Day-5 of the DHS/FEMA Master PIO….it’s been a long week for us.

Lots of great work and solid discussion amongst the pros above.

Now that we have discussed, and solved a few PIO problems along the way, we can all breathe a bit easier.

As we all step back and admire our accomplishments, we also take time to acknowledge our efforts for the entire nation.

There are 11 new DHS/FEMA Master PIOs finishing up activities this week.

And now the DHS/FEMA Master Public Information Officers (MPIO) graduating class of 2018:

• J. Brooks (Colorado)
• M. Brooks (Oklahoma)
• M. Coppin (Missouri)
• C. Hunt (Maryland)
• R. Moreno (Texas)
• R. Reith (Indiana)
• K. Sur (Illinois)
• T. Taylor (Arizona)
• M. Trost (Colorado)
• J. Willard (Florida)
• J. Zidek (Alaska)

<APPLAUSE! APPLAUSE! APPLAUSE!>

I am so proud to be one of them.

Whohooooooooo! But now…the hard part starts.

Through our EVERYDAY work, we must lead, challenge, and inspire others to carry on and continue to push the envelope further. We shall work tirelessly to serve others and continue to serve our jurisdictions with pride and honor.

Reporting live from FEMA EMI, I’m Master PIO Kevin T. Sur…
