Are you checking out the solar eclipse?
Here’s another great quick video with numerous tips on safety for viewing the upcoming solar eclipse with one of my favorite NWS-Sacramento Meteorologist Brooke Bingaman.
Keep it safe while viewing the solar eclipse!
Weather looking a bit funky
The weather is about to get NAST!
I better turn on my NOAA National Weather Service Radio…
Rain drops are falling on my head…
I’m no meteorologist, but I think this is a bad sign when clouds look like this. #fugly
Tune into your local National Weather Service (NWS) Office for more details about weather in your specific area.
There are 122 of them. All staffed 24/7.
They provide info. For free.

Last day of #preparedness talks in Georgia in Glynn County
Another great day in Georgia talking about preparedness to various pros.
Special thanks to Glynn County (GA) EMA Director Jay Wiggins for hosting the class…
…and special thanks to Laura Ginn who coordinated efforts on behalf of everyone in City, County, and State of Georgia.
Glad to see so many participants here to learn but more importantly, share information and challenges and success stories they found within their community. Espically when it comes to senior care and supportive care – these issues need to be talked about openly and various members of family and staff need to be aware of challenges they may face when disaster strikes.
Aside from www.ready.gov program – there are a ton of other agencies to follow to ascertain great and trusted information.
- Glynn County Emergency Management Agency
- National Weather Service (NWS)
- Georgia Emergency Management Agency (GEMA)
- Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)
- National Disaster Preparedness Training Center (NDPTC)
Remember, a short time ago, this entire area was hit by Hurricane Matthew with MANDATORY evacuations.
Building these kinds of relationships before a disaster can only strengthen our efforts in response and recovery.
Plus, it’s super awesome to hang with like-minded individuals who are so dedicated to preparedness.
Be safe peeps!
Terrific to terrible weather in less than 24-hours
It’s still 2017 National Severe Weather Preparedness Week!
Despite the spectacular summer weather we are experiencing today in March, it is likely that conditions can rapidly change.
While we see this today…
…we might see this kind of weather in the next 24-hours.
While not fashionable, they provide some refuge and partial coverage in case I or my fellow PIOs get caught in some severe weather incident – we are somewhat protected.
And yes, having more than one is advisable as you likely have other family, friends, and/or people that might get wet too.
For more info on how you could better prepare yourself for severe weather, check out the list of preparedness stuff from my friend Jana and her team at Ready.Gov on a kit or an family communications plan.
Be safe and dry peeps!
Wipers on = Lights on! 2017 #National #Severe #Weather #Preparedness
2017 National Severe Weather Preparedness week.
As we start to experience more rain (April showers) – we need to constantly remind people – IF YOUR WIPERS ARE ON, TURN YOUR HEADLIGHTS ON!
Can you identify which vehicle doesn’t have their headlights on? Kinda hard to spot huh?
Despite daytime on a gloomy day, I think people just forget to turn their headlights on.
Consider using this safety meme whenever it rains.
Trust me, it’s free.
Every state is different so check your state and local laws. Or just turn them on whenever you turn your windshield wipers on.
More free severe weather safety tips this week…
