@ProPublica Most #ElectedOfficials do not understand:

- The fundamentals for #EmergencyManagement
- What a #disaster declaration does for their entity (local, state, or federal declarations)
- What #FEMA does beyond 'fixing things' and uninformed opinions from what they've read in 'media articles'
- What types and how much aid FEMA can provide
- What a 'damage assessment' means and is used for
- The expense of a functioning EM organization
- How reliant 99.999% of local, state, and national economies are dependant on this system through the interconnected disaster recovery process

Environment Canada is discontinuing its Weatheradio service on March 16th, after 50 years of VHF emergency weather radio broadcasts: https://www.canada.ca/en/environment-climate-change/services/weatheradio.html 😞

Weatheradio - Canada.ca

Need to be alerted when weather threatens? Or do you just want to hear the latest weather information for your area at any time of day or night, any day of the year? Environment Canada’s Weatheradio network broadcasts weather warnings and current observations and forecasts using the VHF public radio band, 24/7. Within range of more than 90 percent of the population, Weatheradio can be heard on special receivers and, in some areas, on ordinary AM/FM radio.
