is filled with joy and peace of mind. Because Wave Warrior is here, ready to make your beach experience unforgettable and, most importantly, safe!  Today is National Bikini Day! It's a day to celebrate the beach and all of the fun that comes with it, just like me. Bikinis are usually for grown-ups, but kids need cute and safe swimsuits too.  Swimming is fun and healthy for people of all ages, especially kids. But swimming can be dangerous. That's why lifeguards like me are here to make sure kids are safe. The color of swimsuits matters! Bright colored swimsuits are better for children than darker ones because they help the lifeguard see them better.  Visibility Matters  It is important to wear brightly colored swimsuits. This helps lifeguards and parents find children quickly in the water. Even a few seconds can make a big difference if someone is in danger. Here are my recommendations for swimsuit colors to buy, and those to avoid: Lets start with, Neon Green: This color is not only trendy, but it also stands out brightly against the blue of the water. Vibrant Pink: A favorite among many kids and is easily visible both in and out of the water. Bright Yellow: Mimicking the sun, bright yellow is a go-to for visibility..  Electric Orange: This color doesn't fade into the background – it's easily spotted and fun too.  Colors to Avoid: Navy Blue: Although popular, this color can easily blend into the water, reducing visibility. Black: While stylish, black is one of the most challenging colors to spot in the water. Dark Green: This color tends to disappear against seaweed or under the shadows of trees near lakes or rivers.  I need to get back to my perch and watch out for your safety.  So remember, it is important for us to stay safe when swimming. Wear bright colored swimsuits like yellow, pink, and neon green so that lifeguards and grown-ups can easily spot you. Also, don't drink the water, take bathroom breaks and please, don't poop or pee in the water, and always put on sunscreen to protect your skin.  Let's celebrate National Bikini Day by looking at brightly colored swimsuits for kids, making it fun and safe! Remember, safety is the most important thing!  More information can be found below.  Till next time. Stay informed and stay safe.

"Fire Safety with Blaze: Preventing Fires and Saving the Day!" "Hey there, heroes! It's Blaze, the fearless Firefighter Extraordinaire, ready to tackle any blaze and keep everyone safe. I'm part of the Safety Squad, always on the lookout for fire hazards and using my expertise to prevent fires from starting. With my firefighting techniques and fire prevention skills, I provide fire safety and prevention.   Imagine sliding down the slide at the Axle City Garage with me, Dr. Lifesaver, Rescue Ranger, my pal Embers and the gang. We're all having a blast and doing cool tricks. We're not just adventurers, we're safety enthusiasts too!   As the Firefighter Extraordinaire, it is my job to make sure everyone is safe on 4th of July. Fireworks are fun but can be dangerous. In 2022, 11,500 people got hurt and nine people died from fireworks in the US [1]. Most injuries were to hands, fingers, head, face, ears, legs, eyes and arms [3]. We can stay safe if we follow the safety rules.   Firework Safety:  1. The best way to enjoy fireworks is to go to a show put on by experts. They know what they are doing so it will be safe. 2. Make sure that fireworks are legal where you are before using them. Check the laws in your area first so you don't get in trouble. 3. Don't let kids use or light fireworks, including sparklers - even sparklers can get too hot and hurt someone! An adult should always be watching when kids use sparklers.   Light fireworks one at a time and stay back. After you light them, move away quickly. Don't try to relight any fireworks that don't work - put them in water and throw them away. Soak used fireworks in water before throwing them away so they won't start fires. Have water nearby in case of accidents or fires. Do not use fireworks when drunk or on drugs because it is unsafe.   Instead of using fireworks, try other things to celebrate. Some ideas are glow sticks, confetti poppers, or colored streamers. These are safer and can be used even if fireworks aren't allowed in your area.   Keeping Pets Safe:   Fireworks can make pets feel scared. To keep them safe, keep them inside during firework shows. Close the windows and curtains and turn on the TV or radio to help cover up the noise. Give your pet toys and treats to help them stay calm.   My time is up and I do need to go:  The 4th of July is a time for being together and having fun. Fireworks are part of this celebration. But we need to be safe. We must follow the safety rules so that no one gets hurt.

