Alabama TERT

1 pm Tropical Update: compared to the 10 am advisory, winds in Hurricane Milton have increased to 155 mph from 150 mph, and the central pressure has dropped from 929 to 923 mb. Hurricane Milton is a Category 4 hurricane and very close to Category 5 strength (157+ mph).

Thank you to Cullman County Fire Association for letting us use their training center today & Vinemont Fire Department for letting Mobile set up their equipment last night and run the drill this morning!

We couldn't do any of this without help from local agencies. We appreciate the support tremendously. Teamwork is one of the most important components of TERT - on teams, with local agencies, and with state agencies.

We had Telecommunicators from Madison to Mobile and everywhere in between come to Cullman for another AL-TERT Basic class this week! We are so glad everyone could come out & we hope you are all as fired up as we are about where this team is headed. Thank you Cullman County EMA for hosting us at your facility!
