This course is also very valuable to support upcoming Full Scale Exercise Vigilant Guard with the National Guard too.

Facebook +Shaka + rusnivek + VR = ?

Sometimes I get to do some cool things.


My friends at Facebook wanted to showcase their virtual reality (VR) stuff with me.

Shaka + LIKE + @rusnivek

Virtual reality goggles? Yep. The possibilities on Facebook Messenger/chat/meetings are endless.

Software has some inherent challenges esp with the shortfall of hardware proliferation and consistency. Bandwidth issues and requirements are tough enough to manage for reasonable VR interaction and usage.

But overall, some neeto VR stuff.

See, I told you VR is closer than you think.

Without STUFF, Operations can’t do STUFF #Logistics

Thinking about who will be attending my Incident Management Team (IMT) Logistics Section Chief (LSC) Course in February. And as usual, lots of my Emergency Response peeps ask about why do I even care about Logistics esp when most of the work is done by Operations.

Let me break this down for you: Without STUFF, Operations can’t do STUFF. Logistics are the ones to get you STUFF.

Look, I know you need stuff to do stuff. We all do. But the people in Logistics really make magic happen.

That’s why the FEMA EMI IMT LSC course is so important to the success of any planned event, disaster, or emergency. 

Logistics really do make the world go round.

Sounds like SnapChat is getting sued by Eye Bobs.

I guess I can kinda see it, but they are in a total different business right?

Well, kinda. Hardware is sorta the same.

TMZ was the first one to post the story. Direct link to their story here.

BTW-if you see the Spectacles machine, LMK. I want one.

Since it’s quiet in the office today, I’ve been assessing a few new kid preparedness and teaching tools.


Do you think Melissa has one on “Hurricane Warning” too?

Teach your kids about being safe and heeding all warnings from your local National Weather Service (NWS) office, Emergency Management officials, and public safety professionals.
