📢 ICRC warns of worsening humanitarian crisis in Gaza -- The ceasefire in #gaza has proven vital to saving lives, bringing in humanitarian assistance and sustaining the civilian population. However, Gaza's humanitarian crisis is far from over.

Aid deliveries had substantially increased over the course of the #ceasefire, but they remain a drop in the ocean compared to the immense needs on the ground.

"Several of the people who were killed in the most recent Southern California wildfires were disabled and the majority were over 70, news reports identifying the victims show. The stories are tragic, but not surprising, aging and disability advocates say."

"California has known for years that it must pay extra attention to people with disabilities and limited mobility during natural disasters. Will it put the lessons of the L.A. fires to use for the next emergency?"

Devastating Wildfires in LA: 19,300 Emergency Responses Logged

Message from WPS News
By, Cliff Potts, WPS News, Editor-in-Chief
Baybay City | January 13, 2025

In the face of the devastating fires sweeping through Los Angeles, our hearts go out to all those affected by this tragedy. The flames have cast a shadow over countless lives, and we extend our deepest condolences to the families and communities enduring unfathomable loss.

Update

The latest update on the LA fires reveals an alarming situation. Emergency responders have engaged in a remarkable 19,300 emergency responses, highlighting the severity and urgency of the ongoing crisis. With 105 active wildfires consuming nearly 40,300 acres of land, the impact on the region is profound. We are deeply saddened to report at least 13 preliminary fatalities, a number which awaits confirmation from the coroner’s office. Furthermore, the destruction of more than 12,300 structures affects not just homes but the very fabric of community life.

Evacuation orders are enforced due to immediate threats to life, and authorities strongly urge residents to evacuate without delay. While some progress has been made by our resilient firefighting crews, challenges persist, heightened by looming windy and dry conditions that threaten to hinder containment efforts.

We stand in solidarity with the brave firefighting teams and urge everyone in the affected areas to comply with safety directives, ensuring the well-being of all involved. Together, through cooperation and support, we can move through this crisis towards recovery and healing.

Years ago, the fire bell rang in the ad agency where I worked. I got up & walked briskly down the hall, past the office of the president. Who called out, "It's probably a false alarm!" Ignoring him, I marched out the door, down 3 flights, & out to the curb, quickly followed by almost all my co-workers.

Minutes later, the boss finally joined us—just as the trucks arrived to put out the (quite real) fire.

Yet another fire, loss of power, cell towers down, communication breakdown. Who (how) you gonna call! You don’t need $$$$$ of equipment to reap the benefits of amateur radio. An inexpensive transceiver, a battery, a wire antenna and a license (cheap and fairly easy to obtain in the US) arrl.org Join the thousands of Hams everyday all around the world that communicates on digital, Morse Code, and voice.

Four photos showing Ham radio operators communicating all around the world, on very low power with, battery and solar no matter what emergency is going down, self reliant world wide communication, without fees, Ha!
