New Map To Show Where Extreme Weather Has Happened

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) -- Environment Maryland will join federal and local officials in Maryland to unveil a new extreme weather map.

Michael O'Connell, chief of the Anne Arundel County Office of Emergency Management, is scheduled to attend, along with Lisa Craig, the chief of historic preservation in Annapolis.

Lindsey Mendelson of Environment Maryland also is scheduled to attend.
