Day-2 as the new state PIO

Roaring start today as we roll into day-2!

Early bird gets the worm right?

Ready to start briefing. Thank goodness for outgoing PIO Rebecca Clark.

Rebecca has transitioned to lead the state’s effort with the fairs in Springfield and also the DuQuoin State Fair.

First week, taking it all in at the State Emergency Operations Center (SEOC).

So much to learn as Illinois does things a bit different. Nothing bad, just gotta get used to the new action(s).

Glad to be part of the senior staff here at IEMA.

Reporting live from the State Emergency Operations Center in beautiful Springfield, Illinois….
