Hurricane: Watch vs Warning #NatlPrep #Hurricane
For hurricanes, do you know the difference between Watch vs Warning?
and
Simple huh?
For more information, check out FEMA’s Ready.Gov program.
And be prepared for the next hurricane!
Don’t wait. Communicate. Make your emergency plan today.
Awwww yeah, I’m talking about hurricanes on a Windsday.
New technologies for NHC #NatlPrep #Hurricane
10 years ago, Hurricane Katrina ravaged the gulf states.
However, with the advances in technology, the National Hurricane Center has improved their prediction forecast…aka technology has improved to showcase the areas likely to be hit.
Regardless of your location, please prepare for hurricanes.
Yes, three years ago, I was told “…that will never happen here” and “Stop wasting your time.” Soon after, Hurricane Sandy hit Ohio in 2012.
Know where to go. If you are ordered to evacuate, know the local hurricane evacuation route(s) to take and have a plan for where you can stay. Contact your local emergency management agency for more information.
No matter where you are, please prepare for hurricanes.
Don’t wait. Communicate. Make your emergency plan today.
No one wants to be unprepared.
Of course that is KEVIN #NatlPrep
Third week into the 2015 National Preparedness Month…we have Hurricane Kevin?
Good to hear because it’s better safe than sorry.
BTW-Why does she say “Kevin” with such angst?
Don’t wait. Communicate. Make your emergency plan today.
No one wants Kevin showing up unexpectedly.
Double checking my weather radio for #NatlPrep #Hurricane
Peeking into the third week of National Preparedness Month – this week is all about Hurricanes!
So to make sure we are all prepared, I double checked my weather radio yesterday.
I’m Ready!
If you live in Ohio, don’t forget to program your weather radio with these specific frequencies.
Don’t wait. Communicate. Make your emergency plan today.
Third week in. Are you Ready?
Teaching the brand new DHS/FEMA Basic Public Information Officer Course
Awwww yeah! This past week, I got a chance to teach part of the brand new DHS/FEMA G0290: Basic Public Information Officer Course!
Formerly known as G-290 course, this is the new FEMA Basic Public Information Officer course taught across the country for all public safety and emergency management professionals.
Thanks again to the Kentucky Emergency Management Agency and KESC for allowing me the opportunity. Also, special thanks to the ever fashionable Mike from NIOA.
Shakas because we are reporting live from Kentucky…
Don’t worry, I didn’t preflight this aircraft #NatlPrep
Don’t worry, I didn’t preflight this aircraft #NatlPrep
Saturday shakas on the flight line.
Make sure your agencies are safe. Follow protocols and abide by all safety minimums.
Don’t wait. Communicate. Make your emergency plan today.
Enjoying National Preparedness month so far?
Never forget
Never forget.
We must be resolute in the safety of our great nation and serve swift justice for those who can only watch from above.
Ongoing, I hope other countries see the importance of our human safety mission and join us in hunting down evil.
Let freedom ring.
Using ICS for wildfires and NIMS common terminology #NatlPrep
CalFire is working a coordinated ICS system to support ground operations #NatlPrep
As you guessed, CalFire has followed NIMS ICS for decades. Based out of McClellan Airfield, they can coordinate tanker/tender operations.
If you’ve ever been in command of an emergency or disaster, it’s hard to coordinate everyone together. This is why it is imperative to collaborate before an emergency. With wildfire operations, you have so many intricate parts over such a vast area – it really is a well orchestrated response.
Providing safety for all professionals is a must. To all the responders out in the field, keep up the good work!
Continue being vigilant in safety peeps.
For those that need some help w/ resource identification and why it’s so important, here’s a quick example of common terminology is SO important these days.
These are TANKERS
These are TENDERS
Get it? Got it? Good.
**If you still don’t get it, please review IS-100, IS-200, IS-700, IS-800, ICS-300, and ICS-400.
Don’t wait. Communicate. Make your emergency plan today.
I do love me some old school PSAs. Thanks Smokey! #TBT #NatlPrep
I do love me some old school PSAs. Thanks Smokey! #TBT #NatlPrep
$10 says that I wasn’t the only fan of these great PSAs.
This era of PSAs from 1971-1985, is probably my most favorite ones.
Ahhh Smokey. Still a BAMF.
After decades of work, his catch phrase is still true.
Only you can prevent forest fires!
Don’t wait. Communicate. Make your emergency plan today.
