Day-4 of the FEMA MPIO #PIO

Posted on January 11, 2018 by rusnivek

Day-4 of the Master PIO Program we talked a bunch about research and resources.

Which got me thinking about the rise of social media.

Because of my work, I certainly believe that my colleagues ~~want~~ expect me to write about social media.

Totes #OMG

It’s definitely pink – not salmon. PC: AC Bosso

Yes, indeed #WeWearSalmon #WeWearPinkOnWedesdays

Rest assured, there is lots of discussion about TV news media.

But more importantly, we are all enhancing our PIO networks in our FEMA region

Day-2 of the 2018 FEMA Master PIO (Public Information Officer) Program.

And yes, it’s a beautiful day here on my favorite campus.

Super stoked to chat with Wendy Walsh about new initiatives in higher education and others about more training opportunities here.

Stay frosty my friends!

And stop texting and concentrate on walking!

Day-1 of the 2018 FEMA Master #PIO Course

Posted on January 8, 2018 by rusnivek

Day-1 of the 2018 FEMA Master PIO (Public Information Officer) Program.

Obv at my favorite location: FEMA’s Emergency Management Institute.

Lots of super smart people in class from across the country including South Carolina, Florida, Ohio, Colorado, Oklahoma, Missouri, Maryland, Deleware, Texas, Indiana, Arizona, and Alaska. Whoa Nellie!

Solid discussion on public information, public involvement, strategic thinking, mission/goals, priorities, capabilities, solutions, communities vs tribes, NIMS/ICS, ESF-15, alert notification thresholds, trusted source of verified information, serotonin, public fears in 2017, hope, trust, stability, compassion, and most importantly, PIO networking/sharing of ideas.

Glad I wore a tie.

Apparently they know I tweet so shhhhhh. I have to pay attention.
