This is real life. Last month I led a @FEMA L0105 Basic Public Information Officer training that concluded with a storm and flooding scenario. In that scenario, this log-clearing equipment was broken, leading to the closure of the interstate freeway and a major state highway. Scenarios like this help us train for how to respond, and with whom we need to work, in real disasters. #professionaldevelopment #training #emergencymanagement #PIOLife

Hope you all stay safe during the severe weather that Beryl is bringing. Proper gas detection during a hurricane is crucial for chemical plants to ensure the safety of personnel, the surrounding community, and the environment. Hurricanes can cause structural damage, leading to leaks or releases of hazardous gases. Early detection allows for prompt response measures to mitigate risks, such as evacuations, containment, and shutdown procedures. Without effective gas detection, the likelihood of undetected leaks increases, potentially resulting in severe health hazards, fires, explosions, and long-term environmental contamination.#hurricanesafety #gasdetection #accusense
