Sounds like my next week just got busier…
Lead by example and support others who have a similar mission.
San Mateo course today – prep for 2016 Superbowl
Ready this morning for our San Mateo course.
Lots of fun stuff here.
Great to have so many partners in public safety attending today in preparing for the upcoming Super Bowl.
Everyone is ready with our 2015 #ShakeOut drill #NDPTC
Not going to lie, I love participating in national preparedness events with everyone.
No kidding, our entire class participated.
My California peeps love preparedness!
Everyone!
Even though we are in the EOC, our participants know the importance of preparedness training.
Preparing for the #CAEq – #ShakeOut
Bonus points for the #ShakeOut selfie too!
Awww yeah.
Love this class!
Also so excited to see that DHS/FEMA’s Ready.Gov Program sharing our messages on social media.
Woot-Woot!!!!
Thanks to everyone in today’s class at the Santa Clara County (CA) Emergency Operations Center!
VIP at Intel – Thanks Rick!
Amazing tech stuff happening from the teams at Intel.
Thanks to Rick, I was able to stop by and chat about a few new programs.
I love talking about the possibilities by utilizing 3D recognition. So many uses including medical, USAR, thermal signature, and mapping. They are even looking to drone tech…LOVE IT!!
Looking forward to the big tech announcements upcoming.
Many mahalos to Rick and all the teams at Intel.
And now you know why
And now you know why I’m here…
Planning baby! Planning!

We worked several large incidents and events for Fire/EMS as well as Emergency Management. Tim is an incredible resource for NE Ohio. I am so glad to see that he will continue to serve the area for the American Red Cross.
Weekend training with Andover Fire and @JumpSeatViews
I had a great time this weekend hanging with the crews from Andover Fire.
Special thanks to Alicen and Chief Robbie Vickery for the invite.
Also, glad to finally meet Charleston Fire (WV) Firefighter Ryan Pennington – most famous by his Hoarders House classes #JumpseatNation .
Ryan has a different perspective on fire and technology – all kinds of stuff you should hear.
Glad to see the lads from Rome Fire too. Too bad no Fred.
I know I know – it’s the weekend. But more training never hurt anyone.
Train like you fight peeps!
Exciting Sunday night tests
If you ever thought I have an exciting life, this was my Sunday evening.
Gotta keep the coffee hot during any emergency right?
Your opinions are greatly appreciated.
Discussion today on new technologies for PIOs
Yesterday, a bunch of PIOs met to discuss some video publishing options.
And yes, pushing out time-sensitive information and learning about new technologies ON THE SAME MOBILE DEVICE AT THE SAME TIME does cause some stressful moments.
However, we got serious and openly discussed a few new technologies.
You guessed it, the theme of the day was the immediacy of mobile hardware and software for broadcast video. So our spirited discussion resulted in a lunch-n-learn program.
Other tips from today’s meeting:
- Adapt and overcome.
- Play the long game.
- You are bigger than you think.
- Promotion.
- Put in the work.
- Make them follow you.
Ahhh yes. Because if we can avoid having to go here…
…we can be more productive for our leadership and enhance the visibility of our field/tactical operations.
Looking forward for big things to come.
Where is @rusnivek?
