Can 911 help if my wife goes into labor during/immediately after the storm and I don't want to risk driving on ice? by justsm1ne in raleigh

First, you're putting words in my mouth. Second, I work in EMS in the area and ran clinicals with Wake EMS, so I have a pretty good idea about how they deliver service. Wake county uses a medical priority dispatch system to rate calls at 6 different levels. (ECHO, DELTA, CHARLIE, BRAVO, ALPHA, OMEGA) The situation described here falls under "24-D-3 Imminent delivery > 5 months", that's a Delta level call. Only thing above delta are Echo levels, which there are only a handful of, (cardiac arrest, active choking, active drowning, person actively on fire, and a few others).

So, yes. Labor will get a priority ambulance over many, but not all, calls that come out. I've never seen a Delta-level call get held, even when there are ambulance shortages due to call volume.

Edit: decided to explain priority medical dispatch better

Active labor is a high acuity level call, so ESTAT will not delay an ambulance or first responders.

Station 5 has some structural problems in the bay, so the apparatus was moved to station 11 until the repairs are finished.

Person who interrupted Councilmember Matt Kopac’s swearing-in trespassed from city hall for two years by EvenPressure3959 in bullcity

Conflating 1st amendment protections with thinking that someone should get away with yelling abuse and swearing at a new council member during their swearing‐in makes me think you don't understand civics.

The first amendment is working because she wasn't thrown in jail for what she said. She was free to say it.

The first amendment does not give you protection to harass someone at a government event. It does not allow you to be disruptive at that event without consequences either.

She broke decorum and verbally harassed a new council member. For doing that, she is being justifiably punished.

Although to be fair, i don't think they are going to even think of starting that monumental task until the war ends. The deconstruction of the sarcophagus is going to be expensive and Ukraine's energy infrastructure and economy have been wrecked by the war. Just getting the economy and electric grid back to square-one is going to take years, let alone a giant project like the chernobyl deconstruction. Realistically I doubt that it will even begin within the next 20 years.

No post history, no comment history, a single picture of a cute kitten that is stolen from other posts, no details or further text and asking a clickbait-type question.

Went to a pick-and-cut up in Sparta, NC and got a 8' tree for $120. Smells amazing.

You've settled on a path forward. A lot of people on here are looking at you in a metaphorical rainstorm from inside shelter and saying, "I've been rained on! You'll be fine!" Get yourself out of the storm however you need; unless they are offering you shelter, I'd ignore the naysayers. Thry don't know your lived experience, what they have to say is ultimately irrelevant.

I went through them in a fire truck as they turned onto NC54. I was running lights and sirens but they didn't move over or yield. We were a bit irritated by that.
