"64% of the time, evacuation messaging does not name the hazard. Lean into using plain language & name the hazard." - Dr. Jeannette Sutton, Associate Professor, College of Emergency Preparedness, @DHSgov & Cybersecurity Univ., @AlbanyStateUniv.

Resources from around the country are assisting ongoing operations in western North Carolina. We are grateful to @VP and our federal partners for the support. Federal, state and local officials are working around the clock to provide relief and recovery.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency provides $750 assistance payments for essential supplies such as food, water and fuel. That assistance is not a loan that needs repaying, according to the agency and its spokespeople.

🧵I’ve read through the evidence section—the first 85 pages—of Jack Smith filing on Trump’s private criminal efforts to stay in power despite knowing that he’d lost the election.
The evidence is stunning. It’s clear why Trump did not want the public to see this testimony.
13 things jumped out to me on Trump’s attempt to defraud the American people and steal the 2020 election.
