The United Nations Inter-Agency Working Group on Emergency Response has deployed an emergency data response tool to assist the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO) to collate disaggregated data on the number of people displaced by the spillage of the Kpong and Akosombo dams.
Went for a walk round the river by Pitlochry Dam last week. It was just after a week long rainfall, and the waters were big and noisy and very impressive. Have been there many times, but I don't think I'd seen the river so turbulent before.The noise was incredible as you walked over the dam. Lots of people transfixed by it all.
Traumatic injury rescue at the Matilija Dam (Ojai) "...patient had jumped from a boulder and landed approximately 60 feet below into a shallow underwater shelf. The patient intended to jump into deeper waters but landed in water only about 1 foot deep. The patient sustained traumatic injuries and was situated in a location with difficult access..." #ojai#dam#rescue#SearchAndRescue#VenturaCountyhttps://nixle.us/ERXSK
The #Map in #NeoFinder 8.5 has a new context menu with some very helpful options, like you can use it to quickly move GeoTags, or show locations in OpenStreetMap and Google Maps, among other things.
For very large and complex setups, you can now place Aliases of Catalog files in the NeoFinder Database folder. (Business License only)
Previous NeoFinder versions allowed Aliases to folders, but now NeoFinder can also handle catalog file aliases. That way you can give uses access to catalogs in different database folders on a NAS or server.

"As many as 2,000 people may have been drowned after a powerful storm unleashed catastrophic #floods in the eastern Libyan city of #Derna.
The deaths occurred after a powerful storm and heavy floods led to the collapse of two ageing dams, which released a swollen fast-moving river that simply washed away at least one neighbourhood."
Climate change is an immediate threat to the majority of the world's population.
We need a local, regional, state, national, and international "moon shot" type of concentration of effort using available resources while developing and advancing new science and technologies to counteract the damage humans have caused.
Without this type of all-out, universal cooperation, human civilization, and perhaps humanity itself, are in imminent danger of extinction.
By relying on the #knowledge that's long been known, rather than the "just because we can" arrogance of #capitalism, we can stop the long, slow, and now imminent #suicide of our #species.
#Libya is far from the only place where #dam collapse has directly caused large human death tolls.
