Threatening voters with physical or financial harm to force them to vote for certain candidates is illegal. If someone threatens you or if you suspect a federal election crime, contact your local FBI office, or submit a tip at https://t.co/iL7sD5efWD. https://t.co/TgN9Rs4lMN

In 1962, President John F. Kennedy signed a proclamation designating May 15th as #PeaceOfficersMemorialDay. Thank you to all law enforcement agencies around the nation as we continue to #honor the #valor of all officers and agents that protect and serve during #NationalPoliceWeek

Although we had to cancel #NLE2020 due to the #coronavirus pandemic, I hope the planning we did together, and the lead-up #preparedness events we held, helped organizations better prepare for the response to #COVID19 and for whatever threats or hazards may come next. #resilience

[Alexander Yesnik @ayesnik]

Today would have been #ENDEX of #NLE2020. Although the scenario was going to be a #cyberattack, the core focus was a complex, nontraditional #disaster with nationwide impacts where @FEMA was not initially the lead agency but escalated to a nat'l emergency. https://t.co/aJsptAugZg

Great partnership between @fema’s National Exercise Division and National Continuity Programs to get this done! #COVID19 #Reconstitution

[FEMA @fema]

We developed an exercise starter kit to help organizations & gov’t agencies plan to safely resume full operations during #COVID19. This toolkit includes discussion questions to help your team kick-start operations when the time is right.

We developed an exercise starter kit to help organizations & gov't agencies host their own workshops to plan for the complexities of resuming full operations after #COVID19. You can tailor a facilitator guide and sample slides to meet your own needs: https://t.co/h07VRw7iNZ

Thanks, @FEMA_Pete for speaking at our town hall today on the importance of recruiting and retaining great people and always demonstrating our core agency values. @fema is a great place to work! Interested? Learn more at https://t.co/C0V3mn2TC4 #fema #careers #emergencymanagement

[ARCHIVED: Deanne Criswell @FEMA_Deanne]

We said goodbye to two distinguished leaders and incredible members of the @fema family this month as they move on to new opportunities. Jeff and @FEMA_Dan, thanks for your friendship, leadership and service to the American people!

[Acting Secretary Chad Wolf @DHS_Wolf]

While the @CDC is leading gov efforts on the Coronavirus, @DHSgov is taking prudent & necessary precautions at @TSA @CBP @FEMA @USCG @DHScwmd & other components to keep our employees & the homeland safe & secure. For info on the coronavirus visit the CDC https://t.co/gQKUFGCcU9

Earlier this month, @fema hosted an important planning meeting on #NLE2020 with federal and state homeland security partners. Tomorrow, we begin scripting injects to flesh out how this large #cybersecurity and #poweroutage exercise will unfold. Learn more: https://t.co/aJsptAugZg

[Alexander Yesnik @ayesnik]

Very appreciative that I had the opportunity to present to such a great group on how @fema is using #NLE2020 to help build a culture of cyber preparedness and examine the nation’s readiness for the complex threats we face today—in partnership with @CISAgov. #NHSC

FEMA briefing NHSC on themes for National Level Exercise 2020

[Alexander Yesnik @ayesnik]

Earlier today, I had the opportunity to share information on #NLE2020 at a meeting of the National Homeland Security Consortium in Little Rock, AR. Exercises like the NLE are so important to examine our national readiness for the threats America faces today! #NHSC @NEMA_web

[Alexander Yesnik @ayesnik]

Visited @nhfstems today for a regional planning meeting for #BinaryBlackout, an important part of #NLE2020 that will examine cyber-induced power outages. Good discussions with @MassEMA @CTDEMHS @MaineEMA @RhodeIslandEMA @NH_HSEM & @vemvt—and thanks to @femaregion1 for organizing!
