    This report describes the results of a regularly distributed survey of nationwide Emergency Managers as part of The Extreme Weather and Emergency Management Survey (WxEM) series. This project aims to send surveys to Emergency Managers across the United States three to four times a year, although that frequency may change based on Emergency Manager and research needs. The Extreme Weather and Emergency Management Survey, Wave 4 (WxEM Wave 4) was designed by the Institute for Public Policy Research and Analysis (IPPRA) at the University of Oklahoma and collaborators from Eastern Carolina University and Texas Tech University. It was administered by IPPRA. It is the fourth survey in the series. WxEM Wave 4 opened on December 4, 2023, using an online questionnaire and has been completed by 313 Emergency Management personnel that were recruited from an IPPRA built database of Emergency Managers from across the country (see Wanless et al. 2023d for more info on recruitment). WxEM Wave 4 follows WxEM Wave 1, which was designed to recruit and gather demographic information on participants (Wanless et al. 2023b), WxEM Wave 2, which focused on how Emergency Managers use severe weather forecast information (Wanless et al. 2023c), and WxEM Wave 3 (Wanless et al. 2024b) with its focus on hazardous weather events that happen in the same place at the same time, called compound hazards. Wave 4 measured Emergency Manager communication and collaboration with various partner agencies and organizations. Wave 4 investigated which partners Emergency Managers work with during the preparedness, response, and recovery phases of a hazardous weather event. This report presents an overview of the methodology of the survey data collection, and a reproduction of the survey instrument with frequencies for the questions that elicited numeric responses

    No full text
    This Christmas letter written November 30, 1999, by David Zimmer is titled "Season's Greetings from the last of the Red-Hot-Santas!" It features an illustration of Santa Claus with a guitar, and a summary of Zimmer's year. David Zimmer (1929-2005) was born in Harrisburg, Ohio. He enlisted in the U.S. Army and served for two years during the Korean War at the Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio, where he performed in drag for wounded soldiers. After the war, he returned to Ohio. Zimmer performed as Dolly Divine, a name inspired by the song "Hello Dolly." In 1964, he established the Berwick Ball with Orn Huntington, another important early gay activist in Central Ohio. The Ball began as a formal Halloween costume ball that provided a safe space to gather and enjoy drag shows for the gay community each year; over the years, it grew into an annual Halloween tradition and an important fundraiser for the AIDS movement and other charities. During the 1970s, Zimmer was also known for hosting lavish parties at his Harrisburg home. In 1989, he moved to the German Village area of Columbus where he remained active in the community. During the 1990s, Zimmer continued to perform in and out of drag and commissioned costume designer Dick Frank to make elaborate outfits. Zimmer worked for Huntington National Bank for 39 years and was a member of the Harrisburg United Methodist Church, Veterans of Foreign Wars and the German Village Society
