The "Mission Homefront" campaign asserts that it is time for the Defence leadership, from the minister to the Defence service heads, to address the issue of housing and conditions and take decisive and quantifiable action, as it is what the NZDF's service people deserve. Reflecting on the promises made by successive ministers and Defence heads since 1990 is not just an exercise in history but a stark reminder of the commitments made to our NZDF personnel. The 1990 Quigley report set the stage for transformation within the Defence Force, which should have sustained conditions of service and support for our dedicated service members. Instead, according to evidence collected by Erin Speedy, Defence housing, barracks, and service conditions have progressively deteriorated. As the Defence Force confronts economic, retention, and recruiting challenges, the question arises: where are the tangible improvements promised through subsequent reviews, restructures, and reorganisations over the past decades? The urgent and undeniable need for "Mission Homefront" underscores a critical gap between promises made and outcomes achieved. More concerted efforts are necessary to ensure that our NZDF personnel receive and genuinely experience the support and conditions they deserve. The goal is for "Mission Homefront" to become unnecessary, with the NZDF resuming its mantle as a people-oriented organisation. Best of luck to the "Mission Homefront" team.

Institutional organizations once again play a crucial role in humanitarian and rescue operations, this time in response to the recent climate disaster in Valencia, Spain. Among the resources mobilized for this relief VANGUARD MARINE is proud to contribute with some of its RIB units owned and operated by the “Grupo Especial de Actividades Subacuáticas de la Guardia Civil (GEAS)”, which, as shown in the photograph, have proven essential for the success of the rescue operations. The functionality of VANGUARD boats stands out in emergency situations, demonstrating their capability to withstand adverse conditions and provide aid to affected populations. The contribution of the Guardia Civil with VANGUARD boats to the rescue efforts in Valencia once again highlights the positive impact that nautical technology and innovation can bring to crisis situations, reflecting the company's commitment to supporting rescue missions worldwide.

https://lnkd.in/ejuui6Et Our team acquired satellite imagery of Village de Dieu, the strong hold of the gang Baz 5 Segond, led by Johnson André aka “Izo 5Segond”. We further cross-referenced our satellite images with social media activity from gang members, offering a groundbreaking perspective on their operations in Port-au-Prince. This dual approach highlights the gang's locations and technological capabilities, underscoring the importance of targeted analysis in tackling Haiti's security challenges. Our findings pave the way for strategic operations to disrupt gang influence and enhance community safety.

Great to read about this important work being done by SDI. (Slum Dwellers International)'s Sierra Leone affiliate, in partnership with the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team--working with slum dweller leaders to put Monrovia's slums on the map. Community-driven slum mapping is such a critical step in ensuring the most vulnerable communities are able to access the resources, infrastructure, and services they need to build true resilience. There is tremendous potential for diverse stakeholders, including our team at Build Change, to work with communities and use this powerful data to increase access to resilient housing at scale in a way that is relevant and affordable to the communities! #ResilientHousing #ResilientCities #HousingJustice https://bloom.bg/3Wjl4DM

🔥There are 5 National Prepared Levels. Today we at #4: “National resources are heavily committed. National mobilization trends affect all geographic areas and regularly occur over larger distances. National priorities govern resources of all types. Heavy demand on inactive/low activity geographic areas for available resources.” #WildlandFire #FirePreparedness #NationalPreparedness #FireSafety #FireSeason #Firefighters #EmergencyPreparedness #WildfireAwareness #CommunityResilience #FireResponse https://lnkd.in/eshr5vBE

Harnessing Canine Expertise with Search Cameras in Earthquake Disasters. The importance of swift and effective search and rescue operations cannot be overstated in the wake of a devastating earthquake. Lives hang in the balance and every second counts. Arguably the two best tools for such an operation are search and rescue cameras and specially trained canines which stand out as indispensable assets. Together, they form a powerful duo that significantly enhances the efficiency and success of post-earthquake recovery efforts. https://buff.ly/4buvc3k #searchandrescue #Rescue #FireRescue #emergencyresponse #firstresponse #firetresponders

When the shaking stops after a decent earthquake, people often take a moment to think about how they can be better prepared for the next one. Developed through agency VML our 'After Quake Double Take' campaign recently picked up a silver medal for "best use of data" at the Commercial Communications Council's Beacon Awards, recognising our innovative use of data to enhance community resilience. We use this small window of opportunity after a quake to roll out the campaign, encouraging people to take 5 easy actions to make their homes safer. GeoNet data is used to determine where the shaking was felt most intensely across the motu, and the campaign is delivered in that area in the week or two that follows. Thanks to the data GeoNet provides, these important preparedness messages have reached thousands of Kiwis, at a time when they are more likely to take action. https://lnkd.in/diZ2X_HQ

Hello Everyone, I have been studying about Open street map by the Humanitarian Open streetmap team (HOT) lately and how it has been saving the lives of people in Turkey and Syria that suffered from the recent Earthquake disaster that happened on the 6th of February 2023. In this blog post I listed some of the main takeaways i got from the story map which i also posted in the blog post. Click here: https://lnkd.in/d65bChEJ.
