I'm probably going to be doing relays for tornado warnings, but if you are in #Texas#Oklahoma#Kansas#Nebraska, or Indigenous #TribalLands in that space landlocked by the US SPECIFICALLY - have multiple ways to access weather warnings.
Make sure your phone is on, charged, and not on Do Not Disturb. Have a NOAA weather radio, ideally. Find some local media coverage if you have it.
State agency in Maine rejects #Canadian#mining company’s rezoning application
February 14, 2024
BREWER, #Maine (AP) — A state agency on Wednesday rejected a Canadian mining company’s zoning application for a proposed mine on #PickettMountain in northern Penobscot County, near #BaxterStatePark and the #KatahdinWoods & Waters National Monument.
"The Maine Land Use Planning [#LUPC] Commission voted 5-2 against #Wolfden's request to rezone on 374 acres (150 hectares), which would've been the first of several hurdles to building a #MetallicMine in the #Katahdin region.
"The panel had numerous concerns including the economic feasibility of the proposed mine. The panel also considered the impacts on #TribalLands, #wildlife, #water resources, the outdoors economy and other factors.
"'This ruling is a great victory for the precious waters and lands of the Katahdin region and the people that rely upon them for sustenance and well-being,' said Penobscot Tribal Chief #KirkFrancis.
"Wolfden withdrew its first application after the commission’s staff pointed to multiple errors and inconsistencies with its proposal. It was resubmitted in January 2023 with a goal of addressing the concerns."
"You're killing our land, our water, my people, and future generations..."
He's not wrong. We need to make sure that those pouring money into #FossilFuel companies know what they are doing to the environments and ecology on #TribalLands.
