Game-4: NBA Finals – See something, say something
2017 Game-4: NBA Finals
While we often talk about “See something, say something” last night’s game was a great example.
See anything?
Look again. See anything?
That’s right, that bag.
Unidentified packages like these are potentially dangerous. Cleveland Police Bomb Squad was immediately onscene investigating.
Glad to have so many speciality teams out in the field forward positioned to make immediate contact and conduct investigations.
A good reminder to hear over and over: See something, say something.
Also note, the Plans Section Chief’s Forward Observer position is incredibly valuable.
Reporting live from the EOC…
Game-4 NBA Finals – See something, say something!
Thousands of my favorite Cleveland peeps….Game-4.
Win or go home. #GoCavs!
Equally as important: See something, say something.
With both teams playing tonight, it’s a great time for a reminder for all fans.
Be safe peeps! Everyone’s watching.
Cleveland needs a win on Friday please.

Teaching my favorite class in Missouri!
Great start to a Tuesday morning teaching my most favorite class: Social Media Tools & Techniques!
Glad to see Emergency Management Director welcoming everyone to the brand new training room.
Participants from all over the state contributed to conversation about new social media tools as well as tactics used for disaster response and recovery.
Particularly glad to see engaged partners sharing info and building relationships IRL (In Real Life) as well as online. Amplification of efforts online can only contribute to the success of agencies in preparedness as well as response and recovery.
Great to see so many familiar faces as well as a bombucha mahalos to all my old and new peeps from Missouri!
It still has the brand new EOC smell!
Oooooooooooo. Yaaassss – it still has that brand new EOC smell!
Kinda like the “new car smell” for Emergency Management.
Bonus points for media parking with prepipped hookups on the opposite side of the parking lot.
Extra bonus points for a measured spot for the FEMA MERS vehicle too (far left parking spots).
Noooice.
Game-2: Let’s #GoCavs !!!!
#PrideInTheCLE on a perfect Saturday in downtown #Cleveland
Solid morning setup with all the public safety pros in Cleveland for Pride Parade today #PrideInTheCLE
Even Charlie Pop is up and taking a look at a few things from above too.
Planned out a few things with one of my favorite PIOs… Cleveland Police Sgt Jennifer Ciaccia!
It’s worth a note that this is the first time the CPD Honor Guard was able to participate and lead the parade.
Everyone should be proud of a city that supports diversity from so many different communities.
Had a chance to see the Cleveland Police Bike Unit out along the parade route.
Adorned with festive flags, Cleveland Police bike unit is there to support the community.
Glad to see law enforcement leadership out amongst the community too. Here’s Cleveland Police Chief Calvin Williams and members of the bike unit posing for pictures.
Additionally, we caught the mounted unit getting into the party too. Apparently, Red Bull gives you wings. Pegasus!
Police 👮 recruitment table was setup and answering lots of questions from the general public on the upcoming entrance requirements.
Also had a chance to do some interviews with CPD Explosive Detection K9 Benny!
Seriously, we have worked numerous events with them – great team!
Thousands marched along the parade route and then at the entrance to Cleveland Public Square…
…and thousands more met them at downtown public square.
Fun day for everyone downtown!
Special thanks to the field PIO reporting team of Jen and Kevin at #PrideInTheCLE.
Our second year doing field PIO stuff from the parade route.

Southern Ohio PIOs classÂ
Lots to discuss these past few days in southern Ohio with PIOs from across the state here to learn more hands on for field PIOs.
Initial review on external affairs as well StratComms (Strategic Communications) discussion. Lots of facts as well as comparisons from past to present.
Thanks Erik! Then lots of case studies to review including reviewing video interviews with famous…
…and now infamous people.
Lots to learn!
Also shared some heartwarming success stories from our area.
Hands on training in a safe classroom environment allows PIOs to explore various techniques and use equipment that usually only found with broadcast news stations.
Also gave a chance to PIOs to craft, strategize, and rollout messaging to their peeps in a simulated emergency.
Walking interviews isn’t easy to do…esp during a simulated flooding.
Solid creative messaging including a song too! (<–inspired by the Mecklenburg County TADD jingle).
Great work to all participants who attended.
Special thanks to Angela from the Washington County Health Department for hosting this collaborative workshop for everyone.
Great to have trusted fellow PIOs and friends in southern Ohio.
Where is @rusnivek?
