FEMA Daily Situation Report

My January-February Eric's Corner was just submitted this past week with the topic of Emergency Operations Center (EOC) situation briefings.  You will have to wait another couple of months to read it, but when you do you'll see I advocate for knowing what is going on in the nation overall.

 

There is an easy way to find that out by subscribing to the Federal Emergency Management's (FEMA) daily Situation Report (SITREP)  There you get the round-up of news on weather and the status of ongoing disasters.    

 

Anyone can subscribe at FEMA Free Email Updates  There is a long list of different types of information you can obtain when items are published.  One that I think every emergency manager should be sure and get is the one listed as Situation Report  That way you'll get a sense for happenings here in the USA and how information is portrayed.
