Mindlobowing IR satellite image of Category 5 hurricane #Milton. Those gravity waves! Max sustained winds of 180 mph (290 km/h), central pressure of 905 mbar. Only 2 other hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico have had maximum winds of 180+ mph since 1950: Allen (1980) and Rita (2005)

@EE has been a fantastic company to work with professionally over the years, but my personal UX / CX view of it the last couple of days has been a revelation. Such a shame when it’s something handled well by @VodafoneUK’s equivalent service. #ServiceDesign

Congratulations @dwaynefields on becoming Chief Scout, inspiring half a million @Scouts to believe in themselves, help other people and gain #SkillsForLife

@uhbwNHS my 9 year old daughter has been waiting to see fracture clinic for 5 weeks now, after an urgent referral from the GP, for a known foot fracture. Is this normal?

@HasisD Anytime, and @FloodDigitalEA always happy to help and love feedback!

@DrKateMarks A really useful response...thank you Kate. Much appreciated

I get the 'precision/accuracy' argument, but it has just struck me as slightly odd that the EA flood warnings map (left) doesn't show buildings, in the same way, or as clearly, as the flood risk map (right) does. Is that really helpful?

A very happy 98th birthday to Sir David Attenborough (a proud Scout!)

@NHSuk I keep getting reminders to get my child vaccinated, they have been, and the GP says that their records reflect that. So I’m not sure why your records are incorrect, nor does there appear to be a mechanism to correct them? Seems a waste to chase people due to data quality issues?

Measles cases are rising in England. You can still ask your GP practice for the MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) vaccine if your child has missed either of their 2 doses. For more information ➡️ nhs.uk/MMR

Great work here by @FloodDigitalEA #UserExperience #UXDesign

@CounselLiz @CrossCountryUK 💯 agree!

@DrKateMarks @CrossCountryUK Thanks for speaking up on their behalf. I really worry about leadership in organisations. Listening to employee concerns and delivering safe reliable practices for them and your customers should be part of the fabric of any service industry.

Another day, another badly overcrowded and thus potentially unsafe @CrossCountryUK train. Train manager has actually just asked us all to complain on social media because ‘maybe they will then listen’, any comments @CrossCountryUK?

@PaulClementsEA @EnvAgency Thank you @PaulClementsEA, very kind of you to say all that ☺️

@cbell46 Thank you and congratulations to @GillPClaytonEA and Keith Ashcroft too!

Well done @DrKateMarks for her OBE, and Keith Ashcroft and Gillian Clayton for their MBE’s in the NY honours

I'm honoured and humbled to have been awarded an OBE in the #NewYearsHonours. This is, however, really a recognition of the importance of the work we all collectively do in these fields to make the world a safer, more welcoming and inclusive place. Thank you for all you do too.

We're so pleased to work with many different corporate partners to help more young people access Scouts and to learn #SkillsForLife. Could you work with us in 2024? Find out more about corporate partnerships and get in touch here: bit.ly/482179p

@HasisD Defra stand it up in conjunction with Cabinet Office and it coordinates cross-agency and government operations for flood response.

Question for UK #EMGTwitter: What is the "National Flood Response Centre"? I've now seen it mentioned in Hansard and the NAO Resilience to Xtreme weather review...but I don't know what it comprises. Is it part of the long awaited Conops refresh?

@katkinsmith Yes, I probably should have posted the ready made English translation by @Vedurstofan (was too busy being wowed by the imagery!) but if you click on the original post from them you’ll find @X have a translation option built in to the post too.

@DrKateMarks I may need some help interpreting this 😳

Incredible satellite imagery of the surface deformation experienced in one day around #Grindavik in #Iceland. #EMGTwitter #DRR #DataAnalytics

One of the reasons we're worried about #StormCiarán is because of the loss of 'capacity' within the soil as a result of #StormBabet. This animation shows how the soil moisture deficit changed across England and Wales 10 days ago - the dark blues showing 'saturated' catchments
