On any given day, approximately 50,000 traffic incident responders work roadside to restore safe travel after traffic incidents such as crashes or spilled cargo. Stay alert for traffic incidents and especially incident responders. During Crash Responder Safety Week, check out these short videos that illustrate key safety practices when responding to roadway incidents. https://bit.ly/3010fnB #CRSW

Today's Warn Room post 🚨 asks alerting authorities to consider their use of WEA for everyday events, like road closures. This is a topic that I see frequently included by a few states during "blue sky days" and I wonder how these messages affect public perception and understanding of Wireless Emergency Alerts 🚨. Don't get me wrong - sometimes sending a WEA for a traffic event seems like the best way to alert a lot of people about a really dangerous situation; these include dust storm, ice, or blizzard conditions which can result in car pile ups or stranded drivers. I'm actually really hopeful that in the near future, new technologies like those being developed by Cory James Hohs and HAAS Alert are going to lead to in-vehicle messages going ONLY to those on the road or in danger. But until then, I raise the question "what about those road closure messages?" Take a look at the blog below, and let me know what you think? Can we do better?

Miami Tunnel personnel's role in identifying hazardous materials is crucial in keeping the tunnel safe in a toxic spill emergency. ☢️ That's why we participated in a hazardous spill simulation with the hazmat team and local responders, who have expert training to recognize certain placards indicating the transportation of toxic or hazardous materials. Miami Tunnel doesn’t allow cargo trucks to carry hazardous materials through the tunnel, but we believe we’re better safe than sorry. By learning the steps to take after identifying hazardous materials, we can quickly alert emergency responders of the incident. We're proud of our work together to keep our community out of harm's way! #MiamiTunnel #SafetyPreparedness #SafetyFirst #HazmatSimulation #EmergencyResponders
