FEMA Instructor Cheryl Nelson Outlines Important Steps to Take Before an Emergency Happens and Tips to Ensure a Quick Recover

ATLANTA, GA / ACCESS Newswire / September 12, 2025 / Major weather disasters regularly impact the nation, resulting in hundreds of millions of dollars in damage. Wildfires, heat waves, tornadoes, and record flooding have already happened this year, and Hurricane season is far from over. That is why this year’s National Preparedness Month is important. Just in time for National Preparedness Month, FEMA disaster expert Cheryl Nelson offers some critical steps on how to prepare for and recover from any disaster. Cheryl is an instructor and Meteorologist for the FEMA National Disaster Preparedness Center.

PART OF A DISASTER PLAN

When evacuation is necessary, having a safe, reliable place to stay is essential, whether for a few nights, a week, or longer. That is where Wyndham Hotels & Resorts is trusted. With three extended stay brands Echo Suites, Hawthorn, and WaterWalk, everyone’s covered from coast to coast. These hotels are designed for longer stays, with fully equipped kitchens, laundry, fitness centers, and free Wi-Fi which is perfect for families, evacuees, and first responders. Plan ahead and visit WyndhamHotels.com/ExtendedStay to find the nearest location.

PREPARING A HOME FOR A DISASTER

Backup power should be a cornerstone of every preparedness plan and I recommend Generac. In 2024, the U.S. had nearly 1.5 billion electric outage hours; that is the most since Generac began tracking. Backup power isn’t one-size-fits-all, and Generac offers options to meet everyone’s needs: home standby generators, portable generators, and portable power stations. Generac provides peace of mind when the grid fails and even offers models that can support solar panels or energy storage systems for sustainable preparedness. For more information, visit www.generac.com

SUGGESTIONS FOR COMMUNICATIONS

In a disaster, staying connected is not a luxury, it is a lifeline, and T-Mobile has everyone covered. They’ve built a resilient network that adapts with AI, automation, backup batteries, and generators. T-Mobile’s T-Satellite keeps everyone connected when traditional networks are affected or unavailable. They proudly support first responders and communities quickly, providing free Wi-Fi, charging, and portable power in impacted areas. To help prepare for a storm, save key contacts and pack a go-bag with a charger. During an outage, switch to low-power mode, try texting first, or use Wi-Fi calling when possible. For more information, visit www.t-mobile.com

ANOTHER PREPAREDNESS TIP

The GE LED+ Battery Backup Bulbs automatically turn on when the power goes out, providing over five hours of dependable light. They fit standard fixtures, give the same brightness as traditional bulbs, and can even be unscrewed and used as a flashlight. GE LED+ Battery Backup Bulbs are perfect for making sure no one is ever left in the dark. Have peace of mind knowing that with GE LED+ Battery Backup Bulbs anyone can stay one step ahead of the next power outage. Get them at shop.gelighting.com.

Nationally recognized parenting expert and mom blogger Amanda Mushro shares new innovations to help parents and caregivers

ATLANTA, GA / ACCESS Newswire / September 12, 2025 / Parenting and care-giving come with countless responsibilities, and ensuring the safety and well-being of infants is at the top of the list. Whether someone is a new parent, expanding their family, or a grandparent, taking proactive steps to create a safe and nurturing environment is essential. Nationally recognized parenting expert and mom blogger Amanda Mushro relies on her curated baby safety guide that highlights the latest expert tips and innovations designed to help parents and caregivers protect little ones.

Advice for caring for a sick child
When it comes to treating a baby’s fever or providing pain relief, Mushro recommends choosing the cleanest options possible. She highlights Genexa – the first clean medicine company that makes medicines with the same effective active ingredients as leading brands, but without artificial preservatives, sweeteners, or dyes. An independent study even found that pediatricians prefer Genexa’s ingredients for treating pain and fever over the ingredients in Tylenol’s top-selling comparable products. Genexa is available nationwide at most retailers, including Amazon. For more information, visit www.Genexa.com

