Presenting some social media magic here in Ashtabula
Did someone say “social media magic”? Heck yeah…and it’s right here in Ashtabula: the use of social media during disasters!
Making sure we cover the entire state, we hit Columbus yesterday and today, we are setup in the farthest NE corner of Ohio, Ashtabula County.
We are fortunate to have State of Ohio Emergency Management Agency (OEMA) PIO Tamara McBride (from Columbus) peek into the class and say hi to everyone.
Leveraging our current technologies during non-emergency times will help concrete our actions and increase our communications during disasters.
Looking forward to seeing some great progress and interaction in social media.
Additionally, it’s so nice to see old friends and colleagues from my past. Truly outstanding.
No matter wearing my flight helmet, my hospital shirt, my fire helmet, whatever….I’m just glad to see great friends again.
Correct typing starts early… #Tanker #Tender
No Tonka, according to the FEMA NIMS Typing, this is a Tender.
Ahem.
**Truth be told, I’ve mistakenly done this over the statewide radio. #oops
Cold Water Challenge aka IceBucketChallenge
So I was called out on the Cold Water Challenge by
1. Amanda Ball, Outreach Coordinator at MedFlight of Ohio
2. Mark Ramach, Retired Brook Park Fire Chief
3. Firefighter/Paramedic Andy Morales, Cleveland ARFF
4. Ken Ledford, Bedford Heights Fire Chief
Since Amanda was the first one to call me out, I have given her the nod to dump an entire cooler full of ice water on me.
Special thanks to Truck-2 on the assist.
So I’m calling out:
1. Erica Creech, Communications Manager of Cleveland Water
2. John O’Brien, Communications Specialist of Cuyahoga County Sheriffs
3. Gayle Celebreeze, Flight Nurse from University Hospitals MedEvac
4. Andrew Doyle, Firefighter Paramedic with Baltimore City Fire
You have 24-hours.
Starting now.
Hold the phone…literally!

With the weekend upon us, this should serve as your Friday public safety message to start the weekend.

Cold water challenge in a restricted area? No joy!
Since this is a restricted area, I just asked the commanding officer of the USCG station if I could do the Firefighter cold water challenge here under the Golden Gate Bridge…they said no.
Don’t worry, I’ll keep trying.

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.
