We have partnered with Danny Pimentel and the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry out on the West Coast to work on #wildfire preparedness. We also have advisors from The Weather Channel, U of South Florida, National Wildfire Coordinating Group, and Keep Oregon Green to provide expert guidance.

For this project, Marshall Shepherd (@drshepherd2013.bsky.social), Kyle Johnsen, and I will be working with the National Hurricane Center and the Broward County Public Library System (36 branches) to really become embedded into the #community with actionable plans for #hurricane #preparedness.

Thank you, @drshepherd2013.bsky.social for the opportunity to join the show! Hope you get to listen in during your next long commute 😎

We are working with the legal office to also upload the application to the Meta store for easier downloads.

P.S. Eek, live interviews are always nerve wracking 😱

Weather the Storm was collaboratively produced by CACHE at @universityofga.bsky.social, Clemson University, South Carolina Sea Grant, and Georgia Sea Grant. Please share widely to anyone who may be interested!

Although I often represent @ugavr.bsky.social, I cannot emphasize enough how much teamwork goes into all we do. It is a collaborative effort among the Colleges of Journalism & Mass Communication, Engineering, Public Health, and the colleges of all of our faculty affiliates, students, and staff.

We are proud to serve @universityofga.bsky.social University of Georgia's land and sea grant missions and humbled to be recognized for our research impact in the state of Georgia.

We are thrilled to be awarded the President's Award of Distinction from the Georgia Clinical and Translational Science Alliance (CTSA), recognizing our efforts to engage community members and orgs, helping to build capacity and establish strong partnerships that evolve into long-term friendships.

Special thanks to all of my partners and collaborators on this project at Clemson University, Georgia Sea Grant, South Carolina Sea Grant, NOAA @noaa.gov, and the National Hurricane Center. We couldn't have done this without their expertise, wisdom, and guidance.

The package contains two versions of the #VR experience (a quick demo with fast throughput, and a longer one for education) and supplementary slides/videos/handouts. Instructions and video manuals on how to download and use the VR experience are provided on the website.
