The wind is aimed at us. Gas up your generators and prepare for travel difficulties and power outages, especially in the mountains. Sunday is the main event.

[NWS Bay Area 🌉 @NWSBayArea]

An impactful storm is on the way. Here's a look at timing for impacts Saturday through Tuesday. A big concern with this storm will be very strong winds near the coast especially on Sunday, resulting in likely downed trees and potential widespread power outages. #CAwx

The Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) is one of the prime examples of cooperative "shared governance" in emergency management (see May and Williams 1986). Programs like this are intended to promote a better intergovernmental emergency management system. (1/2)
