Today's anniversary of the tornado outbreak that included tornadoes near Andover and El Dorado, Kansas, is a good time for a reminder:
DON'T SHELTER UNDER AN OVERPASS!
That TV crew got lucky.

#EMGTwitter folk: I'm trying to use up credits for free audiobooks. Are there any disaster-related books that you especially recommend the audiobook version? Histories, case studies especially, but any welcome, especially if they're permanent additions to your collection.

The town of West, Texas: with a population of 2,500, it's not known for a lot other than a proud Czech heritage.
#Onthisday in 2013, the tiny burg was rocked by tragedy when an explosion at a fertilizer factory killed 15, including 12 firefighters. csb.gov/videos/dangerously-c…

The healing from March 26, 2024, will always continue, and such support is so very vital to honor and serve the living and remember and honor the dead.

It’s not every day you get asked to take your Fire Chief, the Mayor, the Governor, and grieving families to the site of a horrific tragedy.
It was my pleasure and an honor, along with my entire crew, to help with the grieving process and mourning the loss of their loved ones.

The @marylandpubtv & @wbaltv11 documentary about last year's collapse of Baltimore's Key Bridge is very well done, and I think it's an important watch for emergency management practitioners, students, & professors. Response, recovery, community impacts... youtu.be/EXNILKGtAWQ?si=NMhv…

Love the way the Denver news anchor systematically destroys this outrageous claim, starting with an overview of a super impressive resume that renders her eminently qualified for the role and ending with a polite but firm reminder that the politician who made it is a sexist idiot

Yes!! I'm a huge proponent of reaching people where they are and explaining how research benefits them. Vital in emergency management, public health, and SO many fields!!

The hill I will die on: STEM grad programs MUST teach PhD students how to communicate their science to the public and legislators alike. This is 💯 not a drill.
