Well, my days are numbered here in Wichita Falls & Texas This week I accepted an incredible opportunity to be the Emergency Management Coordinator for the Village of Ruidoso, New Mexico. #NewMexico

After a wildfire, burned soil can repel water. As a result, less rainfall is required for flash flooding in areas where wildfires have recently burned.

If you live in one of these areas, and heavy rain is in the forecast, plan in advance and move away from the area.

Today I had the opportunity to brief @Sec_Noem on the ongoing impacts of post-burn scar flooding here in Ruidoso. We have been working closely with @NMDHSEM and @fema on disaster efforts as we navigate intermittent responses amongst recovery.

[Special Envoy Kristi Noem @EnvoyNoem]

I spent the morning in Ruidoso, New Mexico, to meet with community leaders and those impacted by this summer’s devastating floods.

@DHSgov and @FEMA have been working closely with state and local partners to deliver $3.1M in upfront aid and deploy +160 staff who remain in the area. Thanks to @POTUS Trump’s disaster declaration, an additional $2.9M has been unlocked to help families rebuild. Today, another $11.4M was announced for four more disaster recovery projects.

Under the Trump Administration, FEMA is faster and more responsive than ever. We’re seeing that in Ruidoso, and we will stand with New Mexico until full recovery is achieved.

Make no mistake! Predicting the future is hard! Weather forecasting is too!

The science of meteorology lets us assess the atmosphere & how it will evolve over the next few hours & days. Signals in data let us know when changes in the atmosphere might take place. #NMwx

Strong wind gusts will continue tonight and into tomorrow, which will lead to areas of blowing dust, and continued critical fire weather conditions for eastern NM. Gusty winds and snowfall will create blizzard conditions early tomorrow morning in far northeastern NM.

🔥Wildfire Math: Simple Equation, Complex Consequences

A wildfire starts with a simple formula: Spark + Fuel + Oxygen = Fire × Weather Conditions.

But the impact? Massive. High winds spread flames. Dry conditions fuel destruction.

Stay prepared. Stay informed. Prevent the spark. #WildfireSafety #FirePrevention #StaySafe

[NWS Storm Prediction Center @NWSSPC]

Here is an update on the Extremely Critical fire weather conditions expected tomorrow, 3/4/2025, across portions of Texas. More info: https://t.co/QMmU4tCxt1

[Eric Queller @ericqueller]

#Ruidoso, stay #emberaware over the next few days as we have critical fire weather in the area.

Remember, Ready, Set, Go! Have a plan and stock up on emergency supplies.

[NWS Storm Prediction Center @NWSSPC]

Along with the risk for severe weather this weekend/next week, significant fire-weather appears likely. A strong dryline will support extremely dry and windy conditions over NM, TX and OK Sunday through Tuesday. Dangerous fire-weather conditions likely. https://t.co/QMmU4tCxt1

Investing in the NWS is not just a cost, it's an investment in the safety and well-being of our citizens. Accurate forecasts and timely warnings save lives, prevent property damage, and minimize economic disruptions.

[Eric Queller @ericqueller]

@Rep_Stansbury Accurate and timely forecasts are more crucial than ever. The NWS serves as the backbone of our preparedness efforts. Their dedicated professionals provide life-saving forecasts & warnings, enabling me to make informed decisions & activate emergency response plans.

[Zach Stanford @zachstanford]

Today, @FCC announced new rules for cell carriers to enable public safety alerting authorities to issue silent Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEAs). This will likely save lives in times when making any noise is dangerous, like in an active shooter situation. #EMGTwitter

Idk who needs to hear this but science and data don’t care about your feelings!

[Jim Cantore @JimCantore]

This is so perfectly written and I'm 100 percent in agreement with @spann regarding the invaluable service that NWS and NOAA provide on an hourly basis. Collectively they are one of, if not the best bang for your taxpayer buck out there.

IAEM understands that emergency managers need the Association and its resources the most during times of crisis.

To support federal emergency managers impacted by the recent changes, we are implementing five measures to help:
