Statement from @rusnivek
I am saddened by the horrific shooting at the US Naval Yard in Washington DC. My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone impacted by this senseless tragedy, especially the families and loved ones of those killed and injured. As public safety professionals continue to respond to this tragic event, I hope that justice will be served and the threat mitigated.

Shelter in place? #NATLPREP
Here’s some quick tips to Shelter-in-place:
- Bring your family and pets inside.
- Lock doors, close windows, air vents and fireplace dampers.
- Turn off fans, air conditioning and forced air heating systems.
- Take your emergency supply kit unless you have reason to believe it has been contaminated.
- Go into an interior room with few windows, if possible.
- Seal all windows, doors and air vents with 2-4 mil. thick plastic sheeting and duct tape. Consider measuring and cutting the sheeting in advance to save time
- Cut the plastic sheeting several inches wider than the openings and label each sheet.
- Duct tape plastic at corners first and then tape down all edges.
- Be prepared to improvise and use what you have on hand to seal gaps so that you create a barrier between yourself and any contamination.

Remembering September 11th #September11 #NeverForget
I remember it clearly on September 11, 2001. I received a call from Cleveland Hopkins Airport Officials notifying me that Cleveland Center – Air Traffic Control (ATC) has identified United Airlines Flight-93. UAL Flight-93 was making the turn over Cleveland airspace…
Since the September 11th attacks, we have seen exceptional models of response and preparedness all around us. We will remember the heroism and dedicate our commitment to preparedness for thousands of people under our protection.
Remember those lost.
Honor those who saved.
Continued vigilance is only path to our American Freedoms.

Do you know the differences between Heat stroke vs Heat Exhaustion vs Heat Cramps? #NATLPREP
Do you know the differences between Heat stroke vs Heat Exhaustion vs Heat Cramps?
Heat stroke (also referred to as “Sun Stroke”): degrades the body’s temperature control system, which regulates perspiration. A victim experiencing heat stroke can suffer brain damage or death if they do not receive proper medical care.
Heat Exhaustion: typically occurs when people overexert themselves in hot, humid weather conditions. Heat exhaustion causes an increase in blood flow to the skin, resulting in a deprivation of blood in the vital organs. If untreated, heat exhaustion may cause a victim to suffer heat stroke.
Heat Cramps: are muscular pains and spasms due to heavy exertion. Although heat cramps are non-life threatening, they are often a precursor to more serious heat-related health concerns.