"Indulge in Pure Bliss: The Allure and Temptation of Chocolate Fudge"  Hey there, fellow fudge lovers! As a confectionery chef extraordinaire, I can tell you firsthand that fudge is one of the most amazing indulgencesout there. This creamy, decadent treat brings joy to people of all ages with its rich texture and mouthwatering combination of flavors. So, what makes fudge so special? Let's break it down.  First of all, fudge is a truly sensory experience. The way it melts in your mouth and the flavors burst with every bite is pure magic. You'll fall in love with fudge's creamy texture, made with butter, sugar, and milk. From classic chocolate to creative blends of ingredients like vanilla and caramel, there's a fudge flavor for everyone.  But wait, there's more! Did you know that fudge comes with health benefits, too? While it's definitely not a health food, dark chocolate (which is often used in fudge recipes) contains antioxidants that can help reduce the risk of cardiovascular problems. In fact, dark chocolate has been linked to benefits like lowering cholesterol levels and preventing cognitive decline, so it's really a win-win [1].  Now, let's talk nutrition. Fudge is high in carbs and calories, but it does have a relatively low glycemic index, which means it won't cause a blood sugar spike. Plus, it contains minerals like calcium, iron, magnesium, and copper [2]. However, don't go thinking it's a health food - fudge should definitely be enjoyed in moderation as a treat, not a meal replacement.  When it comes to enjoying fudge, the key is portion control. It's calorie-dense, so be mindful of how much you eat. But don't feel guilty about treating yourself to a small piece every so often - life is short, and fudge is delicious!  In conclusion, fudge is an amazing indulgence with a sensory experience that's hard to beat. You can feel good about enjoying it in moderation, knowing it contains some potential health benefits and a few essential minerals. So go ahead, take a bite of that luscious fudge and enjoy the moment of pure bliss it brings!  Here is a simple Fudge Recipe. https://www.livewellbakeoften.com/easy-fudge-recipe/  References:  "Chocolate: Health benefits, facts, and research."

“Commemorating the US Army Birthday and National Flag Day"   Introduction:  June 14th holds special significance for Americans as it marks the dual celebration of the US Army Birthday and National Flag Day. These two occasions intertwine the threads of history, valor, and patriotism that are deeply woven into the fabric of the United States. As we commemorate these milestones, it is important to reflect on the enduring legacy of the US Army and the symbolism behind our nation's flag.   The Birth of the US Army:  The Second Continental Congress established the Continental Army on June 14, 1775, giving rise to what would later become the United States Army. A journey that would determine the course of a country began with the appointment of General George Washington as the commander in chief. The Continental Army faced many difficulties during the Revolutionary War, but it was crucial to securing America's independence [1].   The US Army's Role in History:  Throughout history, the US Army has consistently stood up for freedom and upheld American values both domestically and abroad. The brave men and women of the Army have shown unwavering dedication, courage, and sacrifice in service to their country throughout the Civil War, World War II, Cold War and War on Terror [1].   National Flag Day and the Stars and Stripes:  The US Army Birthday falls on June 14th, which is National Flag Day. The Stars and Stripes were adopted as the country's official flag in 1777, and this day honors that day. The pattern of the flag, depicts the original thirteen colonies with 13 alternating red and white stripes and a blue field with white stars representing the states, has come to represent American unity, tenacity, and freedom for all time [2].   The Significance of the National Flag:  For Americans, the national flag is extremely important because it inspires pride and patriotism. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by countless people throughout history to uphold and defend the values and ideals on which the country was founded. [3].   The US Army and the National Flag:  The principles of liberty and justice are deeply embraced by both the US Army and the national flag. In every significant conflict, soldiers have fought for the flag, upholding its values and defending the interests of the country [3]. The flag has always been a constant companion for Army soldiers, providing them with motivation, cohesion, and resolve, whether they are firmly planted on foreign soil or draped over the caskets of fallen heroes.   Conclusion:  Finally, the US Army Birthday and National Flag Day offer a chance to reflect on the country's rich history and unwavering patriotism. It's critical to keep in mind the countless men and women who proudly served in the US Army and gave their all for their country as we remember these occasions. [1][2].   What's more, the national flag is a potent representation of freedom, resilience, and unity. It stands for America's steadfast spirit and the historical sacrifices made to uphold the values that gave rise to the country [3]. Soldiers fight under the flag in every significant conflict and uphold the values it stands for, demonstrating their deep commitment to the principles of liberty and justice.

