Working as a meteorologist can take you to some AMAZING places to meet some AWESOME people.Just spent the week at the National Interagency Fire Center training to support #NWSIMET who in turn deploy to support wildfire operations. #DressForSTEM #NWSIDSS

Meteorologists - If you aren't following along with the International Association of Emergency Managers Conference hashtag (#iaem18), you should...we can learn a lot from our partners.

“We can’t realize our mission of saving lives without you. We are all in on our partnership”... with the EM community. - Dr. Louis Uccellini @NWSDirector #NWSIDSS #iaem18

The @NWS National Water Model will provide street level water information to decision makers when they need it - Dr. Tom Graziano. Key partnerships in the hydro community make actionable flood decisions possible. #iaem18 #NWSIDSS

[Katie Edwards @WeAreIDSS]

Lt. Col. Chris Kelenske from @MichStatePolice opens #iaem18 by discussing the evolution of emergency management. @NWS and our core partners must evolve together to achieve our shared mission of saving lives and property! #WRN

[National Weather Service @NWS]

Scary-looking computer model runs on social media may be tempting to share, but take a moment to consider the source. Sharing info from reliable sources like the @NWSNHC, is just one way we can work together towards delivering the right message this hurricane season.

[National Weather Service @NWS]

This is a great point! Also, don't forget about #safePlaceSelfie on Wednesday, April 4th, and make your pets part of planning your safe place for a range of hazards!
