I took this picture in 2011 when I spent some time with the Tomb Guards – 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment “The Old Guard” who support all operations at Arlington National Cemetery. Many Mahalos.
I found me a new nozzleman today…

Thanks Liam!
Not only with words, we must inspire and encourage our youth to do more.
Advancing the hoseline with a bunch of my new Firefighters.
Share your experiences. They can learn a great deal from professionals.
Because our kids are our future.
Prepping for another Public Information Officer, Crisis/TV interviews, and Social Media Courses next week.
Reporting live from LEX18…
I am definitely using a few examples to help break the ice.
Talofa from TALA FOU News!
But don’t worry, I have a whole library of examples to share – basically, what I’ve learned through experience.
One of the basic tips I talk about is RBF.

Posture is important especially since I look super small behind a podium.

One thing is for sure, on camera, I need to smile more.

Who is attending? I have the Mayor, entire City Council, Safety Director, Public Safety Chiefs, Health Department, Emergency Management, etc….So yeah, it should be fun.
Have a great long weekend peeps. Please take time to remember those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms in this great country.
After teaching at FEMA’s Emergency Management Institute (EMI) in the 2016 National Training and Exercise Symposium, I headed into Region-7 to be the closer keynote at the #CPESymposia.
Sharing the message of Public Information Officers (PIOs) and Public Affairs Officers (PAOs) and how they handle crisis.
Of course this includes a bit on one of my favorite topics – social media.

Great to see a few familiar faces in the crowd too.
So many new peeps from so many different states like Colorado, South Dakota, etc…

Behind the cameras, this picture includes a few different forms of tech now used by the media.

This was from the Cleveland Police press conference held yesterday.
I guess the cell phone is lighter to carry than a 30lbs shoulder style camera.
Got my coffee.
Got the view.
Seriously, this view never gets old.
Network and get your learn on!
Early Monday morning at FEMA EMI.
My co instructor Sarah.
Ready to talk to Public Information Officers (PIOs), State Administratice Agency (SAAs) State Training Officers, FEMA Preparedness and Response Staff, and National Training and Education Directorate (NTED) crew.
I wish they allowed my twitter handle on our IDs
Love teaching here.
The calm before the storm
Welcome to the 2016 DHS / FEMA National Training and Exercise Symposium.
Lots of important peeps on campus this week.
Maybe this should be the welcoming party for everyone attending the 2016 DHS / FEMA National Training and Exercise Symposium.
It’s going to be a great class!
Hope to see you in my class.
Heading out to teach at FEMA’s Emergency Management Institute (EMI) this week at the 2016 DHS/FEMA National Training and Exercise Symposium.
I am sure other Emergency Managers can attest, EMI is one of the best places to learn and build relationships with other professionals from across the country.
And yes, it is one of my most favorite places to teach.
Just like last year, I’m stoked to be invited to present again and I’m hoping to see a few friends too.
WhereIsRusnivek? Find_Doc? Hmmmmmm
