While many are nestled with their families, celebrating the holiday season, the wheels of essential services across the District continue to relentlessly turn. In an announcement from the DC Homeland Security and Emergency Management Agency (HSEMA) shared on social media, the agency highlighted that their 24/7 Watch and Warning program remains vigilant during the festive period. The Facebook post expressed gratitude toward the staff and partners who "are on duty, away from loved ones, to care for others."
While the city may slow down during the holidays, those on the front lines remain steadfast in their commitment. “Their dedication and teamwork help keep communities safe and supported,” HSEMA stated in the post.
During the holidays, many people sacrifice time with their families to keep the city safe.
