From the Desk of Former Mayor Malinda Miles

It has been two years since I decided to remove myself from the political scene in Mount Rainier, MD, Prince George's County, and the State of Maryland. Holding the lofty position of Mayor was such a great honor, but as the years flew by, I realized that it was time to do something else -- get a life.! I did, and still continue to provide resources to the residents through The Front Porch Ministries (TFPM). Real people pass through The Front Porch Ministries weekly. LIFE is good.

Here's what the County Reps are saying. TAKE HEED --better to be prepared rather than sorry.

Please be advised that there are two significant weather events expected to impact Prince George’s County, beginning tonight and lasting through Monday.

Beginning tonight, heavy precipitation will begin to move through the area. This precipitation should last through Friday night/Saturday morning and is expected to bring 3-4 inches of rain, possibly more in localized areas. Local and fresh water flooding is expected. There may a brief break from precipitation from Saturday afternoon through sometime on Sunday, depending on the track of Hurricane Joaquin.

Hurricane Joaquin has been upgraded to a Category 3 Hurricane and is expected to begin to impact our area sometime on Sunday and lasting through Monday. The exact track and forecast of the storm is still uncertain, thus we cannot provide any concrete details at this time. However, localities should anticipate heavy rain in addition to the 3-4 inches expected on Friday and strong and potentially damaging winds.

Prince George’s County will continue to develop our situational awareness tools and will share any updates with the localities, including if and when the County’s Emergency Operations Center is activated. Please contact me or our Director, Mr. Ronnie Gill, if you have any questions or concerns. Thank you,

Henry Cauley

Mayor Malinda Miles

As a long-time resident of Mount Rainier and a homeowner, it is important to me that municipal government be inclusive of all of its residents. It is equally important that information be communicated through all possible channel so that residents can get involved. It is also important for residents to volunteer and serve on committees, commissions, boards and task forces. I truly believe that municipal government is the government closes to the people, and as such should be easily accessible. This BLOG is another effort to reach out to the residents of Mount Rainier.
