Reporting live from the front of the class…
Setting up all the fun today for our Basic PIO course and JIC/JIS course.
Both these FEMA courses are cornerstone classes that all external affairs professionals should take. Additionally, the emergency management/disaster response networking opportunities are outstanding.
And yes, we are going to do some on camera interviews too.
Bring your A-game.
Hope to see you in my class tomorrow.
Doing some PIO camera work today. Don’t be nervous!
Even for the most experienced professional, on camera interviews are challenging, but the more you do them, the easier it gets. Additionally, we were fortunate to have several participants with past media (TV and newspaper) experiences to share with the class too.
Social media? You bet! We talked a ton about SnapChat too.
Also had some fun with FacebookLive.
On the spot interviews showcasing the new Quint.
Great class!
Detailed to this station! Who is ready for some PIO training?!?
But first, lemme go on a run.
Afternoon will be filled with Crisis Communications and mock interviews.
Presenting today at the 2016 County Engineers Association of Ohio Annual Conference!
Public Information stuff as well as some Communications Strategies for government officials.
I’ll try not to dance on stage today.
Maybe.
Looks like it’s going to be a fun class!
Slight delayed as I was OCONUS – but December is here! December is here!
First week, I’ll be presenting at the 2016 County Engineers Association of Ohio’s Annual Winter Conference. I’ll then be on a special detail to the Blue Springs Police Department (Missouri). And then teaching some social media in Topeka for the State of Kansas Emergency Management. Region-7 baby!
Second week, I’ll be back at the State of Colorado’s Emergency Operations Center to teach the new FEMA/NDPTC social media tools and techniques course. Region-8 is great!
Third week, I’ll head down to Region-6 to Baton Rouge to teach another FEMA/NDPTC social media tools and techniques course.
And then the fourth week, I’ll be in southern Ohio teaching a detailed public information course and crisis communications workshop. Back in Region-5!
How did the holidays get SO busy?!?!
Be safe peeps!
Who just shows up at a brand new social media class?!?
Glad to see the newly FEMA certified, NDPTC Social Media Tools and Techniques Course (PER-344) to Cuyahoga County, Ohio.
Also glad to see so many fellow peeps as well as public safety professionals who are willing to utilize technology to better their agencies.
Great engagement especially during classroom activities by instructors too.
Seriously, I’m proud to see that this class can help shape the way government and public safety agencies use social media in planned events as well as before, during, and after a disaster.
Super proud.
Today I’ll be supporting fellow PIOs for Cleveland Water as they host open forum meetings with the community.
You can check out my periscope broadcast here.
Or, you can check out the Cleveland Water FPV FacebookLive camera here.
At the end, I’ll be doing some social media live broadcast stuff as well as some fun interview work with other PIOs and Commissioner.
BTW-2016 World Series game-3 is tonight in Chicago.
As always #GoTribe #RallyTogether
