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
So if you are headed to the 2016 DHS/FEMA National Training and Exercise Symposium this week, let me know.
SWAT Medics aka Tactical EMS Operators have gained so much more prominence in daily operations.
In its infancy, Tactical Emergency Medical Services (TEMS) was made up of a bunch of EMS pros from so many different backgrounds.
These nuts.
These days, I’m glad to see my training has paid off and TEMS Operators are respected by their peers in the Fire/EMS Service, but as well as Law Enforcement Officers (LEOs).
Heck, even my friends at the FBI has many trained TEMS Operators.
Tactical EMS Operators (aka SWAT Medics) are a critical piece of a successful Emergency Medical Service operation.
Thank your local Tactical EMS pros for a job well done!

The EMS Strong campaign seeks to celebrate, unify and inspire the men and women of our nation’s emergency medical services. Created by the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) in partnership with the National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians (NAEMT), EMS Strong brings together associations, EMS services, sponsors and national media to honor the dedication of EMS practitioners nationwide.
Pilots and Nurses are also strong part of Emergency Medical Services (EMS).
Aeromedical crews work especially hard because they are dealing with the most complex patients and of course…time is of the essence.

Not going to lie, I do miss flying.
EMS Pilots, Flight Nurses, Flight Paramedics, Critical Care Nurses and Critical Care Paramedics are all a part of your Emergency Medical Services.

WBW (aka Way Back Wednesday) – because my First ambo ride was in Mercy-29.
Mad props to Ken and Andy.
Also, for aeromedical evacuation, shout out to the MAST pros from the 68th Medical Detachment in Hawaii.
Note: When I first started, they were still flying Hueys.
No matter the location, all EMS Professionals work hard 24/7 – and serve proudly in any community that calls.
Thank your local EMS Professionals for a job well done!

Happy EMS week peeps.
In many parts of the country, local Fire Departments also run all the EMS calls too.
Whether Emergency First Responder (EMR), Emergency Medical Technician (EMT), Advanced Emergency Medical Technician (AEMT), or Paramedic – they are ALL a part of the safety in our jurisdictions
