Today, we join the nation in commemorating Juneteenth. As we reflect on the struggles and triumphs of African Americans throughout history and celebrate their enduring contributions to our society, we also reaffirm our commitment to equity, justice, and inclusion in all we do.

NENA thanks FCC Chairwoman Rosenworcel for her strong support of #911Professionals. She issued a letter to OMB urging the reclassification of 9-1-1 telecommunicators as public safety professionals, emphasizing their critical role. #911SAVES ➡️ bit.ly/3vSWcK2

Tomorrow will start National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week for 2024.
This past week I had the honor of spending time with some of the 911 Heroes of North Carolina. I had so much fun teaching, learning about you, and also watching and listening to you learn about each other and yourselves.
Thank you for everything.
This coming week is meant to honor the amazing work of the most vital piece of public safety. I hope you all have a great week. We honor you during this time and every single day. Thank you for what you do!

The Call that Stuck with Me
There are 911 calls that stick with us. But it is my belief that when we are ready to share these calls, it’s therapeutic. There is power in storytelling. Sharing can also inspire others to feel comfortable to share as well. ❤️

Strong winds can turn tree branches and loose objects into dangerous projectiles.
Stay safe with tips from @NWS. ⤵️
ALT Straight line winds can exceed 100 mph and affect large areas. Strong winds can knock over semi-trucks, trees, and powerlines. Stay indoors away from windows. Avoid trees, power lines, and objects that could blow around. If driving, slow down and keep two hands on the wheel.

Plows need to get through
Especially after an inch or two
Help them be safe & neat
Keep your cars off the street
Check your local ordinance for snowfall parking restrictions.
