This National Preparedness Month, S&T’s Kathryn Coulter Mitchell urges everyone to make emergency plans for their family so we can most effectively handle whatever challenges come our way. bit.ly/3DGjUbx #BeReady
Some folks have asked me, "Why should we be concerned about policy?"
The reason is that policy defines actions and priorities!
This is a serious and important topic. Don't forget to sign up and attend today's webinar.

Aloe there!
Just here to leaf a quick reminder that when the ground shakes, the best way to stay safe is to Drop, Cover, and Hold On under something sturdy!
Then plant yourself there until the shaking stops!
ALT A green Aloe Vera plant in a green pot, under a sturdy wooden table. A couple of the plants leaves are reaching around the legs of the table, as if it is holding on.
REMINDER!
This will be a fantastic webinar and it's tomorrow. Sign up now!
I'm told, "either be there or be square!"

Copernicus #Sentinel2 imagery reveals extensive #landslides near the fault rupture of yesterday's M7.2 #earthquake in western #Haiti. Comparison with previous (Aug 9) image.

What a difference a decade makes. Dedicated earthquake professionals in Haiti now operate a local seismic network that gives us a view of aftershocks down to M3s. The jury is out on direction of rupture, but aftershocks sure suggest mostly unilateral to the west.

Large earthquakes in Alaska are common. Last night's quake was on the same subduction zone that hosted the 2nd largest eq (M9.2) recorded on modern instrumentation in March 1964. If you haven’t seen it yet, check out the story about the 1964 earthquake. ow.ly/shNB50FG9Rp

If you have damage to report, please contact your local emergency manager or relay to your local National Weather Service office.
Remember, strong currents may remain a danger for several hours after unusual waves appear to settle.
