if you are in or around los angeles and the fires and evacuation alerts have not yet reached you, take pictures of where you live. as many as you can. inside and outside if possible. try to take CLEAR pictures of serial numbers, product names, appliances, expensive stuff especially. these pictures will help you get major things replaced exactly instead of just “a TV”.

Evacuation Prep:

As the world changes, it is important to be prepared to safely and efficiently evacuate your home, potentially with little or no warning. Preparing ahead of time can help to reduce stress and anxiety, and help you evacuate safely if the time comes.

Red Level (No Warning): People | Pets | Keys. Human life matters most. If you can’t rescue your pets, let them out to give them their best chance. If evacuating by car, don’t forget your keys.

Orange Level (Less Than an Hour): Crucial Meds | Important Papers | Money | Paper Map | Pet Vaccination Records. Crucial meds and medical equipment. Papers including passports, birth certificates, medical records, etc.. Multiple forms of payment. Paper map with marked evac routes in case of signal loss. Phone. Most evac centers require vaccine records for pets to be allowed in.

Yellow Level (More Than an Hour): Photos | Hard Drives | Computers | Chargers | Irreplaceable Items | OTC Meds | Pet Supplies | Pet Food | Clothes | Weather Gear. Family photos. Hard drives and computers. Make digital backups ahead of time. Charging cords. Irreplaceable items such as collectibles and mementos. Over the counter medical supplies such as Aspirin and tampons. Pet supplies such as bowls, crates, toys, and litter. Pet food and treats. Clothes. If you are running out of time grab your laundry basket. Weather gear if needed.

Green Level (General Preparedness): Food | Water | Radio | N95 Masks | Multitool | Power Pack | Gas | Stove Fuel | Flashlight | Toiletries | Emergency Contact Info | Bedding | First Aid | Can Opener. Easy prep, shelf-stable food. Water. Battery powered/rechargeable NOAA weather radio. N95 masks for smoke. A multitool. Rechargeable power pack for phones. Keep your car at least partially fueled at all times. Portable stove and fuel for cooking food without power. Flashlight and spare batteries. Toiletries including hair products, toothbrush and paste, etc.. Emergency contact info for friends and loved ones. Spare pillows and blankets. Dedicated first aid kit. Can opener.

Save yourself time and stress by preparing an evacuation bag ahead of time and keep it in an easy to access place. At the end of every season rotate out the perishable items within such as food, water, and medications. The more you can keep in the bag, the more time you’ll have to grab everything else. Remember, it is okay if you can’t do everything. Some preparation is better than no preparation.

If you are in the U.S.A. and experiencing disaster related anxiety call the Disaster Distress Hotline at 1-800-985-5990 for support and resources.

I love cooking things and then not sharing them with people. For me, cooking is really an act of disconnection and hatred.

its fuckin windy

TBH, it’s kind of hard to tell even if you’re local.

Frequent gusts 60-80mph, gusts over 100mph in some areas in this storm. So, you know, hurricane force winds.

California is not, you may have noticed, the UK. The huge risk with our wind storms isn’t seawalls crumbling it’s fucking fires.

^^^^ Winter storm in southern california

That is, in fact on the coast.

But coasts don’t actually get hit worse in storms like this because this is a Santa Ana event, which means that winds were building speed across the great basin and accelerated and dried out as they came over the mountains; this is a windstorm that comes from the inland.

“your houses won’t come down”

80,000 people are evacuated. There are two fatalities so far. An entire (thankfully evacuated) senior care facility burnt down. There are at least four fires and at least a thousand structures have burned.

The last time we had a wind storm this powerful it was in November of 2011 and there were thousands of people left without power for at least a week.

That one may have had stronger sustained winds, but it didn’t come with a fire.

So. You know. A) We know how to handle this. It’s not good, but we do know what to do. B) This is not a “go hunting for your bins” kind of storm; there are plenty of people for whom that will be the primary impact, but there are also a ton of people for whom this will mean the loss of a home.

And again, for the record, I’m fine, just trying to help out people I know who are evacuated.

A friend shared this document with me this morning on mutual aid resources in the area

Encrypted Rich text

CryptPad: end-to-end encrypted collaboration suite

cryptpad.fr

I clicked through this to verify; it is an actively updating list of resources and signal groups for mutual aid.

Please use this if you need it but be cautious, there are going to be a ton of predatory companies out there attempting to profit off of this.

Compliment them. That person you think has their shit together and wouldn’t need it or want to hear it. They do. They absolutely do. Their shit is dispersed. I promise you. It is a shambles.

I’ve had someone tell me to my face that they would compliment me, but for the fact that I already know this or that about myself. Huh???? No. Sorry.

No I don’t. In my weaker moments I become an ungrateful mud monkey that has never once internalized a compliment

I adore being told you like me or something I’ve done. It sustains me, and in my weaker moments when I forget that life is good and happy, you might catch me before I fall.

You ever had someone catch you like that? You can do it too. The ones that catch you have been you in that moment before and know they will be again.
