Leading off another Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Ohio Emergency Management Agency (OEMA) G-0291: Joint Information System / Joint Information Center Planning for Tribal, State, and Local PIOs.
We have a few new additions to our class – who hail from across Ohio, West Virginia, and Virginia.
Glad to have so many pros with us in class…esp for #AlohaFriday – yeah baby!
PC: J. Beckett
Always an Aloha shirt on Fridays.
Lots of group work and discussion as everyone contributes information to better their communities.
It is helpful because our participants have diverse backgrounds.
Almost all Emergency Support Functions (ESFs) were represented.
This allowed us to have an in-depth discussion and think outside the box to solve various in class table top exercises.
Instructors we able to facilitate discussion among groups providing the opportunity to enhance their response with immediate communication strategies and tactics for emergency notification.
Also lots of discussion of the benefits and pitfalls of the JIC vs the JIS.
Additionally, the class wanted to see a few pictures from our Joint Information Center (JIC) during the 2016 RNC (2016 Republican National Convention).
We obliged and showed a few pictures.
Glad to have the chance to present before the PIOs from Athens County and beyond.
Special thanks to Dan in coordinating this training with Ohio Emergency Management Agency (OEMA) and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
Proud to have so many different agencies represented.
Looking forward to working with each of these PIOs in a JIC!
15 years ago. Things were a bit different.

Hey Kelly, did you know, I’m still being called “Kaito”?
Kelly and Kaito
While some of our uniforms or missions or jobs have changed, we will never forget.
Glad to have you around Joe P.
Miss you Bill and Kel.
Probably a good time to share reminders on taking pictures DURING an emergency. Like this guy.
This was from the Crocker Park gas explosion from March 2016.
Look-just make sure you are aware of the seriousness of the incident. This one was serious.
IMHO, I think he might have been standing a bit close huh?
For the entire video, check out the WEWS news story here.
Reminds me of the 2002 Libby x Lee gas explosion I was at.
Be safe peeps!
Secret project this morning with lots of smiles…
Lots of holiday cheer…
All for this…
Ohhh yeah, the #MannequinChallenge
Outstanding work to all Cleveland public safety forces!
Lots of planning at the Cleveland Fire Training Academy today.
Special thanks to the lads at Engine-30 for supporting.
2016 World Series Game-7: Chicago Cubs vs Cleveland Indians.
Look, let’s keep it simple for the final game.
Let’s hope for a solid game from both teams – It’s been quite a series so may the best team win.
Indeed both teams are worthy of being crowned the 2016 World Series Champions.
Most importantly, I hope for all celebrations to remain calm and peaceful.
For the sake of all the public safety professionals working, celebrate responsibly.
And don’t forget to scream #GoTribe #Windians and #RallyTogether
