SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNING: A severe weather warning has been issued for Eastern Eyre Peninsula, Yorke Peninsula, Mid North, and the Flinders districts >> https://hubs.la/Q02TnSLz0

As Los Angeles continues to respond to the immediate aftermath of the firestorm, conversations will continue about how to improve threat communication to communities. This Axios story provides one perspective, discussing the applicability of National Weather Service watches/warnings but fails to understand their appropriate role. Local officials are ultimately charged with issuing evacuation orders, informing the public when threat levels increase, issuing pre-evacuation and go orders when necessary and managing the information about local shelter and recovery resources. California's "Ready, Set, Go!" wildfire evacuation messaging is a good example of taking a complex forecast with significant variability and turning it into an easy-to-understand, actionable message. After this response is over, I hope the emergency management community will take a moment to evaluate what works best in messaging, mediums, and delivery to ensure that we can get more accurate, timely and actionable warnings to the public, when literal seconds count. #emergencymanagement #weather #cawx #losangelesfires #lafires

These warnings are critical to reducing wildfire threats and protecting our communities. 🚩 What can you do? ✅ Stay informed: Check daily for Red Flag Warnings from the National Weather Service here: https://lnkd.in/gxYJJfy6 ✅ Take action: 1.

When it Comes to Wildfire - We All Have a Role in Prevention The CalFire incident dashboard for 2024 is off to a hot start. 18 active wildfires across the state of California, with Napa County's #tollfire at 80% containment. Recent weather conditions show us, that this year calls for vigilant monitoring and preparedness. While Napa Firewise works behind the scenes on fuel reduction which can aid in firefighting, we can't acknowledge enough how critical the preparedness and response from our first responders was this last week. Throughout last week's red flag warning, fire stations across the county upstaffed to prepare for response if needed. Their quick response by ground and air minimized the impacts from these fires. As property owners and residents, we must all take responsibility in maintaining our properties, avoiding activities that can ignite fire during critical weather, and stay vigilant.
