It would be great if we could get folks to do a program exit interview, but include all of their past history, knowledge, and a program summary.

A key aspect of any program is having a process for any sort of turnover. Good to have for an EM program!

Thankful for Twin Cities Meteorological Society AMS/NWA Chapter for inviting me to host a virtual presentation to chat more about emergency management and how weather plays a vital role! ❤️

THANK YOU FOR THE STICKERS! 🤩

Have you heard of PRACADEMIC AFFAIRS?!?!
This is so excited. I am excited to read and maybe shoot to push for some publications.

I can't speak on the quality yet - but we need more journals like this! LOVE THIS! www.hstoday.us/pracademics/

When you find it, it makes you never want to stop pursuing a solution ❤️
And never wanting to stop talking about the need to fix it ❤️

Flood risk is changing faster than our maps. 🌊 State EM agencies need decision-ready intelligence—not just static visuals. Join NEMA's EMpowerment webinar to learn how high-resolution flood data and modeling can support prep, response decisions statewide. zurl.co/D0S4e

#AMS2026 is different this year (and I am sad to not be there in person!)

But today we celebrate the FIRST EVER EM and Disaster Symposium track at AMS! Session 1 is below.'

This year, I've seen more EMs present and attend! We are combining the worlds of meteorology with EM!

MORE STUDENT PRESENTERS!

If you are a student, please submit! We want to hear your work!
We are always impressed by, and appreciative of, student presentations at #AMS2026! The future of our field is so bright!
Check out this fascinating talk by UIUC student Alyssa Shih on the global differences between the formation of mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) over land, ocean, and coastal regions!

Good grief: According to research from Brenda Philips, info in flash flood warnings don’t necessarily influence people’s response and reaction during a flood. It’s their immediate situation and circumstance and the pre-event warning information. This is incredibly challenging. #AMS2026

just a reminder: if fire hydrants near where you live are buried in snow after this week’s storms, it’s a mitzvah (and a gooooood workout!) to dig out around that hydrant so fire crews can get to it faster if need be.

Always incredible to hear James Spann speak! He’s never afraid to tell you how it is and he won’t sugar coat! #AMS2026

James @spann.bsky.social said something important that needs to be echoed

Go to schools. He goes every day and teaches science to them. They are our next generation

My advice: get out of your comfort zone and ivory tower and communicate your work to everyone. Even if bosses say no #AMS2026
AAAAAH IM SO TORN RIGHT NOW

Do I watch @spann.bsky.social talk about the future of meteorology or do I watch a @nws.noaa.gov SPC talk about severe weather climatologies?

Trying to do both! #AMS2026
