Flying in February and definitely heading to…

February doesn’t look all that nice. Bitter cold weather here in Region-5.

Well, except for that quick stint at the upcoming FEPA conference in Florida.

This month’s activities include work in FEMA Region-9, Region-3, and of course Region-5

Hoping the weather is warm in Florida.

Whoa, it’s colder here in Juneau…

I thought it was cold in Cleveland….whoa, it’s way colder here in Juneau!

More teaching today and tomorrow.

Stay warm peeps.

Frozen and stuck in Region-5 in January

Posted on January 3, 2014 by rusnivek

C’mon January!

Man it’s cold…like icicles from the nose cold!

Maybe I should just shelter in place for the rest of the winter. Luckily, this month’s schedule only has me in Region-5.

If I think warm thoughts, that would make it better.

Hmmmm, that’s not working.

Training with the Department of Emergency Management in Florida

Posted on December 19, 2013 by rusnivek

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.
