It’s Monday…but I think I found my favorite MRE.

Special thanks to my peeps at DHS/FEMA USAR Ohio Task Force-1.
October was great but a busy November is here!
First week, I’ll be supporting the Cleveland PIOs during the 2016 World Series. Later in the week, I’ll be in southern Ohio teaching ICS-400 in Belmont County (Ohio).
Second week will be a few social media classes in SE Georgia who are still in recovery operations from Hurricane Matthew.
Third week will be all Arizona.
And then the Fourth week will some Thanksgiving fun.

Who’s excited for Turkey in November? Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
And for tonight’s World Series Game-6 Cubs vs Indians: #GoTribe #RallyTogether #Windians
Happy National Preparedness month! The focus during this second week is on preparing friends and family for different emergencies.

Showcasing the skills of local first responders are incredibly important to adults AND kids. And sharing important information (like a Family Emergency Communications Plan) with first responders is critical.

National Preparedness Month that promotes creating family emergency communications plans.
Often times, we overlook explaining what actually happens during an emergency.

So take the time to explain to your kids that during an emergency, ALL first responders are there to help. And of course, don’t forget to teach your children to dial 9-1-1.

Reminder: When teaching children to call 9-1-1, do not verbally say “Nine-Eleven” as there is not an eleven button on the phone.
Do it today!

“Don’t Wait. Communicate. Make Your Emergency Plan Today.”
Like me, are you using the Greater Cleveland Rapid Transit Authority (GCRTA) to get to downtown Cleveland?
Here’s their map and information on their downtown stops.
Also, you can subscribe FOR FREE to their Commuter Alerts program here.
I have found their social media team is very responsive to inquiries. Follow them on Twitter: @GCRTA
BTW-If you happen to see me, say hi and let’s take a #selfie!
Got a chance to spend a few with the Blue Angels.

And yes, Fat Albert was there.

As you may already know, the Blue Angels are my favorite performance team.

The do a great job in highlighting and promoting other team members like all the ground support staff and technicians.

Photo cred: USN Blue Angels
And of course Fat Albert too.
Note: Absent in the class seven aircraft lineup is Blue Angel #6 (opposing solo) – RIP Capt Kuss.

They had some issues with the afterburners in #7 so they were doing some extra testing on the ramp. Check out the video:
Super loud huh? #awesome
Glad to see so many out there supporting the best aerial jet performance team.
EMS call – yes!
faster – Faster – FASTER!!!!
But I am sure this GoPro footage is being reviewed by all the bosses.
I can’t image that they’d be happy to see this.
Also, that siren is weird too.
Just keep in mind, if EMS doesn’t even make it to the scene because of their own reckless crash, who will treat the patient?
Duh.
Safety first peeps.
Here for the class today. Numerous all-hazards responders including US Department of Interior, Bureau of Land and Natural Resources (BLNR), US Forestry Service, FireAttack T-1/2 AHIMTs, local law enforcement, infrastructure, utilities, public safety comms, PIOs, healthcare, Tribal agencies, and Emergency Management professionals from South Dakota.

Nothing gets in the way of good training!

In breaking for lunch just now, participants asked if the fella over there with the hella good hair had any Taylor Swift.
Yes, I’m a very accommodating instructor – no problem!

Reporting live from the EOC…FEMA Region-8 baby!
