Craig Fugate keynote at #IAEM16
Packed house to listen to FEMA Administrator Craig Fugate here at the 2016 International Association of Emergency Managers annual conference in Savannah.
IMHO, I think it’s going to be “Craig unplugged.”

Sunday Comms
Sunday Comms:
(Pertaining to Hurricane Matthew operations) “…you can anticipate onward movement and integration into the operations supporting one of our impacted states – FL, GA, SC, or NC.”
Numerous Federal assets are deployed out.
Safe travels for those deployed/deploying out and I hope survivors have heeded all warnings of the bad weather are sheltered out of harms way.

I’m so happy right now.
Big mahalos to all the pros who have helped me through this process. I am fortunate to have your support in the course I created.
Yes indeed, this one is a big check mark off my career list.
Training at DCHSEMA #NatlPrep
Busy Monday morning instructing at the District of Columbia Homeland Security and Emergency Management.
I’m just glad to see so many partners in public safety participating.
Trust me, I’m glad to be instructing in the Emergency Operations Center too.
So many resources here like a busy 9-1-1 call center, Watch Desk, 3-1-1 call center, and Fusion Center.
Training and education will help everyone work cohesively together in an emarrrrrrrrrrrrrgency.
Happy #TalkLikeAPirateDay too.
My Sunday views #NatlPrep
Slightly different Sunday view for me.
Great discussion with USSS today.
Great to see many local, state, and Federal partner agencies involved in safety/security for everyone in September – National Preparedness Month.
As you know, preparedness is everyone’s responsibility.
We have the ability to better prepare our peeps for disasters or emergencies #NatlPrep #PrepareAthon #SaferOhio
“All I’m saying is that starting in Ohio and to the rest of the country, we have the ability to better prepare our peeps for disasters or emergencies.” – K. Sur
We all have outstanding communities in each of our 88 counties in Ohio. When they engage with numerous all-hazards public safety professionals, it becomes a whole community effort in preparedness. In essence, these are core programs that everyone can participate.
When the community gets involved, everyone wins.
So c’mon – get involved in your community.

Enhance your preparedness efforts by attending free local classes #NatlPrep #PrepareAthon
It’s still the third week of 2016 National Preparedness Month!
Trust me, you don’t need to wait for the earthquakes, and the poison arrows fall from the sky, and the pillars of Heaven (to) shake – just attend a few classes with local emergency management.
Don’t get frustrated…Preparedness is easy!
But seriously.
These classes can help better prepare you for many natural disasters, hazards, and/or common emergencies.
At the very least, they can detail what kind of actions will be taken by first responders in the response phase of the disaster.
In today’s class, we had a spirited discussion about MREs and preparedness kits. Even first responders and their respective families need emergency preparedness kits too.
Most of these short classes or day-long trainings are often free and scheduled well in advance. And if you can’t attend in-person trainings, there are many online classes available for no-cost on preparedness.
Yep, you guessed it, straight up good old networking with so many public safety pros.

Hamilton County All-Hazards NIMS ICS-300 class during #NatlPrep Month!
Part of being prepared is taking classes with your local public safety professionals.
Hamilton County EMA Emily Lakamp welcoming class
Today, Hamilton County EMA partnered with Ohio Emergency Management Agency to bring ICS-300: Intermediate ICS for Expanding Incidents. 3-day intensive course to talk about the basics of ICS and NIMS and how it applies to all public safety and everyone during an incident/event.
OEMA Instructor Kevin Sur breaking down PPD-5 and PPD-8 for the ICS-300 class
If I counted correctly, we have almost all ESFs represented today! #awesome
Training is key as we continue to push preparedness efforts throughout the county and state. Learning about capabilities is key in any disaster response.
Ohio EMA Southwest Regional Supervisor Phil Clayton addressing participants today
Glad to see everyone engaged today…esp on disaster response.
This afternoon, in the world of tabletop exercise disaster training, we will likely ruin Central City, decimate Columbiana County, and then trash the State of Columbia. Oh yeah, and of course flood Emerald City too.
