Economic stabilization used to be part of the disaster preparedness toolbox. It is time we add it back in. Just as it was recognized that some banks were too big to fail after the global financial crisis, we have to recognize that some sectors are “too essential to fail.”

The railway movement is the movement of all Ukraine. It drives our defense, our economy, and even our communication with the world—almost every delegation of our partners arrives in Ukraine by rail. Railway workers connect every corner of our country, making it possible for Ukrainians to reunite with loved ones, regardless of the circumstances. Today, thousands of railway workers serve in Ukraine’s Defense and Security Forces, fighting on the front lines for the sake of Ukraine. For thousands of Ukrainian businesses, the railway is a pillar of survival, and hence, job preservation for many of our people. All this is an enormous effort and truly one of the most vital contributions to the preservation of Ukraine. I am grateful for all that you do. Congratulations on your professional holiday, Railway Workers’ Day. @Ukrzaliznytsia

At an event in Brussels focused on the rehabilitation of Ukrainian soldiers, participants were reportedly targeted in a gas poisoning attempt. After a film screening about the war in Ukraine, attendees noticed a strange smell and signs of poisoning. Event organizers stated that this was yet another provocation by Russia. Several people were hospitalized. An investigation is ongoing. .

As global systemic risk intensifies (not just climate) societies will face increasing systemic disruption. Scale means citizens must be at the 🩶of preparedness + response. Question for election candidates in Ireland: How will your party support a Whole-of Society response?

Yesterday FASI’s @Nuclear_Balm and @AleixNadal hosted a strategic #wargame that focused on the UK’s Space Architecture. Players were able to consider the evaluation of space dependencies and allied support in 2030. Thanks to @EM_Dalessandro for developing & running the game.
