Okay—but that anxiety is exactly what makes me good at my job in #emergencymanagement. Someone’s gotta think of the worst-case scenario so others don’t have to!

#DEVELOPING: Toronto residents are asked to avoid travel if possible on Sunday as gusting winds and snowfall amount of up to 40 cm are expected to make travel hazardous across the region toronto.citynews.ca/2026/01/25/haz…

God exists everywhere except for Pearson International Airport

Does anyone happen to know where Doug Ford is expected to start shovelling today?

With the upgrade to an Orange Snowfall Warning, if you can avoid going out, please do so as roads may be hazardous. Stay warm, reduce travel, and check in on neighbours. #ONStorm #snowday #safetyfirst

I’ve got questions about the new Environment Canada colour coded warning system when a yellow snow warning is in place for a 30cm storm that cancels all schools in Canada’s largest city. It’s brutal outside, 50km/h winds, -25 wind chills. If no orange warning now then when?

Snowfall warning issued for Toronto beginning tonight. Here's how much you could expect trib.al/xkQBlJ7

Heads up, Ontario: a multi-day heat event is here. Please stay hydrated, check in on vulnerable friends and family, and limit time outdoors during peak heat. Your safety matters. #ONHeatWarning #ONStorm #ONwx

Exoplanet... Kamchatka Quake: One of the Strongest in Decades On July 30, 2025, a magnitude 8.8 earthquake rocked the seafloor east of Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula — the largest quake since Japan’s 2011 disaster and one of the top 10 ever recorded. It wasn’t a single jolt — the quake ruptured a 500×150 km fault zone where the Pacific Plate dives beneath the North American Plate in a fast-moving subduction zone. The region had been shaking for 10 days, including a M7.4 foreshock and over 50 quakes above M5.0. Dozens of strong aftershocks followed. This area is no stranger to megaquakes — in fact, a M9.0 quake hit just 30 km away in 1952. With tectonic strain building at 80 mm/year, over 6 meters of stress had accumulated — now partially released Image: USGS map of quake activity along the Kuril-Kamchatka Trench.

After an 8.8-magnitude earthquake off the coast of Russia’s Kamchatka peninsula, early tsunami warning systems kicked in and helped millions of people safely evacuate #Echobox=1754006375" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">newscientist.com/article/249080…

I didn’t realize I was in a daily cage match with the four horsemen until this post called me out. The most frustrating part is having all the passion and none of the capacity.

A Tsunami Warning has been issued for the Alaska Peninsula areas from the Kennedy Entrance to Unimak Pass. Cities included are Cold Bay, Sand Point, and Kodiak. We can say with reasonable confidence that the Kenai Peninsula Borough locations will not see impacts.

Happy Canada Day! My beloved country, the true north strong and free. (image by Radarsat via @csa_asc) asc-csa.gc.ca/eng/multimedia…

Just got my Associate Certificate in Emergency Management Exercise Design from JIBC! It came slightly bent (mailbox drama), but I’m now certified to cause simulated chaos. Can’t wait to design exercises that make people panic… productively. #EMGtwitter #JIBC
