Emergency managers & local officials - here is one example of how to make training relevant to your community. This week, FEMA's Emergency Management Institute is offering its Integrated Emergency Management Course, a 4 day exercise-based training activity that places policy groups and Emergency Operations Center personnel under realistic crisis situations within a structured learning environment.
We asked one of the participants, Melanie Hanns, Director of University Public Relations at Embry-Riddle University, about what she'd bring back to her community after the training:
"Anyone in public information or community service is used to an onslaught of acronyms, so JIC and JIS are nothing new. But some of the organizational structures were eye-openers and sure to be applicable to internal structures back home. Other valuable information learned today included how coordination and compliance of public records requests vary with public and private entities and how just one slight miscommunication can impact many."
To learn more about the course or see the next schedule of offerings, check out https://training.fema.gov/EMIWeb/IEMC/.

Confidence is increasing for a widespread major severe weather outbreak this afternoon into Thursday for the upper Ohio Valley into the central Appalachians and mid Atlantic regions. Strong thunderstorms are already developing along a warm front across the central Plains. These storms will continue to develop and move east into the Ohio Valley during the day. By late afternoon or evening, the storms are expected to organize into a squall line and may possibly grow into a derecho. Damaging winds, possibly in excess of 70 mph, and large hail will be the greatest threats, although a few tornadoes will also be possible, as will torrential downpours that could produce localized flash flooding. The squall line will move into the central Appalachians and possibly the mid Atlantic region overnight. While the storms are expected to be weakening during the overnight hours, severe weather will still be possible.
During Thursday, low pressure will intensify as it tracks eastward across PA and NJ and east of Long Island by Friday morning. To the north of the low track, more heavy rain is expected, causing significant rises on rivers and streams with some locations possibly rising above flood stage, especially where levels remain high from recent rains. Another round of flooding for urban and poor drainage areas can also be expected. Some gusty winds of 35 to 45 mph are expected across southern New England Thursday night into Friday. South of the low track and ahead of the cold front, severe thunderstorms are expected to develop once again Thursday across the mid Atlantic region. Damaging winds are again expected to be the primary threat, although large hail and a few tornadoes will again be possible.
Please prepare now an have an action plan ready should hazardous weather approach your area. Follow your local NWS forecast office on the web, facebook, and twitter for local details and the latest updates.
