Clear communication is just as vital as physical infrastructure when extreme weather strikes. Start preparing your strategy now so your community remains informed, safe and resilient when a storm hits. 🌧️ With a potential Super El Niño on the horizon, public agencies don’t have to be caught off guard. Laying the groundwork today transforms a daunting weather forecast into a clear demonstration of proactive leadership.