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. I'm Daniel Kilburn, your trusted EAP Broadcast System news anchor. As wildfires continue to rage across Canada, it's crucial to prioritize the health and safety of ourselves and our loved ones. Today, we'll discuss some important measures to protect our eyes and respiratory systems from wildfire smoke. Remember, what happens there can affect us here.   Here's a comprehensive list of recommendations:   1. Stay informed: Keep track of local news and official updates on the wildfire situation. Stay tuned to weather forecasts and air quality reports to plan your activities accordingly. I recommend the My Radar App for your phone to get real-time wildfire and air quality information. https://myradar.com/   2. Limit exposure: Whenever possible, reduce your exposure to wildfire smoke by staying indoors. Close windows and doors to prevent smoke from entering your home or workplace. If possible, set your home heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems (HVAC) system to recirculate, preventing outside air from being drawn into the house. If you are driving your car, set your air system to recirculate also.   3. Use air purifiers: Consider using high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters or air purifiers at home. These devices help remove fine particles from the air, including smoke particles. https://amzn.to/43VnCKm   4. Create a clean room: If the air quality deteriorates significantly, designate a specific room in your house as a clean room. Seal the room as best as you can to minimize smoke infiltration and use a portable air purifier in that area.   5. Avoid outdoor activities: When smoke levels are high, it's advisable to limit or avoid outdoor activities, especially strenuous exercise. If you must go outside, try to do so when air quality is relatively better, such as early morning or late evening.   6. Wear a mask: When venturing outdoors in smoky conditions, wear a properly fitted N95, N99, or P100 respirator mask. These masks are designed to filter out fine particles, including those present in wildfire smoke. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions for proper use. https://amzn.to/43QBC8m   7. Keep eye protection: Protect your eyes from smoke irritation by wearing wraparound sunglasses or goggles. This can help shield your eyes from smoke particles and reduce eye irritation. https://amzn.to/3J7NOJZ   8. Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water to keep your respiratory system hydrated. Hydration helps soothe the airways and minimize the effects of smoke irritation.   9. Maintain indoor air quality: Avoid activities that introduce pollutants into your indoor air, such as smoking, burning candles, or using gas appliances without proper ventilation. These can exacerbate the impact of wildfire smoke.   10. Consult a healthcare professional: If you experience severe symptoms like difficulty breathing, chest pain, or persistent coughing, seek medical attention promptly. Individuals with pre-existing respiratory conditions or other health issues should be particularly cautious and follow their healthcare provider's guidance.   Remember, everyone's health situation is unique, and these recommendations may not be suitable for everyone. It's important to consult with healthcare professionals for personalized advice, especially for vulnerable individuals such as children, the elderly, and those with pre-existing health conditions.   Links to the items mentioned in this report can be found in the transcript. “As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.” Remember the Three Ps of Disaster Management: Have a Plan, Be Playful, Persevere.  Stay Informed, Stay Safe  Daniel Kilburn America's 5-Star Leadership Coach  P.S.

