Is this really the best emergency situational deployment?
I think this might be a good optic for assistance in Mediterranean behind the Gerald Ford Group , Joe! Could they handle it? IDK, considering Tuberville blocking big Navy operations appointment/promotions.

Nearly 300 killed as powerful earthquake strikes Morocco

A powerful 6.8-magnitude earthquake struck Morocco on Friday night, killing nearly 300 people and forcing many residents to spend the night in the streets in what the United States Geological Survey (USGS) said was the strongest tremor to hit that part of the North African nation in more than a century.
The quake struck in Moroccos High Atlas mountain range shortly after 11 p.m. local time at the relatively shallow depth of 18.5 kilometers (11.4 miles), USGS said, with the epicenter located about 72 kilometers (44.7 miles) southwest of Marrakesh, a city of some 840,000 people and a popular tourist destination.
At least 296 people were killed, and 153 others were wounded, Morocco state-run Al-Aoula television reported on Saturday. [snip]

Mother Nature on rampage!
The other night we made something like rice-less cabbage rolls on quinoa
Used a ground lamb loaf filling mixed with a bit of orange marmalade and Cosmic apples, chopped and then rolled portions up into split-leaf dark green chard and then baked the rolls in the oven; included a garnish of a lemony Dill Garlic cheese curd topping - placed it over quinoa for plating presentation. It was pretty rich and delish; however, because I used a spray of olive oil over the tops and though I'm familiar with slow-cooked cabbage rolls, how does the chard, a much milder spinach-like cooked flavor which, unfortunately, got a bit paper-crisped in a 350 oven differ from grape leaves (unfamiliar) in flavor or should I have used a different cooking technique to avoid the "crispness" of the delicate chard???
WARNING: Think I've been scammed!
I will print out all communications regarding my purchase ASAP. I will fill out the form on Federal Trade Commission site; package would be coming on a slow boat/airline(s) from China and I've received tracking# and info that indicates it made connection with USPS but no package as yet, after 22 days in transit. I will call the bank to dispute the charges, but likely they won't be able to do much; under $50 and an indication I paid for insurance on confirmation of order. I will need to change some passwords and obtain a new card number and replacement card. Think I clicked an ad on Temo or FB--I should have known better! They got my information though, so maybe there's an investigation somewhere--SMH

Death tolls from climate disasters will 'balloon' without investment in Africa's weather stations, experts warn
The climate crisis is increasing the frequency and intensity of floods, droughts and heat waves, with Africa expected to be among the global regions hit hardest.
Yet the systems and technologies across the continent that monitor and forecast weather events and changes to water levels are "missing, outmoded or malfunctioning"leaving African populations even more exposed to climate change.
This is according to a team of risk experts and climatologists from the UK and Africa led by the University of Cambridge, who warn that without major and rapid upgrades to "hydromet infrastructure," the damage and death toll caused by climate-related disasters across Africa will "balloon."
Writing in the journal Nature, the authors point to latest research showing thatover the last two decadesthe average number of deaths caused by a flooding event in Africa is four times higher than the European and North American average per flood...[snip]
======================================
Seems like a no-brainer to improve and add "stations" and recruit candidates for occupations in this field - Seems these improvements are needed as much as discussion/funding for alternative energy. Have African nations requested any assistance addressing these basic concerns?
