Busy December for 5 and 3 and 9 but no on 10
After a busy November, let’s continue the push hard into December please!
This Wednesday, I’ll be headed to Michigan to teach with FEMA Region-5 on continuity.
Upon the return to Ohio, I’ll make the quick turnaround and head down to southern Ohio/West Virginia to teach ICS-300. A double serving of Region-5 and Region-3.
Then head to Fulton County, Ohio (Toledo area) to teach a Basic PIO course with my favorite PIOs in the biz. Back in Region-5 baby!
The Oregon trip was canceled so No Region-10 for me. Boooooooooooooooo. But ongoing through December, I have two priority special projects for R9 and R5 that need to close too. So no futzing around!
December summary: Yes on 5, 3, and 9…but no on 10.
I’m just hoping to spend some family time sometime. Happy holidays everyone!

Winter Storm Watch vs. Warning vs. Blizzard Warning
Avoid overexertion when shoveling snow.
Consider stretching before you begin shoveling….and PLEASE wear long pants!!!!!
Do you know the differences between Winter Storm Watch vs. Winter Storm Warning vs. Blizzard Warning?
Winter Storm Watch: There is a possibility of a storm occurring.
Winter Storm Warning: A storm is already taking place or is expected.
Blizzard Warning: Sustained winds or frequent gusts to 35 miles per hour or greater and considerable amounts of falling or blowing snow (reduced visibility to less than a quarter mile) are expected to prevail for a period of three hours or longer.
Listen to your NOAA Weather Radio for the latest news and weather reports.
@rusnivek
Time to check your NOAA weather radio
Bad weather? Cold Weather? Want to know the weather?
Good time to check the latest #OHWX via your NOAA Weather Radio now
And if you happen to be in the Cleveland area = 162.550mHz SAME#039035
The National Weather Service (NWS) provides local weather broadcasts via NOAA Weather Radio from more than 700 transmitters nationwide. NOAA Weather Radios provide continuous broadcasts of the latest weather information from local NWS offices.

This service operates 24 hours a day.

Can you use the oven to warm your house?
NEVER use your oven as a source of heat during the severe winter weather.
If you do not have heat, contact your local Red Cross chapter for a list of open warming stations/shelters.
Be smart and be safe!
@rusnivek
Mom! Can we play outside in the snow…please?!?!!?
Monitor/limit the amount of time kids spend outside in severe weather.
I know they think it’s fun, but do NOT let them play for hours in the cold.
Bundle up!
Do you know the differences between frostbite and hypothermia?
Frostbite: loss of feeling and white or pale appearance in extremities such as fingers, toes, ear lobes, and the tip of the nose. Get medical help immediately.
Hypothermia: uncontrollable shivering, memory loss, disorientation, incoherence, slurred speech, drowsiness, and apparent exhaustion. If symptoms of hypothermia are detected, get the victim to a warm location, remove wet clothing, warm the center of the body first and give warm, non-alcoholic beverages if the victim is conscious. Get medical help as soon as possible.