20030602 Atlantic Hurricane Season   The Atlantic 2023 hurricane season started yesterday, June 1, 2023. Experts predict a near-normal hurricane season. Depending on who you're talking to we are looking at somewhere between 12 and 17 named storms 5 to 9 hurricanes 1 to 4 of them being above category three. Apparently, this is the new normal.   Already we have a tropical storm Arlene in the Gulf of Mexico moving her way toward Western Cuba. https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/refresh/graphics_at2+shtml/172556.shtml?tswind120   A new survey says that one of four Floridians will ignore hurricane evacuation warnings. https://www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/new-survey-says-1-in-4-floridians-ignore-hurricane-evacuation-warnings/   The FEMA 2022 Household Survey states that approximately 45% of the people surveyed consider themselves prepared for a disaster. And I truly hope they are. https://community.fema.gov/PreparednessConnect/s/article/Results-from-the-2022-National-Household-Survey-on-Disaster-Preparedness   According to Scientific American more than 3 million Americans adults were displaced in 2022 because of natural disasters. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/disasters-displaced-more-than-3-million-americans-in-2022/   This is around 1.4 percent of the US Adult population; this number does not include the number of children displaced at the same time. Now for those of us who were not displaced this might seem like a marginal statistic. Only 1.4% of the population. But for those who were displaced and their children it was significant.   It is better to be prepared and not need to use the plan, than it is to need a plan and not have one.  What can you do now?   ·        Prepare to Evacuate. ·        Safeguard your Home. ·        Sign Up for Local Alerts and Warnings. ·        Protect Important Documents. ·        Have Emergency Contacts. https://www.forbes.com/advisor/homeowners-insurance/2023-hurricane-season/   ·        Conduct an Insurance Audit. https://www.emergencyactionplanning.com/20220128-tip-of-the-day-insurance-audit/   Stay Informed.

National Love Your Children Day is a special day to remind us of the love and care we owe to our little ones. As parents or caregivers, our primary responsibility is to keep them safe and secure, especially in emergencies and disasters. The thought of our children being in danger can be overwhelming and frightening, but we can take steps to ensure their safety. We must ensure that our homes have emergency supplies, such as first aid kits, flashlights, and emergency food and water. We should also teach our children about emergency preparedness so they know what to do in an emergency. In case of a disaster, it is important to have a plan and practice it with our children so they know what to do in case we are not there to direct them. Let us take a moment to appreciate our children and do everything we can to keep them safe and healthy. National Love Our Children Day, on the first Saturday in April, focuses on raising awareness of child abuse during National Child Abuse Prevention Month.  Many may think about physical violence or neglect when it comes to child abuse. Still, it can also come from parental apathy, complacency, ignorance, and failure to act. Essentially, not doing anything can actually harm a child. This can mean not giving enough attention or care to a child's needs, not knowing the right way to raise a child, or even being unprepared for emergencies or seeking medical help for a sick child. These actions, or lack thereof, can have serious long-term consequences on a child's development and well-being. So, for parents, it's important to be aware of your actions and take responsibility for ensuring your child's safety, health, and welfare- even if that means stepping out of your comfort zone sometimes. Today, let's celebrate the love and affection we have for our children and to reaffirm our commitment to their well-being. While we should love and cherish our children daily, this day reminds us of the importance of prioritizing our children's safety and happiness. As parents or caregivers, we are responsible for protecting our children from emergencies and disasters. We can't always control what happens in the world, but we can take steps to ensure that our children are safe and secure and they are prepared to act when we are not there to act for them. Here are a few tips on how to prepare for emergencies and disasters and keep your children safe: It's important to have a plan in place for emergencies. This includes having an emergency kit with essential items like food, water, medication, and first aid supplies. It's also important to have a plan for evacuating your home or seeking shelter in case of a natural disaster. Keeping current on news and weather alerts can help you stay ahead of potential emergencies. Make sure you have access to reliable sources of information, and don't be afraid to ask for help or advice when you need it. It's a good idea to practice safety drills with your children so they know what to do in case of an emergency. This includes fire drills, earthquake drills, and tornado drills. Educating your children about safety is an ongoing process. Teach them to stay safe in different situations, such as crossing the street or riding a bike. Encourage them to speak up if they feel uncomfortable or unsafe. Being a parent or caregiver can be stressful, and it's important to take care of your own mental health. This includes getting enough sleep, eating well, and coping with stress. In conclusion, as we celebrate National Love Your Children Day, remember the importance of keeping our children safe and secure. Let us take responsibility for their well-being and prepare for emergencies and disasters. By doing so, we can ensure that our children grow up healthy, happy, and confident in knowing they are loved and protected.

