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!

TGI-Friday in this second week in 2014 National Preparedness Month.

“Be Disaster Aware, Take Action to Prepare”

What a week!

This week’s theme is consistent with FEMA’s National Preparedness Campaign: Know How To plan for specific needs before a Disaster.

#12: Finding alternative solutions to charge your cell phone…like charging it with a simple 9-volt battery (video) #NatlPrep #Prepared2014

All you need is your phone, cig plug cable, 9-volt battery, and a simple key.

MacGyver your stuff up!

By learning alternate ways to deal with power problems, you can easily have uninterrupted cell phone service and power while staying in close communications with your family.

So be creative peeps…and go and find a few 9-volt batteries and test this out.

February doesn’t look all that nice. Bitter cold weather here in Region-5.

Well, except for that quick stint at the upcoming FEPA conference in Florida.

This month’s activities include work in FEMA Region-9, Region-3, and of course Region-5

Hoping the weather is warm in Florida.

Schnikies – it’s December.

And my assignment card seems to be fairly full. This month I’ll be in FEMA Region 10, 8, 9, 3, and of course Region-5.

Also this month, I should be submitting my paperwork for my FEMA Professional Continuity Practioner’s certification.

Looking forward to the change of scenery with my travels this month. As always, any peeps want to catch up or #Tweetup, let me know.

Happy holidays everyone!
