Public safety doesn’t happen in silos.

From law enforcement and fire to EMS, emergency management, transportation, and our many partners, the Birthplace of Route 66 Festival is a great example of public safety integration in action.

Behind every successful event is a team working together, communicating, planning, and preparing to keep our community safe ❤️

08/19/2026

Rounds of thunderstorms this morning and again this afternoon and evening will affect the area, with a Marginal (1 of 5) to Slight (2 of 5) risk for severe storms both rounds.

🚨 You don’t get better at emergencies by waiting for one to happen.

Training and exercises give us the opportunity to practice, test plans, identify gaps, and (most importantly) build relationships before they’re needed.

A huge shoutout to our Training & Exercise Specialist, Josh, for the time, creativity, and behind-the-scenes work that goes into developing exercises like this airport tabletop.

And to all of our local partners who dedicate their time and expertise to participate: thank you. Your willingness to step away from the day-to-day and practice together makes our entire community more resilient.

This is emergency management (even when there’s no emergency).
