Always keep your wits about you!
Maintaining good situational awareness is critical for any professional. So to help illustrate this, I submit this Thursday gem.
I’d make some sharp joke about between two ferns…
I was out patrolling and arrested a street shark…you know, just some dorsal profiling…
No lie, he thought I was jawsome….
OK OK OK…I’m here all night!
Be safe my peeps and maintain good situational awareness!
And for the second disaster trick, this picture….
IT AIN’T REAL!!!
Don’t be a dingbat, stop sharing this fake picture during disasters and/or flooding.
Aaaaaand yes, an easy twofer here too: TURN AROUND, DON’T DROWN!!!
Be a good steward of social media information.
Since it’s the start of 2018’s Shark Week, I wanted to share with you one of my more favorite shark pictures.
Again, this isn’t real.
Don’t be a chump, during disasters or flooding, stop sharing this picture.
Did someone say SharkWeek?!?
This week, I will share my favorite FAKE disaster shark pictures. Awwww yeah baby.
So this week, get your chomps on!
FEMA Region V Administrator James Joseph was in Washington DC today for the Youth Preparedness Council at Red Cross HQ.
Great to see Ready.Gov partnering with everyone on today’s events.
Additionally, download the free Prepare with Pedro workbook for kids here.
Status check! 10 fingers and 10 toes?
Did you follow all fireworks safety directions? I hope so.
It’s only Thursday so back to work!
July is going to be busy as we launch into 3Q 2018!
First week: full of assessments, paperwork, skills verification, and maybe a big press conference.
Second week: Another fun ICS-300 class. This time, lots to discuss in the TTX.
Third week: county functional exercises and a last minute debris management course.
Fourth week: full scale county exercises at the Emergency Operations Center.
Likely some big news as we add on to the team.
Stay safe everyone!
Starting game-4 of the 2018 NBA Finals in Cleveland, Ohio-
That’s right, let’s get some IAP action on for the Cleveland Cavaliers vs the Golden State Warriors!
Like all good Emergency Management actions – all briefings done and documents like the comprehensive IAP helps bring everyone together on the same operational plan.
As field PIOs, we are out and about during the game.
Half time inside FanFest was quite busy.
Lots of interesting people out and about.
Glad to see so many Cleveland Cavaliers’ fans out here to support the home team.
Even ran into a few media folks from California as well as locals who were out supporting the teams too.
Sur and Livingston
In the end, the final outcome of the game was not so fun…
…but incredibly proud to work with so many all-hazards partners in public safety for the end of the 2018 NBA Finals.
Glad to be supporting solid professionals.
