She'll be right, mate: except for direct messages (blocked) because spammers/scammers have started to infiltrate BlueSky. Retired Emergency Management Officer but still an emergency service volunteer. #emergencymanagement #emergency #emergencyresponse

And so it should be. Lies should not be permitted in politics. Deliberate lies in any kind of social media advertising should have same rules applied. It should attract large fines/criminal charge. Intentional lying and misinformation on any social media platform should be a criminal offence.

Donation management 101. Dissuade people from donating clothing and goods unless particular items are needed in the post-impact, short-term recovery and longer term recovery from disaster events. Cash to reputable organisations is best course of action unless a call for specific items is made.

My guess is he can afford it and will just keep doing the same thing over and over. Not like it is going to break his bank.

Had been in that building many times and next door at Goodies. But, how many more like it are there. It will take a few days for communications to be partially restored and for any accurate impact assessments to filter out.

Pro-medical/Rescue have always done great work in Vila and Luganville. They are a dedicated crew.

NZ Commission are aware there are communication outages in #Vanuatu. Anyone in need of consular assistance should contact the 24/7 emergency consular line on +64 99 20 20 20. NZ stand ready to help Vanuatu, and to respond to requests for assistance. Nicci Simmonds and Winston Peters. 🇻🇺 🤝 🇳🇿

NZ High Commission building, which is co-located with the United States, France and the United Kingdom, has sustained significant damage. 45 New Zealanders registered on SafeTravel as being in #Vanuatu, though we expect there will be more who are not registered. Kiwis are prepared for aftershocks.
