Prepare for possible power outages this week due to various severe weather threats across the country. Be sure to:
• Get real-time weather updates with the FEMA App: fema.gov/app

If a winter storm is affecting your area, make sure you are prepared for potential power outages. Have your emergency supplies ready with a flashlight, blankets, & food. Keep your phones charged and have multiple ways of receiving alerts. Being #WinterReady means being informed!

In the wake of increasing natural disasters, reducing burdens for those evacuating to special needs shelters is crucial. Our latest article offers recommendations to ease administrative burdens. Thanks to @RatnaDough and @DrEcoclaire for all of their hard work on this article!
Bringing some levity to the day, we've got first publication of the year! @RebeccaEntress @DrEcoclaire and I looked at evacuation admin burdens for the special needs pop during Hurricane Irma, and unsurprisingly, psychological costs were most prevalent
