TADD – Turn Around, Don’t Drown

While it’s still National Preparedness Month, we want to make sure we remind everyone about the hazards and dangers that occur across the US.

Flooding is the most common hazards in the US. And with data to prove it, the costs associated with a few inches of water in the house can be a catastrophic point for any family.

We want to make sure you are aware of these hazards and make sure you know what to do during a disaster or critical situation…like flooding.

So even in passive signage across campus, these kinds of

Turn Around, Don’t Drown…

Your car is not a boat.

TheClub!

When was the last time you saw TheClub in action?!?!?

Maaaaaaan, the last time I saw one of these things inservice was 1991…when I removed the face from my car stereo.

DYK: The Club was recognized as America’s most recommended Anti-theft wheel lock? Hmmmm.

<Maybe because there are not any other wheel locks?>

A few colleagues from my Executive Academy cohort

Just thinking about a few colleagues from my FEMA Executive Emergency Management Academy cohort.

There’s so much more behind this picture than what you see.

Fun fact: 50% of the individuals in this picture have advanced in position and moved up in their respective organizations/fields.

Each of these pros pictured are hard charging Type-A personalities. Relentless in their efforts to do good stuff AND move mountains for good people.

We all need to continue to do more and reach out more frequently to our colleagues.

In service to others.

Taking my own advice, I’m going to call a few buddies now.

24 years later, September 11th

A lot has changed in 24 years…
That morning, I remember being notified early on that ZOB reported UA Flight 93 with garbled radio traffic in distress.

Take the time to reflect and talk to the younger generations on the importance of dedication, service, sacrifice, and safety for all.

Be an advocate for change and an inspiration for generations to come.