Unique baby foods to consider
When babies are ready to start solid foods, Mushro points to the importance of introducing peanut products. Research shows that introducing peanut foods to babies between four and six months can reduce the risk of developing a peanut allergy by 86 percent. Early and consistent introduction is key. Peanut butter or peanut powder can be mixed with breast milk, formula, or water and served with a spoon, or combined with foods the baby is already eating. As always, she emphasizes consulting a pediatrician before making changes to a baby’s diet. For more information, visit NationalPeanutBoard.org/Peanut-Allergy-Prevention

Colin Matthew Awards Red Carpet Attendees Display the True Spirit of Los Angeles

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA / ACCESS Newswire / September 12, 2025 / The City Los Angeles celebrated with the Be Inspirational Foundation, the Saint Vinson Eugene Allen Foundation, and 2024 honoree actor Ernest Harden Jr. on Saturday Sept. 6, 2025, for the second Annual 2025 Colin Matthew $50,000 Hand-Up Awards and Gala. The iconic Los Angeles Biltmore hotel was "the place to be" on Saturday night – the red carpet was a powerful mix of city officials and A-list celebrities for an evening dedicated to fundraising for adults and children with special needs. This year’s special honorees are legendary stars of television and film – Keith David, Marla Gibbs, Garrett Morris, and Richard Lawson.

Dr. Vinson Eugene Allen and his wife Dr. Connie Yu, founders of the Colin Matthew $50,000 Hand-Up Awards, hosted a sold-out event, with parking to match. The dynamic duo captivated and dazzled a packed audience with heartfelt stories, and lighthearted moments. The couple received humble recognitions from city officials and state representatives, including acknowledgments from the Office of Mayor Karen Bass, the Office of Laura Richardson, Councilwoman Bridget Lewis, the Office of Fiona MA and many others. The award show featured many families and caregivers, who also were celebrated for their heroic stand, fighting battles alone, while living with disabilities.

The energy was exciting as music headliner Club Nouveau ignited the crowd with an energetic performance that drew both attendees and celebrities onto the dance floor. Master of Ceremonies Dannon Green kept the crowd entertained with his comedy styles, while special guest Ernest Harden Jr., a passionate advocate for families with special needs, delivered a heartfelt speech on the importance of community support. The evening also featured a memorable and humorous reunion between Harden (Marcus) and his former co-star from The Jeffersons Marla Gibbs (Florence), whose warm camaraderie delighted the audience.

A standout moment during the award show featured the Allen children. Colin Matthew Allen, age 11, the evening’s namesake and known for his passion for helping others, captivated the audience with an unscripted and genuinely charming surprising address to the crowd. His younger sister, 8-year-old Aliani Allen, followed – her effervescent smile and bubbly demeanor radiating youthful enthusiasm addressing the audience. The elder brother Vinson Eugene Allen Jr., age 13, then delivered an inspiring, heartfelt speech about the extensive work and contributions their parents have provided to thousands of families. His words of gratitude and his commitment to serve alongside his parents created a truly memorable highlight. Vinson Jr., poised and an eloquent speaker, mark him as a promising figure to watch in Los Angeles leadership and as a young Hollywood actor.

Embracing this year’s inspiring theme "The Silent Wave of Love," the Foundation is dedicating a significant portion of the 2025 Colin Matthew $50,000 Hand-Up Award proceeds to its new "Making Dreams Come True" initiative. This ambitious project will give 1,000 children an unforgettable trip to Disneyland Park in 2026. This heartfelt initiative was a central focus of this year’s award show and gala to help make these dreams a reality for so many children. Donate today at beinspirational.org.

For over two decades, Dr. Vinson Eugene Allen and his wife Dr. Connie Yu Allen have dedicated their careers to serving underserved communities throughout California and across the United States. They provide vital resources, including food, clothing, and free medical care, to individuals and families in need. Dr. Allen is a recognized trailblazer and innovator in American healthcare, having founded both Dusk to Dawn Urgent Care – the nation’s first African-American-owned urgent care chain – and the essential CoronaVirus Test Los Angeles.

Bing Chen noted, "K-pop’s rise reflects the collective power of authentic cultural expression fused with strategic innovation. Partnering with HYBE and the Gold Music Alliance, we hope to use this blueprint to chart the future of entertainment for all."
