Again, it’s all so dangerous. He needs to spend some time in the Army’s Criminal Investigation Division’s file room (my work home for several months in… 2008/2009).

From one city worker to another, bravo!!! Putting the service back in public servant!!!

Yesterday a friend at work brought me a cookie and flowers after a 🙇🏼‍♀️ week. Unexpected kindness is the sweetest and most delicious surprise. 💛

Happy Tsunami Preparedness Week! 🌊 Thanks to @caloes.bsky.social and @cageosurvey.bsky.social for all they do to support local EMs!!

Joyful convos about FEMA yesterday. 😖
1. Simple grant Scope of Work mod taking +8 mo for fed review. We’ll likely have to forfeit funding.
2. New LHMP won’t be approved till DHS reopens.
3. PA staffer requested an urgent recommendation letter.

Screenshot of weather.gov website featuring local weather report for Los Angeles. Sunny today, rain on Sunday - Monday, listed as Washington’s Birthday.

So two questions
1) Has weather.gov always listed holidays or presidents’ birthdays on the extended forecast?

22… but also shellfish allergy.

Thanks for repping EM! Stay warm, NYC! 🩵

Lesson Learned: 3.75 year old with raisins + 10 month old Labrador = no bueno. Good news is we caught #CaptainCrunch early, he’s a big dude which helps, and he’s done well at the vet.

Another reason why FEMA should never be part of DHS.
