Dear general public: Stop being mean to the National Weather Service, State/Local government public safety, and news reporters.
When “breaking news” occurs pertaining to safety, please adhere to the warnings put forth by the official sources.
Again, stop being mean!
Most reporters are generally nice and they want to report the facts.
For your protection, heed all safety warnings from official sources.
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.
