No matter how bad it snows, never park in front of a hydrant. Help out your local Fire Department
Per the Ohio Revised Code 4511.68 Parking – Prohibited acts: No person shall stand or park a trackless trolley or vehicle, within ten feet of a fire hydrant.

Know the differences between frostbite and hypothermia. Keep warm!
Frostbite: loss of feeling and white or pale appearance in extremities such as fingers, toes, ear lobes, and the tip of the nose. Get medical help immediately.
Hypothermia: uncontrollable shivering, memory loss, disorientation, incoherence, slurred speech, drowsiness, and apparent exhaustion. If symptoms of hypothermia are detected, get the victim to a warm location, remove wet clothing, warm the center of the body first and give warm, non-alcoholic beverages if the victim is conscious. Get medical help as soon as possible.
Just because it’s clear and sunny, does not mean it is warm outside.
Bundle up peeps!

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.

Possible deployment: Philippines
City: Guiuan, Eastern Samar
Flight Plan: CLE – JFK – Manila – Guiuan (Manila to Guiuan via C-130)
Duration: 10-days

At this time, I have declined the deployment with the Incident Response Team citing safety concerns with the various Landing Zones (LZ), Logistics escorts, coordination with the Philippine Military, and security of the Base of Operations (BoO).
Sigh.
As the situation continues to evolve, there may be other deployments to bring in resources to stabilize this region which has been badly damaged by the Typhoon/Hurricane.
However, I still encourage all of you to consider giving monetary donations to international agencies to support the relief efforts.

Alright alright….I’ll pack my helo stuff.

I probably should pack some comms too.
This bag is going to get heavy real quick.
(Yeah I know, I look like a dork)
