Thanks to the pros at Grady on their hospitality. As you may remember, Grady was one of the first health systems to treat Ebola patients here in the United States.
Grady works closely with their partners in health at the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Both agencies are in Atlanta, so it puts them in a very unique position to integrally work in specialized treatment in stopping this deadly outbreak.
Thanks again for the warm hospitality.
I swear, I take the weirdest vacations. Zombie prep anyone?
Thanks to the folks at the Center for Disease Control (CDC) for their most excellent hospitality.
Mahalos
Good to have Ohio Emergency Management Agency (OEMA) Assistant Director Sima Merick and OEMA Deputy Director Russ Decker welcome our PIO/SM class today at the state EOC.
After lunch, OEMA Public Information Officer (PIO) Jay Carey brief our attending PIOs here in the state Emergency Operations Center (EOC).
Working the PIO magic!
I had a GREAT time at the Hamilton County Emergency Operations Center aka the ROC.
Much mahalos to Barry and his crews for the hospitality.
Looking forward to returning in about a month to debut a new FEMA project.
I was honored to teach at the 2015 International Disaster Conference & Expo (IDCE) in New Orleans.
My first return to Louisiana since being deployed down here for Hurricane Katrina/Rita in 2005.
Happy Mardi Gras y’all!
Hope everyone is abiding by some of the trusted published safety information on Ebola.
Please use common sense peeps!
Lots of dedicated PIO peeps working the magic tonight.

“The State of Ohio Emergency Operations Center is participating in the annual power plant training” Photo cred: Ohio Emergency Management Agency, (Columbus) 09/23/14
It is an essential part of your plan…actually doing it!
This was the view of the State of Ohio Emergency Operations Center where numerous emergency management agencies across the state participated in a multi-agency all-hazards annual power plant training. This training was evaluated by FEMA Region-V.
See, even the professionals train too!
Keep up the great work!
Another great morning here at the State of Ohio Emergency Operations Center.
Various agencies from all over the state in attendance at today’s social media class.
Special thanks to Ohio EMA Assistant Director Sima Merick for the welcome message.
Now to break down more info and tools on how effective PIOs (Public Information Officers) or PAOs (Public Affair Officers) engage on social media.
Excited to be instructing a bunch of PIOs today.
Seriously, a pretty perfect morning here at the Emergency Operations Center.
Oh, and they have a gigantic sinkhole here which sounds pretty bad. EMA Director Keck will be briefing us this AM.
Sounds like the news has already caught wind of it and OEMA has briefed on the situation this AM.
