Our director participated in a vital meeting with CIWRO where they discussed forecast and weather information utilized in preparation of wildfire season.

CIWRO gathers feedback from the emergency management and private broadcast sectors about U.S. National Weather Service (NWS) forecast and warning products. For instance, researchers designed and distributed an Oklahoma-wide survey with US National Weather Service Norman Oklahoma and Oklahoma Forestry Services to learn how emergency managers use weather information to prepare for dangerous wildfires. CIWRO scientists also ask questions about what weather information they need and if current products are meeting their needs.

The Region 3 MERC, along with several of our emergency management partners, participated in an exercise at the Fort Cobb dam today. Participating was essential for strengthening emergency preparedness and response. It provided an opportunity to test plans, improve decision-making, and identify areas for improvement in a controlled environment. Engaging with partner agencies is especially valuable, as it enhances inter-agency coordination, clarifies roles and responsibilities, and fosters effective communication. These joint efforts ensure a more efficient and unified response during a real incident, ultimately helping to safeguard lives, property, and critical infrastructure.

Our cordinator was nominated and chosen as the MRC District 5 Volunteer of the year. Here what the nomination said:

Lizzy Woods is working on her third year as an Oklahoma Medical Reserve Corps volunteer, and there is no limit to her passion in the MRC program. Lizzy has responded and volunteered at every major deployment and brings with her an internal joy that is infectious and touches each person she comes in contact with. She is a former EMT and assists the medical team with standard first aid care. Lizzy has volunteered in 3 Open Streets event and has demonstrated hands on CPR to children and adults with unbelievable patience. During a recent lull of attendees, she organized a volunteer foot race in the street that had us all rolling with laughter. Lizzy is exactly the type of person you need on your MRC Team. She arrives early and stays late at events. She has learned to make balloon animals to draw families in to hear our preparedness messages. She never hesitates to complete whatever task is asked of her.
The most commendable part of Lizzy's contributions is that in addition to her 100 plus hours of volunteer work this past year, she maintains a high-stress full-time job. Ms. Woods assures us her MRC volunteer work provides her an opportunity to reconnect and obtain a balance in her life.
Unit 33 is so lucky and blessed to have Lizzy on the team.
