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.

Statewide tornado siren test today at 0950. Find out what to do here #OHWX
It’s 2014 National Severe Weather Awareness Week from March 2nd through March 8th.
Today, the state of Ohio will be testing all emergency alert sirens at 9:50 a.m.
***Do not be alarmed, it is only a test.***
It would also be a good time to practice your emergency procedures if a tornado siren/warning goes off.
Do you know the differences between a Tornado Watch vs a Tornado Warning?
Tornado Watch: Issued by the NWS when conditions are favorable for the development of tornadoes. Be prepared to move to a safe place if weather conditions worsen. Stay tuned to weather updates.
Tornado Warning: Issued by the NWS when a tornado is imminent or occurring. A warning may be issued when a tornado is indicated by Doppler radar or sighted by trained spotters. Seek safe shelter immediately.
- If a tornado has been spotted, seek shelter immediately. If a tornado warning is issued for your area, do not stop to take pictures or shoot video. Continue to listen to a NOAA Weather Radio or local media newscasts for up-to-date weather and emergency information.
- NEVER touch downed power lines or objects in contact with downed power lines and report electrical hazards to the utility company.
- Check for injuries. Do not attempt to move seriously injured people unless they are in immediate danger of further injury.
- Be careful of debris such as damaged structures, exposed nails and broken glass.
Stay safe out there peeps!

Do not break the law while driving in severe weather #OHWX

Training with the Department of Emergency Management in Florida
Got a chance to meet and talk serious DHS/FEMA Emergency Management training today with the State of Florida Department of Emergency Management Director Bryan Koon and Osceola County Emergency Management Director Richard Collins.
Just happy to spend a quick week in central Florida region.
Additionally, the central Florida region emergency management professionals are doing a solid job working together with their approach in all-hazards prevention, response, and recovery.
