For the box:

Birth certificate, passport, emotionally important and irreplacable things. Bringing some food / water ofc is important, given the risk of heat strokes on hot days.

In terms of where I flee, I pick some nearby towns that are basically kilometers of concrete and ashphalt, and not right next to a forest. Talk to some friends that are in safer areas before hand about potentially staying over.

Another option for me is to go the city, and just book a hotel.

More pet stuff: if your in the common habit of having your pets run outside, keep them in during bad fire conditions ofc.

From Australia.

So there are many reasons people die in fire. It can happen if they’ve chosen to protect their home, and so stay, and unfortuntely just arent’t prepared for it.

Another common way, is leaving far too late, and getting cornered off, being unable to leave.

Sometimes the window for leaving can be very small, I recall last fire season that some people got a warning of the fire and it was already basically ontop of them, as the fire traveled very very fast.

My methods for dealing with fire season are:

Pack important things in a box. I.e ID. Idea is, if i read “leave now” i simply grab the box, and flee. Dont want to be fucking about finding shit as the sky turns red. Also, pet carriers. Dont forget your furry friends.

Know my exits. If the fire is coming from the west, what is the eastern exit?

In australia, theres a rating “catastrophic”. In that event, I just leave.

Also check any emergency service information constantly, maybe chuck on the radio (in australia the abc reports fire developments)

As you eluded to, check up on your neighbours. Disaster response is a community effort.

Fortuntely been lucky enough to only deal with the one proper fire scare, where we had to leave. We were very unprepared for it, coming from the city.

EDIT: final one I swear: in australia, there are shelters of last resort. Not sure if other countries like spain or italy have that, but figuring out at least an equivalent and knowing where they are is important aswell.

Also, quite unfortuntely, nearly 100% of the people around me use AI.

Tbh I kiiind of do that with everyone. Well, not quite, I take what they say with a big grain of salt and just continue the conversation. A couple exceptions: they are experts in what they’re talking about. Or, its some personal experience

They aren’t socialist and the govs that oversaw the decline were conservatives.

But yeah, I agree it would be one hell of a logistical and political undertaking. I suspect they could try state by state. That might make it more politically managable at least.

I have sent my resignation letter

I walked into that one

Your an idiot

Yes lets do that. if my work contributed to the sufferring of my country/people, i would feel lucky thats all you did

The reason why australia and the UK’s public health has gone too shit is due to decades long chronic underfunding. Universal Health Care and long wait times don’t have to go together

Maybe but the main problem with him is his narcissism

There is probably at least one cop who discovered their humiliation kink after being called a pig

My company is forcing ai down my throat aswell :(

Suck to be anti ai and in tech

How much of that use is “forced”? If people use google they’re using AI whenever they search

I remember watching a video of a North Korean phone, which from memory took a screenshot every 15 seconds or so. Now I read about age verification with nuditity scanning on the OS level being serisously discussed in a supposed free country
