Day-2 of IEMA’s G-775 whispering the word recovery all day
Day-2 of the G-775 course here at Logan County.
Talking about costs and importance of record keeping for recoup of services provided.
And yes, Rusty loves talking about recovery.
But truth be told, recovery is the hardest part of any disaster or emergency.
While not as sexy as response or preparedness or even protection – recovery needs a bit more visibility esp after a complex incident involving many partners in public safety.
Go ahead. Whisper the word recovery three times in the bathroom mirror.
Doooooeeeiiiittttt!

Day-2 of ICS-300 at Elmhurst Hospital
Day-2 of the ICS-300 course here at Elmhurst Hospital where we get to talk about a bunch of things like the Planning P, SMART Objectives, resource management, and of course demobilization!
Hearing groups report out on their findings and how they would interact with other agencies are critical to us in Emergency Management as we now know where there could be possible hiccups in coordination of responders.
Overall, a great packed class with tons of participation from everyone.
Soooooo out of curiousity, how many of you are coming back in February to attend the ICS-400 class with me?
Awwwwwwww yeah baby!
See you at the next big one.
Day-1 of ICS-300 at Elmhurst Hospital
Day-1 of our ICS-300 class at Elmhurst Hospital!
However, I am not sure about us teaching the childbirth part of the class.
I guess if you wanted to account for all resources, we would need a new T-card and check in process for the new kiddos. HA!
Great welcome message from the Elmhurst Fire Deputy Fire Chief and the Elmhurst EM Coordinator.
Great discussion from all agencies here including Fire, EMS, Police, Public Works, Hospital, EMS, Health Department, National Guard, and countless other agencies here.
Great partnerships from everyone as we discuss ongoing response and recovery efforts from various activities and incidents. Working together will increase our preparedness level and help our coordination esp when we spin up the county EOC.
Glad to see everyone here for class. And yes, don’t forget that #OnWednesdaysWeWearPink
Yeah yeah, suit up baby!
Reporting live from Elmhurst Hospital talking about NIMS and ICS~!
