Meet Burnell Cotlon owner of the lower 9 Market. He has the only grocery in area since #Katrina. He sells fresh fruit, po-boys & more. He also has the only laundromat & Internet cafe, plus he has a barber. You want something, you go see Burnell. @wdsu

This week is “National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week." The NOFD would like to recognize and thank our communications staff and our public safety partners at the Orleans Parish Communications District (OPCD) who are crucial in connecting the public with emergency services.

[OPCD911 @opcd911]

Both year-round & during this National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week, we are so proud to support & work alongside the New Orleans Police Department in helping to keep our community safe. Some very nice thoughts from NOPD Superintendent Kirkpatrick:

An internal Social Security Administration memo, dated March 13, lays out a plan to sabotage the agency.

The memo itself predicts "service disruption," "operational strain," and "budget shortfalls" will result.

Follow this thread for details.
