This is my most memorable World Cup moment growing up. Never could I have imagined that 16 years later I’d be part of the biggest sporting event. So excited to be joining FIFA’s Safety & Security team to help deliver the 2026 World Cup

Doing my part to look after my adopted catch basin a few weeks back. sites.google.com/view/adopt-…
After our recent cold spell, we are expecting warmer weather. This week would be a great time to clear off catch basins and hydrants. It is important to shovel out catch basins so stormwater has a place to go!

While it doesn’t seem it now, the 2026 Boston Marathon will be here before we know it. Today we joined our local and state partners at the first public safety meeting at MEMA to kick off the planning for April’s race. #ReadyBoston

The work I am most proud of this year is not tied to a single response, but to closing gaps in how we support the City before emergencies escalate.

One example: a Mobile Command Vehicle. What started as a casual conversation with our partners at BTD turned into a capability we had been missing. The vehicle needed work...but we saw potential.

We love supporting the kids
Over the weekend and today members of our office and our CERT team volunteered over at the Thomas M. Menino Convention & Exhibition Center to assist in the Toys For Tots program!

Pictures do not do justice to how cold it was during this
During the annual Winter Weather Press Conference, Mayor Wu was joined by Interim Chief of Streets Nick Gove & our city partners to update residents on the preparations & resources available to them throughout the cold winter months. For more info: Boston.gov/snow ❄️ ⛄️

A tale as old as time. EMs continue to be victims of their own success and fight an uphill battle for additional budget. Too often it’s not until it’s too late that it happens despite years of countless After Action Reports that point to these known gaps and vulnerabilities
