April was NOT easy and now May 2015 will be even busier.

First week I’ll be in Charleston, West Virginia (Region-3) presenting PIO/social media and crisis communications at the West Virginia Public Safety Exposition. Then I’ll head to southern Ohio (Region-5) to run an exercise on the importance of Incident Action Plans (IAPs) and SMART Objectives.

Second week I’ll head to Louisiana (Region-4) to pilot a brand new FEMA course then turnaround and return to Ohio (Region-5) to teach G-289: Public Information Officer Awareness class for Ohio Emergency Management Agency (OEMA). 

Third week I will head to Maryland (Region-3) and instruct at FEMA’s Emergency Management Institute. Whohoo!!!! Also hoping to catch up to a few friends at FEMA and DoS.

Fourth week, I’ll be headed to Atlanta, Georgia (Region-4) to teach at the National Flood Plain Managers’ Conference.

Sounds relaxing huh?

You know me, I was just excited that April’s Ohio EMA Director’s Conference went smoothly – well done OEMA Training and Exercise Branch!

As for today, I am looking forward to my tactical training with my friends from ICE. 

Bang bang.
