On my own (for now), I am working on my 4th article as we speak. I'm hoping to get a draft soon. #Scicomm #WxSky #EMGSky

I have put thousands of hours of work into my #tornado shelter map over the past 3 years, and I know it has saved lives (based on testimonials). I never imagined this when I started it. I appreciate so much the support from everyone. #EMGsky #WXsky #AcademicSky

100 Dizzying Days for FEMA - by @andrewrumbach.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/andrewru...

FEMA has needed reform for ages. 2. Trump’s assault is the antithesis of reform. 3. Good news here is that a bipartisan FEMA bill is taking shape. #emg #emgsky #fema #disasterrisk 1/

and numbers to places like Walmarts EOC & other logistic resources, shelters, & more.

Landry moves emergency preparedness office under Louisiana National Guard • Louisiana Illuminator Gov. Jeff Landry is restructuring the state’s disaster response office and folding it into the Louisiana National Guard.

Curious what peoples thoughts are on this #emgsky #graysky #greysky

I came up with several draft logos today. Here's one that is being considered but I want more ideas. (I already tweaked it from the original - changed raindrops to a tornado shelter) #EMGsky #WxSky

Writing an abstract now for #NWAS25. Since it is in Huntsville, AL, I have decided to make it on the #tornado shelters that exist in the area, and using it as a case study for other regions. #WRN #EMGSky #WxSky @nwas.org

Abolishing FEMA would hurt all Americans—particularly Trump voters Instead of abolishing the agency, US President Donald Trump should support fixing its problems, making it more efficient, and changing its focus to include strategic resilience.

1️⃣9️⃣ We cannot let this happen.

📢 Congress must act NOW.

I'm working on several additional sales and people showing interest in my #tornado shelter map for licensing.

With spring coming, you can provide it for your users, either locally or nationally, so they have the resource too. Send me a response or message and I can get you started. #EMGSky #WxSky

Remember the Rolling Fork, MS #tornado in 2023?

Storm-GPS identified the track through its direct corridors with over 15 minutes advance warning. Right down to a tee. That additional warning could save many lives.

You should try the system yourself - I can help in setting you up. #EMGSky #WxSky

Just read a fascinating article on the successful emergency response of the Getty Villa which sat in the middle of the Palisades Fire. Yes, even museums have an EOC! Amazing to read preventive efforts taken over time and their level of preparedness. #GreySky #EMGSky

When a Killer Tornado Destroyed a Sprawling Factory and Nobody Died - Lessons for Amazon As wreckage is scoured & victims mourned, big-box businesses in tornado country would do well to follow the example of a company that was destroyed in 2004 but lost no one & built back even better.
