Today marks four years of living in Maryland, and three years since I began my career in Emergency Management. It’s been the best three years, and I’m so thankful for all the experiences I’ve had, and for all the memories made here in Annapolis. #justOEMthings

My top 3 *free* things to do ahead of time in hurricane season:
1) Check weather each morning
2) Make sure you know your neighbors & have their contact info -- they could be your 1st responders!
3) See if you live or work in a hurricane evac zone: https://t.co/hsvzpQBcZA #Dorian
