Good morning Jennifer,

We received updated information on the IMET/Wildfire status from Larry in Boise and I have added it to the Google Doc shared in your previous email.

Please let us know if there is anything else you need.

Thanks

Hi, everyone,

We have a quick-turn PCO tasker.  Please have your section completed today by 3:30 so John can clear it by the deadline.

From PCO:

BLUF: Yesterday afternoon, RDML Gallaudet requested Talking Points for five-minute remarks at a Water-Subcabinet Engagement that he has tomorrow. I drafted talking points, but I still need details on IMET deployments and I need EMC and OWP review of content for a couple of upcoming model upgrades. 

Request:

• In the "Weather Support/Fire Weather" section of the attached doc, please add the requested Fire Weather/IMET stats.
• In the "Upcoming Model Upgrades" section, please have EMC review the GFSv16 details and OWP review the NWM details. They can make changes as needed. If additional details need to be added, keep them limited to 2 sentences per model upgrade.

Thank you, 

JZK

Hi – David and Bill,

I understand you will be joining our DOI/Reclamation leadership for the Colorado River Water Users Association “Federal Friday” event this Friday.

 

I’m connecting Peter Soeth here from Reclamation’s Public Affairs office.  Peter will be:

 

1. Sending you an invitation to a Microsoft Team – you’ll need to accept.
2. Once you accept, Peter can invite you to the Live Event on Friday.
3. He will also send an invitation for a quick rehearsal tomorrow to be sure he can connect you to the Live Event.   (You’ll need to accept your invitation to the Microsoft Team prior to the rehearsal).    (I might suggest that be scheduled at 3:45 ET at the end of your WSC Principals meeting?)

 

Let us know if you have any questions.

Thanks!  Kerry
