Calm down!
It’s just a new logo.
It took me an extra 12 seconds to figure it out today.
I’m sure you can handle.
I hope.
Calm down – it’s just a new logo for #Instagram

My new social media friends in Michigan #NDPTC
Lots of new social media friends in Michigan.
Many mahalos to the outstanding hosts from the Michigan State University Police Department and the use of their Emergency Operations Center for our #NDPTC class.
Our class included a social media inject from FEMA Administrator Craig Fugate.
Lots of discussion on data mining, geolocation, and information gathering including a little real-time people uses and their platforms. How was your coffee Valerie?
The power of social media.
After class was over, many of the participants (Cooper and Valerie) said to check out the famous MSU Dairy Store.
Dark, quiet, sadly, no one was home. Promised ice cream but I got nothing. #boo
Maybe next time I instruct in Lansing.
Social media for MSU today
Social Media NDPTC course today at the Michigan State University.
Lots of agencies from all over Michigan.
Great to see such engaged peeps and representatives from our all-hazards partners in public safety.
How am I supposed to spot this tiny thing?!? #PIO
These things are getting to be so small!
HD, 4K, satellite capable, live broadcast, international signal, bajeez!
They require a 50meg upload per Dejero. So yes, they are hogging the wifi!
#PIOProblems
Technology. Definitely making our lives more complex.
#Emergency #Preparedness = #sexy ?
No one said #preparedness was #sexy #emergency
It’s def better than getting drenched.
Green ambos? #ripe
State of Ohio EMA new Joint Information Center class in #SummitCounty #JIC #JIS #PIO #ESF15
Rolling out the State of Ohio Emergency Management Agency‘s new G0291: Joint Information Centers (JIC) / Joint Information System (JIS) Planning for Tribal, state, and Local PIOs. Luckily, we were in the Command and Control room at the Summit County Health Department.
Command Control room…aka DOC
As always, its great teaching with Sister Michael Marie. Outstanding experiences and great stories from her international work in challenging areas of the world.
Even OEMA was checking in on our progress!
#truelove for us Emergency Management Instructors.
Sister Michael showcased the importance of all-hazard PIO involvement in emergency response to a natural hazard.
Everyone was able to share experiences and help each other improve – esp thinking outside the box on various scenarios.
By the end of this in-class activity, our participants realized that there are so many parts to a “simple disaster” that it pays to build partnerships early.
It’s all hands working in an emergency – so build your relationships early before a disaster.
Remember: At 0300, you ugly, you smell, you stink – and clearly that’s not the best time to meet new people and to function in an emergency at 110%.
“As Emergency Management, we must continue to nurture solid working relationships and common response/recovery objectives with our all-hazards partners in public safety.” – @rusnivek
Best part? At the end of the class, they all applauded.
Awwww yeah!
When was the last time a class applauded your Emergency Management NIMS ICS compliant class?
Heh.
As always, it’s great to teach with OEMA Instructor and consummate professional Sister Michael Marie.
There is so much going on in this picture. I can’t even.
I’m just glad to be a part of something big.
Day-2 of Ohio EMA Basic Public Information Officer Course in #SummitCounty
Second day of the State of Ohio Emergency Management Agency‘s Basic Public Information Officer’s Course in Summit County.
Lots of discussion on the changes in public information especially with the use of social media in the 24-hour news cycle. #OMG
We were fortunate enough to hear from WKYC Reporter Jasmine Monroe and Videographer Carl Bachtel (NBC News affiliate) on what the media needs once they arrive on scene. Great insight to breaking news and media notifications.
Special thanks to WKYC’s Jasmine Monroe and Carl Bachtel.
As a class, we reviewed all media interviews and shared positives and points to improve – all geared toward enhancing PIO interview skills.
Reviewing the on camera interview with Twinsburg Lt. Marcus Ketner.
The final activity we broke into various PIO sections. This included an on-camera interview with talking points and bridging.
Jim McIntyre interviewing Elizabeth Foster while Mark Shane handles the videographer duties in the final G0290 classroom activity.
Great way to showcase newly acquired skills!

At the end of the day, I had a few moments to play our little holiday project aka #CJSavesCLE – just to showcase the power of when PIOs work with local media to make a wish come true for a day.
#CJSavesCLE
Solid day with so many new peeps!
Tomorrow will be G-291 Joint Information Center stuff! #excited
State of Ohio EMA Basic Public Information Officer Course in Summit County (Ohio)
Bringing the State of Ohio G-290 Basic Public Information Officer Course to the pros at Summit County (Ohio).
Glad to see SO many old friends and faces in the crowd – and proud to share the value of ESF-15.
Also glad to teach w/ fellow FEMA IA Pro Sister Michael Marie.
With participants from all throughout Ohio, I’m excited to build new PIO relationships.
Teaching FEMA’s National Emergency Management Executive Academy Program
Rainy day start to the FEMA National Emergency Management Executive Academy Program here at the Emergency Management Institute.
Cloudy/rainy day at on campus
As always, FEMA EMI Superintendent Tony Russell welcoming our class.
FEMA Emergency Management Institute Superintendent Tony Russell
Always great to see Tony.
Superintendent Tony Russell and Instructor Kevin Sur: “Welcome to EMI!”
I had a great time talking about public information officers, crisis communications, and social media – but from the engaging questions from the Cohort, we could have spent all day talking about just tech tools issues and digital engagements!
Breaking down the science of crisis communications for PIOs with various tools like social media
Great class and hoping next year we have more time on the in-class exercise.
Looking forward to the collective expertise from this Cohort in the near future!
Warm Alohas to my new friends!
