Flushable wipes are good for everyone at every end! #NatlPrep
Moist paper toilet goods for your family’s emergency preparedness kit? Yes please!
Flushable towelettes are a great substitute for plain dry toilet paper for all your family including kids & elderly #NatlPrep
Make sure all ends are OK during a disaster.
Trust me, being uncomfortable during a disaster is not fun…so #PlanAhead
PIO briefings after PIO briefings after PIO briefings…
We did brief after brief after brief…
…we planned for tough interviews and challenging questions from reporters from all over the state.
We even talked about national news media and how in sync we need to be with the FEMA Joint Information Center.
Put me in coach – I’m ready!
Don’t keep your family in the dark about your plans! #NatlPrep
Help your family prepare well before an emergency like simple tools like flashlights.
Don’t leave your family in the dark! #PlanAhead by purchasing flashlights early. Last minute run to the store will yield nothing. #NatlPrep
Make sure your family has all the tools they need to weather the storm or emergency (<–see what I did there?)
Be the beacon of light in your family on preparedness.
Even in a disaster, you can be courteous #Irma
See, even in a disaster, people can be courteous.
Small things like this for your team’s safety is totes important.
Reporting live from the middle of Irma…
A great resource in the community? City council? Start with your Safety Chairperson #NatlPrep
No matter where you are, big or small, your city council is a great place to start to learn more about your community.
Engage your community’s council members & safety committee chairperson.They can provide valuable insight to emergency plans #NatlPrep
@rusnivek and my city’s Safety Committee Chair
It is highly likely that they are active members of the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) too. Whoop whoop!
For more information, check out www.Ready.Gov‘s free info on CERT here.
Remembering lives lost on September 11
Taking a pause this morning to remember the lives lost on this day in 2001.
We must remain vigilant in our efforts to safeguard our country.
Learn more about emergency? Disaster? In your community?!? #NatlPrep
Many local communities provide free training! Yes, my favorite four-letter word. F-R-E-E
Plan to attend classes to learn more about how your community is making a difference in emergency disaster preparedness & response #NatlPrep
I do tons of training, and Community Emergency Response Training (CERT) is a great place to start to learn what to do in an emergency. Best part? Almost all the training is offered free to many communities across this great nation.
#PlanAhead and learn good stuff!
What?!? Where are the PIOs briefing now? #Irma #famous
Late night briefing….in the laundry room.
Yes, it’s true. The “glorious” life of a Public Information Officer.
JIC Manager, Media Relations Manager, News Desk Specs, and PIOs – bring it in!