Do you find yourself feeling distracted, depressed, or disconnected? If so, you're not alone. In today's fast-paced world, it's easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle and forget to take care of ourselves. We are constantly bombarded with external stimuli, and our brains work overtime to process it. This can lead to feelings of overwhelm, anxiety, and depression. But there is hope! By understanding the science behind our emotions and learning some simple self-care techniques, we can start to feel more balanced and empowered. So let's get started! More steps you can take to reconnect. Fortunately, there are several steps you can take to help overcome these struggles and reconnect with yourself and your surroundings: 1. Unplug & Reconnect With Nature - Taking time away from technology is one way to help break free from the distractions that come with it. Going outside for a walk or just sitting in nature can give you much-needed perspective on life and help you find a sense of calm. 2. Take Time for Self-Care - Taking care of yourself is an important step in staying connected with your own needs and feelings. Make sure to take time each day to do something that makes you feel good, whether it's taking a hot bath, reading a book, or simply going for a walk 3. Find Your Passion - Finding something you are passionate about can be the key to feeling connected with your life. Pursuing activities or hobbies that bring joy will motivate you to stay focused on your goals and dreams rather than succumbing to distractions. 4. Reach Out For Help - If you struggle with feelings of depression and disconnection, don't hesitate to reach out for help. Whether it's talking to a family member or friend, seeing a therapist, or joining a support group, plenty of resources can help you through this difficult time. No matter how disconnected you may feel right now, know that it is possible to overcome these struggles and reconnect with yourself and your surroundings. Taking the steps listed above can help give you the strength and motivation needed to find your way back. Good luck! In conclusion, the dangers of social media addiction are real. While there are many underlying components that contribute to mental health disorders, addiction to social media can be an active contributing factor. The best way to break the cycle is by setting limits on screen time and learning how to interact with content in a healthier and more meaningful way. Moreover, face-to-face interaction and human connection cannot be replaced. True fulfillment comes from providing ourselves with real moments where we are present in the moment and not just observing it through our digital lenses. So set realistic goals for yourself, practice mindfulness, find healthy outlets for stress relief, such as yoga or reading a book instead of mindlessly scrolling on your phone, and surround yourself with people who bring out the best version of you. As long as you focus on being mindful and empowering yourself with self-worth, true happiness will follow soon after. So if you're looking for ways to unplug, stay present in the moment, and enjoy life offline, register for our Digital Distraction Workshop now! With me here by your side, you can take back control of your life! https://www.eapworkshop.com/f/eliminate-distractions-in-a-digital-age --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/daniel-kilburn/message

Today, Turkey experienced two devastating earthquakes, with reports of widespread damage and multiple casualties. This tragedy serves as a reminder of the importance of being prepared for earthquakes. Earthquakes are one of the most unpredictable and destructive natural disasters, striking without warning and causing massive destruction in their wake. To minimize the impact of an earthquake, individuals, families, and communities must take steps to prepare for this type of disaster. Preparation is key when it comes to earthquakes. It is important to have a plan in place in case of an earthquake, including knowing what to do during and after an earthquake. This can include developing an emergency plan, preparing an emergency kit, and knowing how to evacuate buildings and seek shelter safely. One of the most important steps in preparing for an earthquake is to secure heavy furniture and appliances, such as bookcases and televisions, to prevent them from falling during an earthquake. This can also include securing your home by installing seismic straps and earthquake valves on gas lines. Additionally, individuals should also educate themselves about the types of earthquakes that are most likely to occur in their area and understand the potential dangers of aftershocks. This knowledge can help individuals make informed decisions about the best ways to protect themselves and their families during and after an earthquake. Did you know there are four distinct categories of earthquakes? Tectonic quakes shake the earth's crust due to geological forces. Volcanic temblors occur in connection with volcanic activity, while collapse quakes take place underground during mining operations or cave-ins. Finally, explosion earthquakes come from nuclear and/or chemical explosions! https://www.un-spider.org/category/disaster-type/earthquake You may not realize it, but living in the Pacific Northwest comes with its own seismic surprises. From shallow fault quakes to deep earthquakes that occur beneath a subducting ocean slab - they can all be Big Ones! The longest of the three types are likely those monstrously powerful Subduction zone earthquakes which have been known to last several minutes at their peak strength. Better keep your earthquake kits stocked and ready for action, just in case! https://www.burkemuseum.org/static/earthquakes/bigone/threekinds.html The terms "types" and "kinds" of earthquakes are sometimes used interchangeably, but they can refer to different aspects of earthquakes. In conclusion, today's earthquake in Turkey serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of preparing for earthquakes. By taking the necessary steps to prepare, individuals, families, and communities can reduce the impact of an earthquake and ensure their safety and well-being in the event of a disaster. So, let's all commit to earthquake preparedness, and protect our children, ourselves, and our communities from the devastating effects of this natural disaster." P.S.

