If you are outside in #Cleveland today – I’d encourage you to dress accordingly or stay inside all day.
It’s waaay cold. #CLEWx #OHWx

I would suggest you stay warm and indoors.
It’s Saturday so maybe watch some TV.
December is always busy but let’s start the new year right – hello to January 2018!
In the first week, it’s paperwork and TPS reports to the max. As usual, we have yearly update classes that needs to be completed and mandatory inservice training. Fun stuff. 🤢
Second week, I’ll be headed to FEMA’s Emergency Management Institute! I better pick out my favorite ties. Hope to see many of you on campus.
Hold on to your hats because in the third week, I’ll be teaching the exciting ICS-400: Advanced ICS for Command and General Staff – complex incidents. I know you want in.
And the fourth week, I head far west to present Irma/Maria lessons learned with leaders in the disaster recovery industry and Emergency Management community (including Tim Manning) in a Response/Recovery conference.
It’s Christmas Eve so I’m tracking a special guest today.

Santa Claus is coming to town.

Let’s be honest…at 0300, you aren’t that good.
You hungry hangry.
You are NOT performing at 100% – likely you are performing at 40%.
This is exactly why we want you to build relationships in bright lights classroom time.
Trust me: The first time to meet someone is not at the start of an emergency/disaster.

If you’ve been in an ICS class with me, you know.
I’m talking a ton about building relationships and emergency management networking today.
Emergencies and disasters don’t take holidays. Neither do we.
Train like you fight.
