More interviews during our Damage Assistance process. Today, we’re in Rockford (Winnebago County).

It’s just three letters. That’s it.

C’mon.

Your 2024 Democratic National Convention Joint Information Center team!

Posted on July 24, 2024 by rusnivek

I am honored to lead this Joint Information Center (JIC) with the US Secret Service.

I am incredibly thankful for everyone who participated with us from local, county, state, and Federal partners. Welcome to Illinois and the City of Chicago!

2024 Democratic National Convention Joint Information Center

Lots of dangers with these types of National Special Security Events (NSSEs), but through a well coordinated system with highly trained individuals,

Trust me, it took many months of introductions, planning, networking, scheduling, coordinating, and of course collaborating with our most trusted partners from across the country.

I’ve said it before, but it takes a certain skillset to be the agency’s PIO. No day is ever alike.

And no incident or event will ever be the same. Nothing is ever the same.

Proud of the work that was done this week to keep everyone safe.

Reporting live from the 2024 DNC’s Joint Information Center…

Posted on July 18, 2024 by rusnivek

It’s hot! But we’re tracking it.

Your favorite PIO is popping the national hit.

Live spot with AccuWeather on the HeatWave here in the Midwest.

IEMA-OHS Director Alicia Tate-Nadeau on the update on weather safety.

Doing live interviews is tougher than it seems…esp having to do with the heat in the Midwest.

Here’ are a few tips that you can use.

Wear loose, lightweight, and light-colored clothing

Stay in the shade as much as possible.

Keep shades/blinds drawn.

Avoid using the oven.

Take frequent showers to stay cool.

Use cool/wet towels to cool off

Visit public cooling centers.

Use your local public pool.

Visit an indoor mall.

Take in a new movie at the movie theater.

Stay cool my friends!

The BEAST in Chicago

Posted on June 27, 2024 by rusnivek

Some days, I get to see cool things….

Because of the work we will be doing with the US Secret Service, got to be up close and personal with the Beast.

This is the US Presidential limo that takes POTUS around.

As you can probably tell, it’s a bit more fortified than other limos….and protected from stuff.

Additionally, they brought a few support vehicles too. All the prep for the upcoming National Special Security Event (NSSE) with the 2024 Democratic National Convention here in Chicago.
