16 years have passed since that terrible morning that N626MB went down.
We lost Flight Nurse Kelly Conti and Pilot Bill Spence.
I bet they are still keeping a watchful eye on all of us.

Day-2 of ICS…more than just a emergency response in your ORV
Day-2 of our ICS-400: Advanced ICS for Command and General Staff.
Fun stuff esp since many of our participants come from various backgrounds in response/recovery. Glad to see interaction and lotsa engagement between providers.
This is the crux of these types of emergency management classes. Aside from learning a bunch of things, in class, you easily build relationships for life.
Starting another ICS-400: Advanced ICS
Another solid start to a fun ICS-400: Advanced Incident Command System for Command and General Staff course.
Looking forward to expanding on the concepts in ICS-300 and enhancing it with some of my most recent disaster deployments Hurricane Irma and Hurricane Maria.

A quick picture from Selma in March of 1965
No matter the race, creed, color, or religion – the Aloha spirit is everywhere.
Me? I dedicate my 2018 day of service to anyone in the #USA 🇺🇸…because I am working.
I know many of you are working today, away from your family. Your service to your community is of huge value to generations to come. Thank you for your service.
Stay safe & warm peeps on this #MLKDay

Day-4 of the FEMA MPIO #PIO
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

And stop texting and concentrate on walking!
Day-1 of the 2018 FEMA Master #PIO Course
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.

Sunday feels #sunset
Spending this Sunday with my head in the clouds.
Honestly, this first week has me a bit underwater already.
Looking for some inspiration while trying to get a grasp on 2018.
Where is @rusnivek?
