Send us a textWe had a tornado go through very close to us this morning, within about 5 miles, but we received no watch or warning notifications. The National Weather Service is having some updates that prevented us from being told - and I'm thankful that we are safe, but others were not so fortunate. Ezekiel is called a watchman for the house of Israel - to warn them of God's judgment if they did not turn from their sin. But the prophet was also given a warning - if he did not sound out, and said nothing, their blood would be on his hands. What about us? Are we warning a world lost in sin, or content to stand idly by and say nothing? #SetYourMindAbovePodcast

Summary: In this episode of Be a Smarter Homeowner, hosts Beth Dodson and John Bodrozic explore how AI technology is transforming the way homeowners prepare for severe weather events. They discuss how HomeZada now uses AI to deliver real-time alerts based on your exact property location — not just your city or zip code — helping you act faster when dangerous weather is on the way. Beth and John walk through how the system pulls data from the National Weather Service, translates it into specific, actionable recommendations, and even helps homeowners proactively assess risks like floods, wildfires, hurricanes, hailstorms, and high winds before disaster strikes. They explain how the AI goes beyond just warnings — offering preparation advice, emergency kit checklists, and even insurance insights tailored to your region. Whether you're new to an area, unfamiliar with local weather patterns, or just busy with everyday life, this episode shows why early preparation is critical — and how smarter tools can help you protect your home, your property, and your family. If you've ever wondered what more you could be doing to be ready for the unexpected, this episode is packed with real solutions. Takeaways AI integration enhances homeowner awareness and preparedness. Severe weather alerts are crucial for protecting property and family. Different regions experience different types of severe weather. Homeowners should understand the specific risks in their area. Proactive measures can mitigate damage from severe weather. The National Weather Service categorizes weather events by severity. HomeZada provides personalized weather alerts based on location. Real-time alerts can guide immediate actions during severe weather. Preparation for severe weather should be ongoing, not just reactive.

The National Weather Service was crucial in getting people timely information before a tornado decimated the town of Greenfield. A year later, what do the Trump Administration's cuts to the service mean for the service?

In the twenty years since Hurricane Katrina devastated the Gulf Coast, powerful hurricanes such as Sandy, Irma, Maria and Helene have caused immense property destruction and led to thousands of deaths. If Katrina taught us anything, it was to be prepared for the unimaginable. But have we learned that lesson?  In this episode, part of a series tied to the 20th anniversary of Katrina, we report from the National Hurricane Conference in New Orleans about what we've learned in the years since. Emergency management teams from the Virgin Islands reflect on the two Category 5 hurricanes that hit within just two weeks of each other in 2017, scientists describe how climate change is reshaping hurricanes and our new tools for forecasting them. Meanwhile dark clouds are gathering. As we head into hurricane season, the administration proposes to slash funding for agencies that are tasked with helping us prepare and recover from natural disasters, such as NOAA and the National Weather Service. Guests: Yvette Henry – Community Affairs Coordinator at the Department of Human Services in the US Virgin Islands Abigail Hendricks – Emergency Support Function #6 coordinator on the island of St John, Virgin Islands Meaghan Enright – executive director of the nonprofit, Love City Strong that works on disaster preparedness, response, and recovery on the island of St John, Virgin Islands Rebeca Mueller – Director of media coordination, National Hurricane Conference Michael Brennan – Director, National Hurricane Center, Miami, Florida Julie Roberts – Former director of communications and Deputy Chief of Staff for NOAA during the first Trump administration.
