EMN Labor Day Message

Thank you all that are on the Job this weekend

Labor Day Message to All First Responders, Hospital Workers, and recovery teams working to help the recovery.

As we gather with family and friends this Labor Day weekend to honor the hard work and achievements of American workers, it is important for us at the Emergency Management Network to extend our deepest appreciation to all of you—first responders, hospital workers, and the incredible teams working in Lahaina and the southeast this holiday weekend.

Today, we want to specifically thank:

• Emergency Managers: Thank you to all the emergency managers who are working tirelessly this Labor Day to coordinate essential services and keep our communities safe.

• Dispatchers: A heartfelt thanks also goes to the dispatchers who remain on duty this holiday, acting as the crucial link between the public and emergency services.

• Police Officers & Security Personnel: Thank you for keeping our communities safe, especially on busy holidays like Labor Day when emergency calls are at a peak.

• Hospital Staff & Healthcare Professional: Your dedication to saving lives, often at the cost of time with your own families, does not go unnoticed or unappreciated.

• EMS & Paramedics: Your quick thinking and rapid response save countless lives, on Labor Day and every day.

• Firefighters & Rescue Teams: Thank you to all the firefighters and rescue members who are selflessly serving our communities this Labor Day weekend, ensuring our safety even as many of us enjoy a holiday.

• Volunteers & Community Organizations: Your acts of kindness, from providing shelter to those affected by the fires and storms to supplying meals to workers on the frontline, are the backbone of our communities.

In a world that doesn't pause for holidays, your commitment to your professions and to public service is remarkable. This Labor Day, although you may not be off work, please know that your sacrifices are honored and deeply valued by every individual and family who sleeps safer because of your commitment.

Let’s also take a moment to think about the communities impacted by the ongoing situation in Lahaina. The hard work of rebuilding lives, homes, and hope is made easier by your tireless efforts. You are not just laborers but life-savers, hope-bringers, and the epitome of community heroes.

For those of us enjoying the holiday, let's remember to take a minute to thank these professionals—perhaps by providing a meal, sending a note of appreciation, or simply offering a heartfelt "thank you" when you see them in action. A simple gesture can go a long way to remind these heroes that their labor is appreciated.

To everyone working this Labor Day weekend, and every day, thank you for your unparalleled dedication, bravery, and commitment.

Wishing you all a safe and fulfilling Labor Day weekend.
