Spending the day on behalf of FEMA/NDPTC at the Campbell County (Kentucky) Fire Training Academy instructing local government officials/PIOs on social media.
Great to see class participants from Kentucky, Ohio, and Indiana.

Had a great time in Florida teaching various state Public Information Officers (PIOs).
I also found a cool new EOC/hangout too.
Maybe it’s the new typing and classification for EOCs.
Now heading to Sandusky to teach Incident Command.
Glad to be back in Region-5.

Seriously, I might steal this desk….

Teaching two classes on Social Media/Public Information Officer stuff today and tomorrow at the Florida Emergency Preparedness Association (FEPA) conference in beautiful Daytona Beach.
FEPA was created in 1957 to help professional Emergency Managers work to protect the people of Florida. I’m sure glad to see SO many different types of EM professionals from various backgrounds and different organizations.
Any of my FL peeps want to #Tweetup ?

February doesn’t look all that nice. Bitter cold weather here in Region-5.
Well, except for that quick stint at the upcoming FEPA conference in Florida.
This month’s activities include work in FEMA Region-9, Region-3, and of course Region-5
Hoping the weather is warm in Florida.

RIP Firefighter Tyler Doohan

I thought it was cold in Cleveland….whoa, it’s way colder here in Juneau!
More teaching today and tomorrow.
Stay warm peeps.
