Take a bite out of worrying.
Don’t forget to pack games for your kids. It will help occupy time as you are stuck in traffic or waiting for stuff to happen.
Additionally, simple games like this could help adults pass the time…and yes, I just transported you back to your youth.
Also gives you approval to give advice on love, career decisions, etc…

Extra hot temperatures means we must be cognizant of #heat related issues.
Look back for the #kiddos and #doggos
Since it’s quiet in the office today, I’ve been assessing a few new kid preparedness and teaching tools.
Do you think Melissa has one on “Hurricane Warning” too?
Teach your kids about being safe and heeding all warnings from your local National Weather Service (NWS) office, Emergency Management officials, and public safety professionals.

These are the kinds of details will help enhance your current plans.
Now you are probably wondering why I said to write them down (hard copy). If you lose power to your cell phone, or worse yet, you lose your cell phone during evacuation – you won’t have your programmed address book to reference with all the important contact information and cell phone numbers.
Create your family communications plan now.
More forms can be found on Ready.Gov.

Instead of the standard public safety vs media fight, do you want to see two social media pros live tweet how Christmas in Cleveland gets saved?
Sur and Steer: Telling the live story on how someone special saves Christmas.
Follow along with me on Twitter: @CLEPolice or Facebook: ClevelandPolice
Or tune in with Jen on Fox 8 news (WYW-TV) for live breaking news or on Twitter or Facebook.
Breaking news: YikYak now allows pictures!
For those that have not used it, YikYak is a social media mobile app on iOS and Android that allows people to anonymously create and view posts (aka Yaks) within a close proximity of the user. The Yaks that are posted can be voted up or down by other users which will propel them higher on the list of conversational threads. Many college and local high school kids are using this app as a virtual/digital message/corkboard.
Soooooo, is that a good thing or bad thing?
I bet you are thinking YikYak is all just fun petty stuff. But before you think it’s all just a playful game, think about the potential of menacing/bullying. Now think about it from the law enforcement side where we need to track anonymously posted information for evidence.
Ride the Yak.
Time is valuable, so Yak good stuff.
It’s midweek in the fourth week of 2014 National Preparedness Month
“Be Disaster Aware, Take Action to Prepare”
Wacky Wednesday continues!
This week’s theme is consistent with FEMA’s National Preparedness Campaign: Practice for an emergency
#24: Does your kid have it? Prepared for any emergency? Can they all be a Ready Big Hero? #Prepared2014 #NatlPrep
Make sure all of your family is prepared for any emergency or disaster.
Make sure they prepare with you and run family drills because that’s real hero stuff.
Your kid can be a Ready – Big Hero too!
