#ATTKentucky’s Barren River Area Development District is one of the five communities nationwide selected for AT&T’s Climate Resilient Communities Initiative, where we contributed $42,000 to help equip local leaders with the climate data they need. bit.ly/4f1LK3a

Huge win tonight over EKU! We think the new @WKUDisasterSci Topper Horn played a pivotal role!! #WKU

@WKUDisasterSci rented an entire theater so we could watch the new @Twistersmovie! So fun, go see it! It’s no @wkustormchase though 😎 #WKU

Up late last night and before sunrise today in @WKUDisasterSci DSOC to provide critical weather support for the @CherryBlossFest parade this morning. Strong forecast winds verified, leading to challenging decisions and we are here to serve our partners! #WKU #LearnByDoing

GREAT day at the #Kentucky EOC! Excited to announce the “@FirstNet Built with @ATT Scholarship Fund at @WKU” & watch the @WKUDisasterSci students participate in a disaster response simulation with @KentuckyEM! The future of #EmergencyManagement is in good hands! #ATTEmployee 💙🚨

This certainly was a great way to start our day! We look forward to the presentation this evening! #WKU

Proud to provide on-site weather monitoring and decision-support for the 45th and now world-record run of the Chicago Marathon!! #WKU

Our opening Meteorology Program meeting was quite a blast 💥, especially with our new window-shattering @WKUDisasterSci Topper Horn! #WKU

Today I start my first day of grad school! 🤓I’m looking forward to my courses and the experiences that have been offered to me at @wku and @WKUDisasterSci. Also: Don’t let people tell you that you can’t do it or that you aren’t smart enough…✨because you can and you will✨

We love when our partners gift us with neat decor to showcase our long-standing relationship! Thanks @JimBeam! #WKU

If you know of current or incoming @wku students who plan to live on campus this fall and have been impacted by the flooding in Western Kentucky, please have them reach out to our office to see if we can be of assistance - email hrl@wku.edu.

Re: Storm Surveys This afternoon, EMA personnel and 3 meteorology students from @WKUDisasterSci assisted the NWS with damage surveys from Sunday’s storm. A determination hasn’t been made yet, but as soon as a decision is made we will share that information.
