Returning from #GSMCon2017
Well, I guess it’s time to “head back from Dallas”
Let me get comfortable in my exit row seat
Special thanks to Sarah Gamblin-Luig (@SirenLadySTL) for chaperoning my quick 2-day trip for the 2017 Government Social Media Conference (#GSMCon2017) in Texas.
“Attending” the #GSMCon2017 in Dallas #coasttocoastkevin
Today, I am “attending” the Government Social Media Conference (#GSMCon2017) in Dallas.
Thanks to a few late night ideas spurred by Maryland Emergency Management’s Emily Allen (@allen_emilym) and Garden Grove Fire California Capt Nguyen (@PIOthanhn).
Bahhahahaahaha.
Sounds like an interesting talk from Mary Jo Flynn and Sarah Miller now on Social Media and UAS use by government officials.
Ahem. Well, what can I say?
Maybe a few safety messages on keeping your mobile devices charged…..Wait, Lazo can you help?
I tried to win a few raffle prizes, but sadly that didn’t happen.
While on the step and repeat, Conference host Kristy Dalton is giving me the look…the look to attend #GSMCon2018 too.
I spy, with my right eye…Bronlea too!
Reporting live from…..well Dallas!
It’s still 2017 National Public Safety Telecommunicator week!
It’s still not too late – 2017 National Public Safety Telecommunicator week!
***Sunday April 9th through Saturday April 15th***
Pictured below is still my favorite dispatch picture that depicts how hard their job truly is.
If you have ever sat in a dispatch center for any amount of time, you know how difficult their job really is.
Thank your dispatchers today!
Best Practices for Incorporating…
A few good friends sent me the new Best Practices for Incorporating Social Media into Exercises released by the Department of Homeland Security’s Science and Technology First Responders Group.

Click on the link above to download the entire pdf.
Lots of good reading info in there from the International CAUSE IV experiment that I contributed in Michigan and our international partners in safety – Canada Public Safety.
2017 Home Opener! #Cleveland #Indians #GoTribe

Hope everyone is working hard today.
Remember peeps…
#GoTribe !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Helmet mounted systems for augmented reality? Well…
Assessing a few helmet mounted systems today for augmented reality in-field use.
Some of them totally cool…
U.S. Air Force Capt. Brad Matherne, 422nd Test and Evaluation Squadron pilot, views the flightline inside an F-35A Lightning II before a training mission, April 4, 2013, at Nellis Air Force Base, Nev. The 422nd TES will design the tactics for the F-35A. The squadron will also determine how to integrate the F-35A with other aircraft in the Air Force inventory.

…some of them not so much.
Information overload continues to be a problem for any user including the ongoing data deluge to our military fixed and rotor wing pilots who regularly use these variants of these systems.
And simplicity just isn’t going to cut it.
Additionally, hardware barriers are easy to overcome but the software still lags due to lack of high speed connection. Cellular speeds are lackluster, but the apps required to do overlay of information hogs data up real quick. Additionally, the power required to run these complex apps on hardware is huge.
Maybe I’ll just go retro.
It’s Monday so keep your head down!
Teams are out on a Sunday
I see teams are out flying today.
Likely, many more agencies will be spinning up on the ready.
On this Sunday morning, stay safe peeps!
Dallas sirens activated on 04-07-18 at 2342
I always knew this would be a problem.
I am glad Dallas immediately started their counter procedures.
I hope many of the Emergency Management Agencies out there are taking steps to combat this cyber threat.
Exercise your counter cyber procedures. Exercise them frequently.
11 new clouds for 2017
There are 10 basic clouds as identified by NWS: Cirrus (Ci), Cirrocumulus (Cc), Cirrostratus (Cs), Altocumulus (Ac), Altostratus (As), Nimbostratus (Ns), Cumulus (Cu), Stratocumulus (Sc), Stratus (St), and Cumulonimbus (Cb). (More info can be found here).
However in 2017, 11 more were added: Volutus, Asperitas, Fluctus, Cavum, Flumen, Cataractagenitus, Flammagenitus, Homogenitus, Silvagenitus, Cauda, and Murus.
I wonder how this one was classified.
Whoooosh!
More info on all the clouds you’d ever want can be found here – thanks NWS.
