We're on Capitol Hill this morning with @CleanAirMoms and CAC partners from across the country to remind Congress to #StandStrongForClimate - keep your eyes peeled for our blue and orange scarves on the Hill today! 💙🌎🧡

Our nation’s ability to live healthier, longer lives rests on our commitment to supporting public health initiatives and the individuals who carry them out. CDC recognizes Public Health Thank You Day as an opportunity to express gratitude and show support to the #PublicHealth workforce.

Fantastic webinar from @ASPPHtweets about how we continue forward in #publichealth. Key takeaways are pursuing #bipartisan opportunities, encouraging #advocacy at all levels, and that public health is political but nonpartisan. Highly recommend! https://t.co/b4GkV6ff4h

A strong rule on #heat protection is critical for public health in an era of #climatechange. Take action now! https://t.co/McG4S4hrnQ

If we’re not going back
And they’re not moving
Forward then we will
Stretch the bubble of time
In both directions until
It bursts, and then we
Will meet in that field
That Rumi talks about,
Lay down in it, and try
To remember what it
Always meant to be kin.

[FEMA @fema]

If you’ve been ordered to evacuate ahead of #Milton, leave NOW. Life-threatening storm surge and catastrophic flooding are expected. Gather essentials and go NOW—don’t wait for the storm to hit. Your life and the lives of your loved ones depend on it.

[ARCHIVED - NASA Climate @NASAClimate]

Warm ocean waters due to human-caused climate change helped fuel Hurricane #Milton to become a powerful Category 5 storm.

Sea surface temperatures in the Gulf of Mexico were well above average for this time of year as Milton churned toward Florida. https://t.co/p4WvGdpcWE
