Disasters don’t take holidays…neither do we.
The entire team Branch 5 Division A is here!
Let’s do this.

Happy Easter Sunday!
Happy Easter everyone!
Sadly, I gotta work this holiday. Don’t worry, I’m munching on my gourmet meal – an egg salad sandwich here at the airport.
Awaiting for my hop to Region-8! (<—see what I did there)
OMG – Hello January 2015!
Hello 2015! After a nice 2014 holiday season, 2015 seems to be filling up fast.
First few weeks include special projects in with FEMA Region-9 and Region-5. In fact, next week I have to update a few friends at the White House (I better turn my spell Check on). Third and fourth week will be NIMS/ICS training in southern Ohio.
Sometime in January, I should complete my special commerce project for my Ohio peeps. All-hazards right?
Happy New Year everyone – wishing you a prosperous 2015!
Busy December for 5 and 3 and 9 but no on 10
After a busy November, let’s continue the push hard into December please!
This Wednesday, I’ll be headed to Michigan to teach with FEMA Region-5 on continuity.
Upon the return to Ohio, I’ll make the quick turnaround and head down to southern Ohio/West Virginia to teach ICS-300. A double serving of Region-5 and Region-3.
Then head to Fulton County, Ohio (Toledo area) to teach a Basic PIO course with my favorite PIOs in the biz. Back in Region-5 baby!
The Oregon trip was canceled so No Region-10 for me. Boooooooooooooooo. But ongoing through December, I have two priority special projects for R9 and R5 that need to close too. So no futzing around!
December summary: Yes on 5, 3, and 9…but no on 10.
I’m just hoping to spend some family time sometime. Happy holidays everyone!
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas…
Did I make the nice list? #CheckMyTwitter
Look who I found in the Emergency Operations Center…
I wonder if I made his “nice” list.
Most likely not.
Happy holidays everyone!

Whether on furlough or holiday, this is a perfect time to…
Whether on a holiday (Columbus Day) or Federal mandatory furlough, today is a great day to make and update/check your Emergency Supply Kit.
What to include? What to keep? What to have?
Some items you want to include in your kit are:
- Bottled water for you for 3 days.
- Food for you for 3 days.
- Two working flashlights.
- A battery-powered AM/FM/NOAA Weather radio.
- Toilet paper.
- A whistle to notify/warn others.
- First Aid Kit.
- Duct tape.
- Extra cell phone charger.
And I’d bet you have most of these items around your house ready to go.
So gather your things and get ready…because I guarantee you these few things will help you during the next a disaster or emergency.
