1/_ 🧵 Many counties (including mine - King County WA) use the CodeRed system for alerting people about a wildfire evacuation. Recently I traded email with county staff and got some details about how this works.

If your county’s emergency management web page shows they use CodeRed then there should be a signup link. When you signup, enter your address or use the map by dragging the marker, zooming in and repeating until the marker is where you live.

If my area is ordered to evacuate then I want to get that message by every means possible. We have a landline so I entered our “Home phone” number, my cell number and my main email address that I check the most often.

Usually soggy King County WA (county seat - Seattle) is hiring for a Community Wildfire Protection Planner. Good! Nice to see local officials taking wildfire risk seriously.

Here is the latest look at the near Fort Nelson British Columbia. That town has been ordered to evacuate. The red outline is the perimeter as of early today but there is now a lot of additional satellite heat detections outside of that perimeter.

This would be a great deal for someone with need to build a garden bed, but the timeframes this person have in their post ("must be gone tomorrow", ie today) are RIDICULOUS (unless you live next door). Have you ever moved that much weight before?

  1. Lift several blocks onto taligate
  2. Climb into truck bed
  3. Lift and place the blocks forward in the bed
  4. Climb out of truck bed
  5. Rinse and repeat

Got garden weather?
39 and rain near Redmond WA this morning.

Mini greenhouse has several kinds of onions grown from seed and ready to transplant, some carrots, lettuce, and two bell pepper plants. Spinach and radishes have already been harvested and those areas will be replanted with carrots, radish and onions. I am curious if I can get Walla Walla onions to mature planting as late as May 1.

The pic with the raised bed has Davidor Shallots on the left and Walla Walla onions on the right. The Wallas were planted last fall and overwintered in the greenhouse. In the background are strawberries, garlic and early potatoes.

Just sitting here minding my BBQ ribs and a swarm of bees showed up :shrug: - maybe they would like some smoked pork ribs?

@ai6yr If you could just distill that magic elixar and market it then you would be fixed for life. Assuming, of course, that there is a large enough market of folks that want random bee swarms to show up at their place.

To read NOAA’s forecast discussion, open the map, click inside any red-outlined area and follow the link. I expect the discussion for various forecast areas will be updated as the day goes on.

The shaded areas indicate where NOAA says severe weather is mostly likely to happen today.

Each time you open this map you will see any current warnings for tornados (red), severe thunderstorms (yellow) and flash floods (green). For details, click inside any outline and then follow the link.

You also will see the latest weather radar on top of the area with the greatest risk for tornados today.

About those phone apps that display property lines...

Popular apps that display property lines include LandGlide, OnX, Regrid and various others. All they do is display a copy of the parcel line data maintain by the counties. If the county parcel line data is bad then the same bad data is displayed by these apps.

The pic below shows a map I recently made for client using the surveyed description on the client’s deed. The black lines show the parcel line data from the county GIS server.

If this property owner was using a cell phone app instead of a custom map then they would never find their corner stakes.

@ai6yr Ha! Back in the day when I invested in vacant recreational property I once found 3 back lots of a river front subdivision that the developer never sold. And they were never put on the tax roll. Each lot was several acres. I tracked the developer down and bought a deed for not very much, got them on the tax roll and sold them.

Got swallow?

The swallows are back. Yea! 🥳 🎉

Both tree swallows and barn swallows nest in our neighborhood. We can sit on our deck and watch them make a touch-and-go over a small pond in our pasture to get a drink. Also, the barn swallows land in our garden to get dirt for their nest. Best part of all - very few mosquitoes at our place due to these mini jet fighters.

Wildfire near WA. Map shows satellite heat detections. Data is not real time and there is often several hours between updates.

A strong south wind has come through this afternoon and that will hit this fire if it hasn’t already.

If, like me, you live in the usually soggy consider this a reminder that things are going to be different here in terms of wildfire. We all need to get savvy about defensible space, ‘go bags’ and multiple evacuation routes.

Yikes, WhatsUp for disaster situational awareness in the Maui AAR. I guess no worse than Slack, but seems haphazard. Looks like they know that and are looking to improve all their tools. 😬

@mappingsupport@m.ai6yr.org avatar

@ai6yr For any first responders needing situational awareness during disaster response - please listen up.

Recommend you take a good look at ATAK which is a free android app developed and maintained by the feds.
https://tak.gov/products

Slack group 'ATAK END USERS' has a bunch of responders from ATAK-newbies to ATAK-pros.

USFS is getting deep into ATAK for wildland fire SA.

Another great link with lots of ATAK help resources.

Yes, there is a learning curve but there are tons of videos.

@ai6yr I did a map for a guy one time where the county GIS property line went through his barn. When I processed the survey he provided it turned out that his property line was about 200 feet away from the barn.

In some areas his survey indicated a fence and I could see parts of the same fence on the back parts of his property. That info let me align the survey data to the Google aerial. The client was quite relieved to see the results.

The trail website includes a link to a GPX file which is displayed on the map below. When the map opens it displays the “Open Topo” basemap which includes the trail data from Open Street Map.
