AI6YR Ben<p>Disaster preparedness progress today: more intumescent paint, slowly working through the rest of the paint in order of vulnerability. (first was the siding, the the eaves above remaining plants next to the house, then the lower level eave exposures, and now the other side of the house with eaves that have exposures.) Running short on energy, not paint, LOL. (it's an arm workout!!). Also trying to finish off sections one at a time, so it doesn't look the house is disassembled.</p><p><a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/disasterpreparedness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>disasterpreparedness</span></a> <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/wildfires" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wildfires</span></a></p>
The Japan Times<p>Japan's parliament has enacted a bill to facilitate restoring ports damaged by natural disasters so they can be used as transportation bases for relief supplies. <a href="https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/04/16/japan/ishikawa-earthquake-ports/?utm_medium=Social&amp;utm_source=mastodon" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/04/</span><span class="invisible">16/japan/ishikawa-earthquake-ports/?utm_medium=Social&amp;utm_source=mastodon</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/japan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>japan</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/earthquakes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>earthquakes</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ishikawaearthquake" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ishikawaearthquake</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/notopeninsula" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>notopeninsula</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ports" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ports</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/disasterpreparedness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>disasterpreparedness</span></a></p>
AI6YR Ben<p>Finished painting and touching up my now more fire resistant siding, in between other projects. Still need to finish off the eaves. Main lessons:</p><p>1. Need to make sure the intumescent paint is dry as possible before top coat.</p><p>2. THIN top coat and second coat better than one thick coat. (Keeps paint lighter and less likely to slide or sag)</p><p>3. COOL air temperatures a lot better for the top coat than HOT. Even within paint range. More viscosity helps.</p><p><a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/disasterpreparedness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>disasterpreparedness</span></a> <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/wildfires" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wildfires</span></a> <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/painting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>painting</span></a></p>
AI6YR Ben<p>Hmm, still have a LOT of intumescent paint. Looks like I will be doing everything wood attached to the lower level of the house, LOL. Also means I will have to buy more paint to top coat later. Turning into a month long project.<a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/disasterpreparedness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>disasterpreparedness</span></a> <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/wildfires" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wildfires</span></a></p>
AI6YR Ben<p>Fine. Moved a few of the "foundation plants" near my house into pots, so they are portable (a few small coffee plants and former houseplants). Procedure will be to move them away from the house when Red Flag Warning conditions appear. In the -0-5 ft defensible space area. <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/disasterpreparedness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>disasterpreparedness</span></a> <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/wildfires" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wildfires</span></a></p>
AI6YR Ben<p>Hmm, I have a lot more fire retardant paint left still, so I guess I will keep on going. (siding is painted, working on eaves). The big issue with paint (as usual) is how labor intensive it is, especially on the undersides of the eaves (up on a ladder, arms up...). After it's all painted, will need to cure for 4-5 days before top coat. Intumscent paint, which provides significant protection from ignition. <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/random" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>random</span></a> <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/disasterpreparedness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>disasterpreparedness</span></a> <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/painting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>painting</span></a> <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/wildfires" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wildfires</span></a></p>
AI6YR Ben<p>Painting the siding of my house with intumescent paint. Some small amount of insurance.

Joseph Elfelt<p>Tip to save your life.</p><p>If you ever need to call for help in an emergency (police/fire/rescue/etc) you need to give your location.

They produce (1) your latitude longitude coordinates in decimal degrees and (2) an accuracy value in meters. </p><p>Caution!
