The NWS divides forecast areas into specific geographic regions. Knowing these boundaries helps you better understand weather products and discussions relevant to your area. See which region you call home!

[JEMS - EMS @jemsconnect]

Prehospital airway care shouldn’t be about earning a badge. New research from 2024 and 2025 shows supraglottic airways often match or outperform ETI in cardiac arrest and trauma because they’re faster and cause fewer complications. Pick the tool for the patient, not the patch.

Sometimes the weather is complicated. This is a quick explanation of only a small part of what we take into consideration for today...

Not severe, but still mesmerizing! Storm chasers Paige Berdomas and Bryce Shelton captured this view of a thunderstorm near the Alabama/Georgia border moments ago.

There will be a favorable window over the next couple of hours for some tornadic supercells across Central #alwx mainly near and south of the I-20 corridor as increasing low level heating & moistening (contributes to CAPE) overlaps with some remnant strong low level shear...

First words from our new Development Editor: a call to kill the “just” mindset in EMS and chart a new path for JEMS.
“I’m just an EMT.” “I’m just a firefighter.” That stops here. The system is under strain, calls are more complex, and excellence isn’t optional—it’s required.

@NTSB_Newsroom Oh how soon we forgot about the Twitter files. Arent you a government agency? Why are you outsourcing to a private media company. Post the notices on your Government web page and direct people there.

🚨 #BREAKING: At least 50 patients and staff are trapped on the roof of Unicoi County Hospital in Tennessee

This is terrifying.

Emergency crews attempted to evacuate people by ambulance and boats, but the water began rising way too quickly and and is moving too rapidly to extract people safely, forcing them up on the roof.

The National Guard is deploying to assist. Pray for these people.

Invest 97L will become the next named storm as it moves into the Gulf of Mexico this week. Here are the 12z Euro & GFS ensembles. Good agreement on a hurricane making landfall between Mobile, AL, and Cedar Key, FL. Please continue watching if you have interests in these areas!

//The Wire//0030Z July 14, 2024//
//PRIORITY//
//BLUF: FOLLOW ON REPORTING CLARIFIES DETAILS OF TRUMP SHOOTING. NO MAJOR I&W’S YET OF STRATEGIC CONCERN FOLLOWING THE SHOOTING.//
-----BEGIN TEARLINE-----
-HomeFront-
Pennsylvania: President Trump remains under medical evaluation following his assassination attempt this afternoon. Authorities have not commented on his condition other than to confirm that he suffered non-life threatening wounds as a result of the assassination attempt.
News footage following the incident indicates at least two people in the crowd were wounded by the shooter, one of which who has succumbed to their wounds. The surviving bystander remains in critical condition. Users on social media have posted footage of a body lying on the rooftop of a small shelter adjacent to the event venue, indicating the shooter sought and successfully occupied a vantage point that served as key terrain and offered line of sight to the stage.
-Strategic Indications and Warnings-
Pacific: The USCG has not provided any update in some time regarding the position of the Chinese PLAN Task Force currently operating in the Bering Sea. By last press release, the vessels were conducting maneuvers approximately 100nm north of the Aleutian Island chain, but that report is now stale by several days.
Homeland: NORAD has not provided any information regarding potential aerial threats within the past few hours, nor has the FAA issued any potentially concerning TFRs or airspace closures. HFGCS and BearNet traffic appears normal at this time. No sudden or concerning increase in military aviation has been noted within the past few hours.
-----END TEARLINE-----
Analyst Comments: Substantial efforts have been noted to manipulate the flow of information on social media following this incident, with the production of falsified information, along with the traffic from bots, being unlike any time period in recent memory. Some social media platforms are barely usable due to the intense posting by bots and those seeking to shape the narrative alike. Exceptionally violet rhetoric has been noted on social media following the attempted assassination of President Trump. This rhetoric includes mainstream media sources, which have sought to downplay the incident.
In the fray of the information space, minute details, however unorganized are important to consider (or at least log) for later corroboration. As such, the following data points are being noted for posterity, without being verified with any confidence:
- A BBC interview with a man immediately following the incident indicates that the shooter may have been spotted approaching the venue long before the shots were fired. This witness suggests that the Secret Service had some limited advanced warning of the attack.
Analyst: S2A1
