It was an all-Florida @NWS team effort today at @FloridaGHC, leading a workshop on effective hurricane messaging for our partners in emergency management. @NWSKeyWest @NWSMiami @NWSTampaBay @NWSMelbourne @NWSJacksonville @NWSTallahassee @NWSMobile @NWSNHC

Next week (July 27-30), the Florida @NWS offices are hosting Florida Tropical Training Week. While this free training is tailored to Florida residents, all are welcome! Visit this link for more info and to register for each day's training:

Most animals fully recover from New World screwworm – but it requires early detection and prompt treatment. 🐈🐕🐎🐑🐐🐂 Help your animals by checking them frequently for signs of infestation and reporting anything suspicious. Our partners at @FDA continue to ensure veterinarians have access to preventive and treatment options for NWS, supporting rapid response in affected areas. Visit for more info on treatments and how to report.

It’s hot out there, California, Southern California knows this for a fact. As heat continues across much of the state, many locations will experience triple- digit temperatures. @cal_oes encourages everyone to take precautions, especially if you’re working or enjoying recreational activities outdoors. Stay hydrated, keep cool, limit time outside during peak heat and check in on neighbors, family members and others who may be more vulnerable to high temperatures. For heat safety information, visit For the latest weather forecast, visit and follow @nws for updates. *** Que calor, California. Mientras el calor continúa en gran parte del estado, muchas zonas alcanzarán temperaturas de triple dígitos. Cal OES recomienda que todos tomen precauciones, especialmente si trabajan o realizan actividades recreativas al aire libre. Mantente hidratado, busca un lugar fresco para descansar, evita realizar actividades extenuantes durante las horas más calurosas del día, y mantente pendiente de tus vecinos, amigos y familiares que puedan necesitar ayuda.

Really proud of this work. The numbers speak for themselves. It has been over two months since the first case of New World screwworm in America. Many reported the Trump USDA had failed, and a massive infestation was imminent. They said an already low cattle herd would now be decimated. But we knew different because we had been preparing for 15 months. Since then, there have only been 45 cases, and in each of those cases the infested animal fully recovered. Today there are ONLY five active cases in all the U.S., a result only made possible through our actions taken to combat NWS: 🪰 Over 600 million sterile flies dispersed 🚁 1,000+ drone flights to identify and provide data for the fly drops 📸 56,000+ wildlife observed and cleared And more sterile flies are coming online as of last week. These numbers are thanks to the constant work of our @USDA_APHIS staff as well as our countless partners in this fight. @TAHC @AgriLife @DHSgov @EPA @US_FDA This is a great start, but there is still much to do. We will continue until NWS is eradicated. 💪🇺🇸
