A spotty shower this morning will give way to partly sunny skies. Gradually drier and less humid headed into Saturday, which will be sunny, cool, and dry. Storms will return, along with the humidity, Sunday afternoon into Monday.

There is no off-season for emergency management.

When one season ends, another begins. As hazards change throughout the year, so do the priorities. Plans are reviewed, exercises are conducted, partnerships are strengthened, and lessons learned are put into practice. The work continues because preparedness isn't something that starts when an emergency is approaching. It's built over time.

That's why emergency management is a year-round profession.

Emergency managers: What's one priority you're focused on this time of year? Share it in the comments and help others better understand what year-round emergency management looks like.

National Night Out 2026 is here!

The Philadelphia Police Department is proud to join communities across the city for National Night Out — an annual celebration that brings police officers, residents and neighborhood partners together to build trust, strengthen relationships and promote safer communities.

These family-friendly events are a great opportunity to meet the officers and commanders who serve your neighborhood, connect with your neighbors and enjoy block parties, cookouts, music, games and community resources.

Police Commissioner Kevin J. Bethel and members of the PPD command staff will also visit events throughout the city during the evening.

National Night Out was founded in the Philadelphia region in 1984 by Matt Peskin and has grown into a nationwide celebration observed by thousands of communities across all 50 states.

A positive and trusting relationship between police and the people we serve is essential to building safer, stronger neighborhoods — and that work continues throughout the entire year.
