This must be a record. I’ve had a ton of requests about my exact emergency pancho housed in my GoKit.
(Coin to be used for packed sized comparison)
And if you are going to ask, I believe I look as sexy as the model pictured.
Solid Thursday talking about Joint Information Centers (JICs) and Joint Information Systems (JISs).
Additionally, seeing how our Federal partners build into local and state response is key to showcase how everyone works together.
It is imperative that we continue to push the efforts of our all-hazards partners in public safety to ensure our community ability to return to normal after any disaster.
Later this afternoon, we’ll dive into some social media tech stuff including a bit on intelligence. Hope to share the power of social media with my new peeps.

Also, I hope they now use their social media powers for good!
Did someone say PIO?
Don’t be scared, on camera interviews starting in 3…2..1…
And yes of course, you gotta look good for your interview right?
We definitely evaluated all interviews – open discussion with all class PIOs provides us the ability to enhance our skills and concrete our strengths.
Note: On camera interviews are only one part of the PIOs role on any disaster or emergency.
We are fortunate to have Paris from RTV6 (ABC affiliate) stop by to have an open discussion with our class.
These kinds of open dialog helps new PIOs understand the media needs as well as their short deadlines.
Making sure our new PIOs get a flow for External Affairs dynamics is important as well as numerous discussions on strategies. And of course facilitating discussion on networking and training is totes important.
Great day of sharing the good word and supporting so many PIOs!
Breaking down more Public Information Officer stuff today at Wayne Township Fire!

Reporting live from the front of the class…
Setting up all the fun today for our Basic PIO course and JIC/JIS course.
Both these FEMA courses are cornerstone classes that all external affairs professionals should take. Additionally, the emergency management/disaster response networking opportunities are outstanding.
And yes, we are going to do some on camera interviews too.
Bring your A-game.
Hope to see you in my class tomorrow.
Second day for some advanced social media training.
But seriously, this is my most favorite class to teach.
Focusing in hard on geolocation, rumor dispelling, metadata, and of course live broadcast technologies.
In class? Facebook Live? Interview skills? PIO stuff?!?! Sure thing! I’m in!
But first, lemme take a selfie.

Kicking off another social media course in St. Clair County Michigan!
Glad to see so many familiar faces in the crowd today.
Despite most of the class with respiratory illnesses, this is shaping up to be a solid day in class.
At 0600, Cleveland Police Officer David Fahey #2453 who was struck at the scene of a fatal crash westbound on I-90. He was subsequently transported to MetroHealth Medical Center where he was pronounced dead.
Vehicle that struck Officer Fahey then fled scene.
A vehicle matching the description was identified in Lorain County and currently a suspect is being questioned.
Follow trusted sources of information from Cleveland Police (www.twitter.com/CLEPolice) and the City of Cleveland (www.twitter.com/CityofCleveland) for solid news.
Reminder: When first responders are working, please move over and slow down.
Officer Fahey’s death is similar to an incident resulting in the Line of Duty Death (LODD) of Ohio State Highway Patrol Officer Kenneth Velez in September 2016.
Prayers to all involved esp the family of Cleveland Police Officer Fahey.
No matter where you are, please be mindful of public safety on the roadways.
Slow down.

Um, someone’s got a work.
Yep, definitely black smoke.
You know what to do.
With the popping noises, I bet it’s a car fire.
I was right!
Engine-41 first due on E. 138th!

Where is @rusnivek?
