#scanner SEPTA buses are being re-routed around Westmoreland and Allegheny

#socialmedia "Important to understand today’s clearout is targeting two encampments, a mile apart, but there are maybe a half dozen other sites along Kensington Ave in between. Over 80 people sleep in McPherson Square. Displacement prevention strategy does not exist, community leaders say."

#scanner When asked for an update from the Inspector, a unit replied that the eviction was "slow-rolling" and that they're trying to get people to move, but "not everyone is in line." Inspector replied "Alright, speed it up. They won't be in line, just move 'em."

#scanner Units requested to 1800 block of Lehigh to block traffic in relation to the detail

#OTG The people being evicted from Kenzington and Allegheny are only being allowed to keep what they can carry. Everything else left unattended is being thrown away by police and city workers. Trash and cleaning trucks have just pulled up to Kenzington and Allegheny.

#scanner 2-alarm fire ongoing at the oil refinery at 26th and Penrose. The city claims no shelter in place order, but they and the petrochemical companies didn’t alert us last time until it was too late and we’d all been exposed to benzenes. Take measures now to limit fume exposure if you’re downwind, such as closing all windows.

Keep an eye out for opportunities to assist remotely in the path of Hurricane Ida. Also be aware that Ida is set to hit us Wed or Thurs.

NOLA is now fully without power, including.... The sewer department. This means that the pumps that are supposed to help keep the water out have failed.
The aftermath is expected to be pretty bad
