Today I was briefed by @fema & @RedCross on their preparedness education partnership & how to help our youth be ready to take action during a natural disaster. These resources & ed programs are vital for the safety of our children to help them prepare for an emergency.

El Niño officially declared today by @NOAA. The warming so far in the eastern Pacific is exceptional, and a strong El Niño by the hurricane season peak is almost a foregone conclusion. In today's newsletter, I dig deep into the latest hurricane outlook. ⬇️
