Get some shades for your Monday viewing

In case you didn’t know, tomorrow is the eclipse. Are you in the full path of the eclipse?


Now, it is not magic or some kind of weird UFO thing or even Chemtrails, it’s science!

Here’s how tomorrow’s eclipse will work.


Now that you know how it works, we will now touch on safety.

If you look at the sun without special protective safety glasses, you will likely see this.


Soooooooo PLEASE wear approved safety glasses designed for th August 21, 2017 Solar Eclipse.

No glasses? Forgot? Didn’t think you needed them? Don’t worry, you are not alone. Here’s a DIY solution using an old cereal box.

I truly hope we don’t see a bump in eye emergency calls to 9-1-1.


Be safe peeps!

Friday talks with Ohio EMA leadership

It was great to spend some time with Ohio EMA leadership yesterday.

Discussion on community resilience, task force deployments, Presidential Declarations, key initiatives, outreach, training, EMAC deployments, stakeholder engagement, public information officer, Emergency Management visibility, social media, Public Assistance, SBA loans, documentation and reimbursements, FEMA Administrator Craig Fugate, Public and Private partnerships…heck-we even touched on the buzz words for 2015: Climate change and Cyber.

For sure, lots of notes!

It is so great to hear OEMA Executive Director Sima Merick passionate about all facets of Emergency Management.

Also got a chance to hang with my Ohio EMA Training and Education peeps Lisa and Susan too. Solid discussion about the upcoming Mass Fatalities course (G-386), PIO Courses (G-290), JIC/JIS Courses (G-291), Intermediate Incident Command courses (ICS-300), and the Recovery from Disasters Course (G-270.4).

Lots of good free stuff upcoming from Ohio EMA!

BTW-If you did a double take on that first picture, yes sir Sur, #AlohaFridays are made for an Aloha shirt. Period. Also a historical note, Hawaii became the 50th state on August 21, 1959.

Don’t worry peeps, look closely as I had my Ohio pin on.

Have a great weekend!
