US accounts 4 10% of world exports, 14% of world trade. The #Trump tariff #disaster prompting suggestions that US be sidestepped & other nations combining 4 a new trade arrangement. UK Govt could consider this, rather than acquiesce to Trump, a narcissist who only exploits weakness, & whose policies are incoherent, & who only wants to benefit the rich. #RejoinEU

No communications... no gas... no access due to downed trees and power lines 👀

"...Because of phone and internet service outages, many people could not get in touch with loved ones. Hamp explained that due to these outages, many people were calling emergency services for welfare checks.

Hamp stated that the department faced challenges “right at the get-go.” He explained that emergency vehicles needed gas and though the demand has decreased as more gas stations have received power, the demand hasn’t disappeared. ..."

Wonder how Alpena County, Michigan is doing. They announced door-to-door welfare checks yesterday.... (ice storm from 4 days ago!)

Alpena County will be conducting door to door wellness checks of our residents. To request a specific location/person be checked, click this link and complete the form forms.gle/jryUmMKBNtiQXDx8A To speed the process of door to door checks, hang a white item on your door if you're ok or a red item if you need help. Also see Alpena County website.

Tip to save your life.

If you ever need to call for help in an emergency (police/fire/rescue/etc) you need to give your location. What if you are not at a street address or you do not know the address?

GPS chips in phones all basically work the same way. They produce (1) your latitude longitude coordinates in decimal degrees and (2) an accuracy value in meters.

Caution! When you first turn location services ‘on’ the accuracy value could easily be over 5,000 meters.

Caution! Some software (looking at you Google maps) only displays coordinates and does not display the equally important accuracy value.

findmesar.com is an open source #ProgressiveWebApp (PWA) I developed that displays your coordinates and accuracy value in several formats. It can be installed on Android and iOS for offline use. **Not available in any app store, not on GitHub and 100% enshitification free.**

To give it a try, open FindMeSAR, scroll down and tap ‘No’ and then give permission to use your location. Now tap ‘Next format’ to scroll through the various formats.

For instructions on how to install it for offline use, tap ‘Tips’.

Other buttons let you copy the data to the clipboard and, if your device is online, open the GISsurfer web map with a marker at your location. I am the GISsurfer dev and you can read more about it at gissurfer.com.
