Starting out – NIMS and ICS online classes
If you are getting started in taking a few National Incident Management System (NIMS) / Incident Command System (ICS) classes, you’ve come to the right place! Best part about the classes below? They are all online, available 24/7/365, and can be done for free.
Here’s a list of recommended Incident Command System (ICS) classes according to the 2008 requirements.
1. ICS-100.b: Introduction to the Incident Command System (ICS)
2. ICS-700.a: National Incident Management System (NIMS) An Introduction
3. ICS-200.b: ICS for Single Resource and Initial Action Incidents
4. ICS-800.b: National Response Framework, An Introduction
After you complete the courses above, let me know so I can recommend the next steps in training.
BTW-You even get a certificate when you successfully complete the above class and post tests.
Various free classes on disaster preparedness #NatlPrep #Prepared2014
Solid Monday here as we lead into the second week of 2014 National Preparedness Month!
“Be Disaster Aware, Take Action to Prepare”
No Mundays here!
This week’s theme is consistent with FEMA’s National Preparedness Campaign: Know How To plan for specific needs before a Disaster.
#8: Do not be afraid to attend ongoing free training classes on preparedness
#NatlPrep #Prepared2014
Your local, state, and Federal Emergency Managers are always providing free classes on preparedness and what to do during/after a disaster.
In a few of these courses, your local emergency officials help review your plans for specific items needed after a disaster. As an example, if you live in Ohio, you’d want to have warm blankets, mittens, etc….for your vehicle preparedness kit – esp during the cold winter right? Plan for your specific needs!
So taking classes…totally important right?!?
In fact, I’m sitting in a class today in FEMA Region-III (Maryland).
(Shhhhh! I’m trying to pay attention)
Life long learning peeps!
September assignments to R5 & R3 – Also #NatlPrep #Prepared2014
After hopping around Region V in August, I’ll be able to stretch out a bit and swing east into Region-3. The September intel training class in DC will be rescheduled and (hoping that it’ll) get moved to the Pentagon.
At this time, it is Pennsylvania, Maryland, and back in Ohio for September.
The outlook for October has a wider spread as I have been assigned to Region-V, Region-IV, and Region-III.
Keep smiling because it’s 2014 National Preparedness Month! (MY FAVORITE MONTH)
Made the evening news in Wisconsin
Made the news in Wisconsin.
Looks like I’m going to owe many many root beer floats when I get back to Ohio.
Presenting at PEMA statewide conference in September
Looks like I’ll be presenting Public Information Officer (PIO) / Social Media stuff at the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency (PEMA) statewide conference in September.

Will I see you there?
Solid group in my ICS-300 class at Washington County
Had a solid day teaching ICS-300 Intermediate ICS for Expanding Incidents to various public safety professionals at Washington County EMA.
Solid group hailing from several different functional groups.
I really enjoy classes that have a good mix of participants. It makes the class WAY more interesting and allows more input into exercises during class.
Remember: At 0300, I’m not pretty. At 0300, you are not pretty. Best time to get to know each other is under bright lights and calm setting…like now. Learn what is important to each agency so that you can better support their mission and goals during a disaster or emergency.

Teaching ICS-400 on behalf of Ohio EMA at Seville Guilford Fire Department
Breaking down another ICS-400 class today at Seville Guilford Fire Department.
Teaching on behalf of Ohio Emergency Management Agency (OEMA) in Ohio Department of Public Safety (ODPS) always brings a good mix of participants from all over the state. Fairly large crowd this morning which was filled with a bunch of great interactions.
Looking forward to the afternoon session. Bring on the coffee!

Who has to teach ICS class? Who has a fever?
Seriously, what the hell did I get?
And is that a fever?
I can’t remember the last time I was sick.
Buckle up Buttercup – No time to get sick now Dr. Jones! Good grief.
Gotta teach tomorrow too!

A fun disaster class…on accountability #NIMS
To the untrained eye, they just look like toys.
To Incident Commanders, this is an incredibly valuable tool that provides operational and tactical response accountability.
To bring this all-hazards accountability course to your location, just let me know.
Yep, I’m making classes about disasters fun again!
