After teaching at FEMA’s Emergency Management Institute (EMI) in the 2016 National Training and Exercise Symposium, I headed into Region-7 to be the closer keynote at the #CPESymposia.

Sharing the message of Public Information Officers (PIOs) and Public Affairs Officers (PAOs) and how they handle crisis.

Of course this includes a bit on one of my favorite topics – social media.

Best part? I might have done the #RunningManChallenge during the class. There *might be a video too.

Great to see a few familiar faces in the crowd too.

Instructors Kevin Sur and Justin Timberlake. Heh.

First week, I will be instructing FEMA’s National Emergency Management Executive Academy Program at EMI specifically on Crisis Communications, Public Information Officer, and Social Media. Then heading back to Ohio to teach a basic Public Information Officer’s Course and Joint Information Center/System course (G-290/291) in Summit County. R3 and R5 = Twofer in just the first week!

Second week, I will head back north to Michigan to teach social media at Michigan State University. Then the last half of the week spent in Chicago for meetings with various public safety officials including Chicago Fire.

Third week, we have a State of Ohio Emergency Management Instructors’ Workshop at Ohio EMA in Columbus. Good chance to chat and share successes with our staff – who are all good stewards of Emergency Management. Cbus baby!

Fourth week, I will be instructing in the big DHS/FEMA 2016 National Training and Exercise Symposium at EMI. Whohoo!!! Hoping to catch up to Brian Kamoie and Doc Lumpkins again. Then jetting off to Nebraska to teach Social Media and Crisis Communications in the statewide CPESymposia. R3 and R7 in the hizzouse!
