Solid day teaching with Ohio Emergency Management Agency (OEMA) and the Ashtabula County Emergency Management Agency.
As a new PIO, many seasoned professionals are overwhelmed with the amount of new duties assigned. Aside from the standard press release, talking points, press conferences, call backs, postings, fact sheets, real-time information, social media, briefings, emergency messaging, etc….
Agencies like Ashtabula County EMA have partnered with their local Fire, EMS, Police, Public Works, Nuclear, Transportation, Communications, Hospitals, Nursing homes, government leaders, and Non-Governmental Organization to better their interactions upcoming for disasters.
Establishing relationships prior to any emergency is considered the hallmark of success in Emergency Management. An All-Hazards response is key to any incident.
Special thanks great agencies like the Ohio Emergency Management Agency and the Ashtabula County Emergency Management Agency. Leaders like Director Mike Fitchet and Deputy Director Tim Howson are the catalyst for building great working relationships in their communities.
Solid work everyone! Looking forward to working with you in the Joint Information Center (JIC)!
