Fighting forest fires in Europe – how it works (European Commission)
European Commission, MEMO, Brussels, 4 August 2014:
Every year there are devastating forest
fires in Europe, destroying thousands of hectares of forests. The South
European countries are at higher risk, but no European country is
immune. When the fire gets too big for a country to extinguish it on its
own, the European Union's Civil Protection Mechanism can be activated
to coordinate the response from participating states.
White House: US ready to help China in quake relief
The White House on Sunday offered condolences over loss of lives in
China's southwestern province of Yunnan, where a strong earthquake
befell earlier in the day, saying the United States was ready to help.
"The United States offers sincere condolences to all those who lost loved ones in the Aug. 3 earthquake in southwestern China," National Security Council spokeswoman Bernadette Meehan said in a statement.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of those that lost their lives, those injured or displaced, and all the people of China on this difficult day," she added.

US West Coast on high alert against tsunami-washed Japanese invasive species
While winter storms have plunged temperatures across various parts of
the United States, the West Coast is bracing itself for an altogether
different – yet still very unwelcome – set of seasonal hazards: invading
marine life from Japan.
Almost three years after the Tohoku earthquake and tsunami ravaged Japan’s east coast and set off the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster, dislodged debris from the site is still washing up onto American shores. Yet while scientists have downplayed the possibility that the wreckage is contaminated with radiation, they are keeping their eyes peeled for hostile sea creatures hitching rides from across the Pacific.

Fukushima debris island the size of Texas floating to the US.
A massive island of debris is slowly making its way to the United
States after forming in the wake of the tsunami that rocked Japan back
in 2011.
The tsunami killed almost 16,000 people in Japan, caused numerous
problems at the nuclear plant in Fukushima, and dislodged more
than 1.5 million floating objects into the Pacific Ocean. Now, a
collection of debris the size of Texas is roughly 1,700 miles off
the coast of California.
According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
(NOAA), the debris scattered by the tsunami has been spread
around an area of the ocean that’s three times the size of the
continental United States. It also said to expect trash to
continue arriving on American shores for the next few years.
Already, objects such as boats, rooftops, soccer balls, and docks
have hit various parts of the West Coast. Even more will arrive
with the Texas-sized island, but, more than the trash, scientists
are interested in the organisms that could be living on them........http://rt.com/usa/fukushima-debris-island-texas-266/
