It’s hot! But we’re tracking it.

Your favorite PIO is popping the national hit.

Live spot with AccuWeather on the HeatWave here in the Midwest.

IEMA-OHS Director Alicia Tate-Nadeau on the update on weather safety.

Doing live interviews is tougher than it seems…esp having to do with the heat in the Midwest.

Here’ are a few tips that you can use.

Wear loose, lightweight, and light-colored clothing

Stay in the shade as much as possible.

Keep shades/blinds drawn.

Avoid using the oven.

Take frequent showers to stay cool.

Use cool/wet towels to cool off

Visit public cooling centers.

Use your local public pool.

Visit an indoor mall.

Take in a new movie at the movie theater.

Stay cool my friends!

The BEAST in Chicago

Some days, I get to see cool things….

Because of the work we will be doing with the US Secret Service, got to be up close and personal with the Beast.

This is the US Presidential limo that takes POTUS around.

As you can probably tell, it’s a bit more fortified than other limos….and protected from stuff.

Additionally, they brought a few support vehicles too. All the prep for the upcoming National Special Security Event (NSSE) with the 2024 Democratic National Convention here in Chicago.

Proud to work close with the US Secret Service in these upcoming events.

This is a star studded cast with all these PIO faces.

My first PIO class was with Tamara McBride….and my video was done on a VHS tape.

Starting the orientation on our command vehicles.

Lots to learn as these resources are incredibly helpful for our local public safety partners.

UAC: Unified Area Command

This thing is YUGE!

All I know is that I better not scratch this thing.

I wonder if they would let me drive it.

Reporting live from Springfield…
