This is a particularly dangerous situation for this region. Everyone in this area should take action now (e.g., charge your phones, make sure sump pump is working, have fresh batteries, etc.), and monitor forecasts and stay weather aware today through Saturday.

While we commemorate this disaster, we should also praise the advances in weather prediction, communication, planning, and warning that have saved countless lives in the last 100 years.
These are made possible by publicly funded science and the dedication of NOAA and the National Weather Service.

Fortunately, we have a dream team to meet these challenges, including @cristiproist.bsky.social, @latinwx.bsky.social, and partners with @readyillinois.bsky.social, @prairieresearch.bsky.social, @climasuiuc.bsky.social, and NCSA.
Next: on to southern Illinois for more feedback and discussion. 3/3

The precarious status of federal climate, hazard, and vulnerability information resources reinforces the need for this work in Illinois, which was reflected in the group's discussion.
EMs, planners, and decision makers need clear, high fidelity local information on actionable timescales. 2/3
