This is the level of awareness and preparedness every leader in the world needs to exercise.

A Swiss village (click here) has been ordered to evacuate amid warnings a large mass of rock looming overhead could come tumbling down in the coming days.

Leaders in Brienz held a town hall event on Tuesday evening and told residents they would have to leave by 6 pm local time on Friday.

The head of the early warning service, Stefan Schneider, said that measurements indicated a “strong acceleration over a large area” in recent days, and “up to 2 million cubic meters of rock material will collapse or slide in the coming seven to 24 days.”...

It is called valuing human life. Anything less than this is a human rights violation. This is the opposite of valuing human life.

...On September 20, (click here) a collapse of a hanging glacier from the slope of Mt. Dzhimarai-Khokh onto the Kolka Glacier triggered an avalanche of ice and debris that went over the Maili Glacier terminus then slid more than 15 miles (24 km). The avalanche buried small villages in the Russian Republic of North Ossetia, killing dozens of people. Where the ice stopped, the glacial debris flow dammed rivers further below. Several lakes formed and one of them flooded a village. These lakes are now threatening to burst and form debris flows....

Russian elites have their own everything including a hospital. They carry out all the functions of a society with the latest technologies and studies, however, there is little that moves the Russia elites to protect all Russians, yet alone any ethnicities outside of Russia.

In 2010 the wildfires in Russia were disabling with death tolls in the thousands if not tens of thousands. Putin always looks good in ordering interventions that are supposed to stem damage and deaths, but, there is never any back-up in the way of sincere efforts.

According to the State environmental agency (click here) "Mosekomonitoring", in the morning in Moscow, the maximum concentration of carbon monoxide in the air exceeded the acceptable norm by 3.6 times, the content of suspended particles by 2.8 times, and specific hydrocarbons by 1.5 times.

The Moscow airports of Domodedovo and Vnukovo were unable to land more than 40 planes and were only able to send about 20 planes due to the strong haze caused by the smoke. As of 10 a.m., visibility at Domodedovo was 350 m and 300 m at Vnukovo. According to the Federal Air Transportation Agency, the Sheremetyevo airport works as usual because of visibility of about 800 m.

Moscow - Several thousand Muscovites are thought to have died in July alone (click here) from this year’s unprecedented heatwave and August could add more fatalities, a Russian scientist said on Tuesday.

Moscow, a metropolis of over 10 million people, has suffered intense heat since late June, with day temperatures sometimes nearing 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit).

The crisis shriveled a third of Russia’s grain crop, shaved billions off this year’s economic growth and killed at least 54 people in wildfires. The heat subsided on Tuesday.

Citing a report by the Moscow Registry Office, Boris Revich, a senior demography and ecology researcher at Russia’s Academy of Sciences, said 5,840 more Muscovites had died in July than in the same month last year.

Revich said he believed the overwhelming majority of these additional deaths had been caused by the fierce heatwave.

“This situation was absolutely easy to forecast,” he told a news conference. “The only thing I blame myself for ... is that my estimate (of deaths) was too low at the start of the heat.”...


There is an enormous difference in GOVERNANCE between communist countries and Free Countries. Free Countries value human life and don't dismiss deaths.
