Sarah Russell was promoted to Commissioner of CEMA in May 2021. They joined CEMA in 2010 as a specialist responsible for public information, community outreach, training, exercise, etc.
Sarah Russell was fired on Saturday after the tornado sirens were not used during the massive tornado that swept through St. Louis City on Friday afternoon.
Thousands of homes were damaged. At least five individuals died, and tens of thousands were without power.
Mayor Cara Spencer suspended Sarah Russell after the tornado sirens were left off during Friday’s tornado.
The tornado ripped through Clayton, the Central West End, and North St. Louis in one of the worst tornadoes in city history.

CEMA staffers were at a workshop when the tornado ripped through St. Louis.
Great accountability questions from @shoshana_stahl last night. Notice how it takes three times before CEMA Commissioner Sarah Russell finally admits CEMA staffers were at a workshop when they should’ve been sounding an alarm. Russell also blames fire dept, old battered sirens. https://t.co/JvHSRqvX4A pic.twitter.com/9g7jCYBxJm

DEI hires have more aptitude for storm warning supervision apparently.
They joined CEMA in 2010
I can see how big she is, but does that constitute the multiple-person pronoun ‘they’? Get over yourselves and stop this woke shite!
