E23 Scales of Emergency Response (Itch #1)

I had an “allergic reaction” this summer to some language people around me are using to invite climate action: “be a first responder.” And so, I sit and write as a means to scratch the itch. What I found: As the scale of emergency grows, the ability of community to be proactive, responsive and response-ABLE becomes imperative.

Reflection

• What are three examples of emergencies that you or your city experienced over the last three months where life was in immediate danger? 

• What urgent calls to action do you hear in your community, asking people to change their behaviour to avoid emergencies?

• How can you grow your capacity to: 1) hear that you need to behave differently to avoid emergencies, and 2) choose to behave differently? 

• What is one thing you can do to enable your response-ability?