National Parents Leadership Month National Parents Leadership Month is a time to recognize and celebrate parents' vital role in shaping their children's and their communities' futures. Observed annually in February, this month is an opportunity for parents to reflect on their leadership skills and engage in activities that help them become better leaders in their families and communities. Parent Leadership One of the key ways that parents can become better leaders is by staying informed about the latest developments in education and child development. This includes staying up-to-date with the latest research and best practices in parenting and engaging in ongoing professional development opportunities. Opportunities In addition to individual efforts, National Parents Leadership Month also provides an opportunity for communities to come together and support one another in their efforts to become better leaders. This can include hosting parent-teacher association meetings, organizing community service projects, and engaging in other collaborative efforts that promote positive outcomes for families and communities. Lead By Example Parents lead by example. There are dozens of parenting handbooks available, but our children are not an IKEA bookcase to be filled with someone else's ideas. Our children learn by the example set by their peers and approved by their parents. Often, this is a co-dependent relationship that can be positive or negative. Seeking help with parenting is a common and normal step for many parents. It is important to recognize that parenting can be challenging, and seeking support is a sign of strength and a commitment to providing the best possible care for one's children.

Are we distracted? Our daily lives have become dominated by the eight-hour workday, leaving little time for family, hobbies, or self-care. In reality, many of us are only doing five to six hours' worth of actual work - spending precious extra minutes and hours on pointless meetings or succumbing to distractions like our pinging phones. Not only is this wreaking havoc with workers' well-being, but businesses too could be losing out big time; a recent study conducted by Udemy found that employees feel unfulfilled in their jobs yet don't know what else they can do! Stretching Our Brain In the analog days, stretching our brains to their limit was hard enough. But fast forward to today's digital world, and it feels as if you're racing a Formula One car on a dirt road! We must develop strategies that help us focus on one task at a time (instead of frantically multitasking) or resist distraction. As a result, our productivity, accuracy, and quality suffer because switching from job to job can quickly deplete our mental energy reserves. Are Our Brains Healthy With all the data we're presented with daily, our brains must work hard to keep up! But putting in that extra effort can be taxing - it's like squeezing an orange until nothing remains. Our neurons send fatigue signals when they've been overworked from having to differentiate between trivia and crucial information, and we ignore them. In addition, we may need to realize how much of what we see online or hear from others is competing for resources; whether mundane life choices or deeper moral issues, things take more energy than we think to process correctly. Is It That Bad? With so much work, our attention span is shorter than ever, and it's no surprise that analysts have reached the same conclusion: distraction, at its worst, can cost us a significant amount of time and productivity. For example, McKinsey & Co. estimated that 28% of high-skilled workers' hours are eaten up by emails alone! And we still need to begin tackling issues like social media distractions... Trained Responses We can't deny it; the design of social media has us hooked! From needing to answer a text or email instantly to checking Twitter updates compulsively - we've been conditioned by persuasive design. To break free from its grip and train ourselves to focus intently again requires effortful practice every day. Is There A Solution If you frequently find yourself easily distracted, it may be time to consider some mitigation strategies. You control your level of distraction, and there are many things you can do to improve the situation. Please register for our upcoming workshop on digital distractions to learn more about how to manage this issue in your life.

