Through the DYRS Retribution Program, our young people earned their OSHA 30 certification and are helping to upgrade their community, proving that second chances can lay a foundation for something extraordinary. That is what transformation looks like!

[Deputy Mayor Lindsey Appiah @SafeDC]

Thank you to the young women from @DYRSDC New Beginnings - they worked together, along with their staff, to produce a 30 minute program of dance, poetry, and song. It was an amazing demonstration of community, collaboration, and resilience.

🚨 The National Weather Service has issued a Tornado Watch in the District of Columbia until 7PM today, 3/16.

A Tornado Watch means that tornadoes are possible in the area.

Very strong and dangerous winds may cause downed trees/branches, localized power outages, and damage to homes and buildings.

BEFORE A TORNADO:
- Secure loose outdoor objects like trash cans, outdoor furniture, and other items that could become dangerous flying debris during a tornado.
- Charge your phone and other communication, medical, or assistive devices in case of a power outage.
- Identify a safe space to shelter if a Tornado Warning is issued.

Visit https://t.co/Si13xWFDI4 for more safety tips.

DURING A TORNADO:
- Go to the nearest sturdy building if you are outside or in a vehicle.
- Move to an interior room on the lowest floor if possible. STAY AWAY from windows.
