Thanks so much for sharing! I’ve subscribed to your blog for my agency which is a disaster response operation in San Diego during emergencies. It’s essential to have resources like your blog available to us to be able to locate information that can be redistributed to the public as appropriate.
Thanks very much. Unfortunately, I cannot promise the site will exist indefinitely. Right now I do all the work on my own time and at my own expense. Not sure how long I can keep that up.