Davos Switzerland, 2023 World Economic Forum (WEF) is declaring a worldwide catastrophic event within the next two years. Worldwide catastrophic event Hey there! Daniel here with some news on emergency action planning. It looks like this past week had winter storms that were rough in the Northeast but starting to slow down out West - we can expect these kinds of things during winter, right? There's a story coming from Davos about an ominous declaration made at the World Economic Forum. Apparently, they think something catastrophic is going to happen soon... could be within just two years or so! It sounds alarming and I'm sure everyone will keep their eyes peeled for updates. A Catastrophic Mutating Event. A looming disaster is poised to hit the world two years from now. It's not just a regular attack, it's something far more sinister than that – a major cyber-attack! We've been hearing whispers about this for some time as bad actors have begun plotting against us in order to take our hard-earned money and cause destruction where ever they can. So let's be prepared for anything because who knows what these fiends are capable of? Ripple Effect Russia's cyber-attack in Ukraine had a ripple effect that caused other parts of Europe to lose power, too. In many cases, an initial event can have multiple impacts - think about earthquakes: not only does the ground break beneath your house, but also massive damage is done to infrastructure, like disabling the electricity grids. Cyber-Attack Leaders It looks like China and the United States have been dominating primary events, but with a savvy tech-wiz running interference, an attack can originate from someplace else. Data collected from IP addresses might be showing one thing – however, what's really going on could even come as a surprise! Cyber Attack Origin – by Country With the US and China at the top of many headlines, it's easy to overlook Russia. But they're very active in cyber-attacks — enough so that sometimes it seems like they could pull off some false flag operations! Of course, we can't know for sure what's happening behind closed doors—that would require an investigative journey someone else can take. Nostradamus We've seen it repeatedly - someone predicts the future, but people don't believe them because they can't fully verify what's being said. Take global warming, for instance: many were skeptical about its realness until reality hit us all in the face! Well, it's here, folks. We can't do anything about it. So be aware of changes that could come our way; think twice before dismissing something you haven't personally verified yet. Security Measures Cyber security should never be taken for granted. Despite the complacent and apathetic attitudes of some, we all need to stay vigilant when using our computers, phones or any device that can access information online, as it's easy for cyber-attacks to spread quickly if even one wrong button is pressed. Taking simple precautions such as regular updates, strong passwords and being aware of suspicious links could save you from becoming another victim! Stay informed and stay safe - these are traditional words but never more relevant than today! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/daniel-kilburn/message

ypocrites, is the world full of them? So what is a hypocrite? Hypocrites are easy to spot. They're the ones who set their eyes on one thing, only looking away when it comes time for them to judge you – or someone else! These people have got some double standard going that's just confusing as all get out because there isn't any logic behind what they do. Now in some ways, this is natural. We all apply different standards to different people based on our upbringing, education, financial status, or whatever we want to call it. Sometimes is right, and sometimes wrong. I am pondering this concept because of several conversations I have had recently. As you know, my vision is to protect our children from the emergencies and disasters that will come into their lives. My mission is to prepare the family so they can protect themselves. For the longest time, FEMA has been conducting the National Household Survey on Disaster Preparedness. And for many years, it has hovered between 30 to 40% of the population who has done anything to prepare themselves and their family for emergencies. The 2022 national household survey states that of the respondents, 45% of the adults are prepared for disaster. This is a self-assessed questionnaire. Generally speaking, this means that we are better prepared than we were last year and better prepared than we were the year before. One thing I find very interesting here is that of the people I have personally surveyed, that number is much lower. And looking at the actual data in the survey demonstrates that the vast majority of respondents have a plan (41%) but have done very little to actualize the plan. Go here to see the data yourself: https://community.fema.gov/PreparednessConnect/s/article/Results-from-the-2022-National-Household-Survey-on-Disaster-Preparedness. The conversations I had with people earlier this week revolved around fearmongering. How people, in general, will refuse to do something unless it scares them so bad and the chance of losing something is so dire that they feel like they need to take action to prevent it. Many purveyors and people in the disaster management industry are just like that. They are fearmongers who will tell you how bad the world will be and how bad life will be. So buy their knife and defend yourself from the zombie hoard, or you need to buy their backpacks so you can hike out of town and go Into the wilderness to protect yourself. Neither option is valid or usable under most circumstances. Amazon Ring is a very good example of fearmongering for profit. In my conversations, I was offered the opportunity to embrace my controlling fearmonger for fun and profit. And I cannot do that. There is a way to prepare without fear, a way to teach our children in a fun, enlightening, and educational way. By embracing communications and resiliency, we are developing the leaders of tomorrow.
