Change of plans this afternoon.
About to start a briefing with National Incident Management Team (IMAT) for response to southern Florida.
And yes, I am at home with T-cards on the wall and all C&GSFs briefing out.
Can you support the plan?!?
***********Update***********
Breaking news: I have been reassigned as the FEMA PIO to cover the Florida Keys.
More details to follow.
I had a great time with the Northeast Ohio Public Information Officers (NEO-PIOs) who sat for a quick down and dirty (DaD) Table Top Exercise (TTE) designed around on a social media (SM) module (MOD). OMG.
Various topics discussed:
Lots of fun esp various discussions on platforms and reach.
Public Information Specialist @ThingsToShea and Public Information Officer @TomsDarren work to craft specific emergency alert messages in the preparedness phase #NatlPrep
Heavy debate on the use of mass notification systems…
@ClevelandFire Public Information Officer Gray & @LakeCoHealth Public Information Officer Cole collaborating on preparedness messages specifically for Instagram & Vine #NatlPrep
…and their true reach/effectiveness of messaging.
Summit County Public Information Officer @jamesp501 discussing multi-platform information dissemination for preparedness & evacuation #NatlPrep
Discussion on simplicity and concise messaging for those we serve before, during, and after an emergency.
BAM – solid Tuesday afternoon with my peeps!
Yups, I can’t thank these ESF-15 characters enough.
(From L to R): Pollack, Cole, Sur, Gray, and Toms.
Mahalos my friends!
Spent the day reviewing and researching.
Digging into my C&GSF instructor books, all my position specific books as well as referencing my ICS-300 and ICS-400 manuals.
And for good measure, I also referenced my OSC, PSC, LSC, and LO instructor books too.
Yeah I know…geekish.
Doc Lumpkins would be proud (I think)
Glorious weekend indeed.
