I know landfall is the focus right now for many. But this has my attention big time. Surge maps for the Tampa Bay area are some of the highest I have seen. Almost double from Idalia and Eta. My hometown of Oldsmar doesn't look good if this verifies. Pinellas coastal areas the same. Something to watch and be aware of. Don't want to scare trust me but I had to post this. Obviously numbers will be high near landfall too. https://t.co/0EQMEw6Iu0

Touching moment here at #IACC2024 as we remember the incredible Gretta Fenner @BaselInstitute, a "north star" in the battle against corruption & recall 3 lessons from her work: 1) optimism; 2) building alliances; 3) keeping it human & explaining the impact on scarce resources.
#ICAC 2024 @NormHodne@Microsoft talking tech for integrity. "Where's your data?" is #1 challenge in improving analytics & AI use by govs. Data almost always fragmented & in silos; cultural change to think different around future collection & use also important.

➡️But, international cooperation is found to be an important cornerstone to drive...
