HQ, I copy the demob orders from Texas and Puerto Rico.
I also copy the new deployment orders for Florida.
Less than 24-hours.
This is what we train for
FEMA Administrator Brock Long made a poignant statement about his employees today in the NY Times:

Yes sir, we train all the time.
Many instructors across this nation can attest the long hours we spend providing training for hundreds of thousands of our all-hazards public safety professionals from all walks of life.
This is truly what we train for.
I’m no scientist, but #Hurricane #Irma looks fugly
I have a weird feeling that it’s going to be Florida.
Things are spinning up and quite honestly, Hurricane Irma looks pretty fugly.
Changing my Saturday plans in 3…2..1…
Welp, Saturday plans will have to look slightly different now.
Better mount up as I *think this is for Texas.
Well, I don’t *think I’m going to need my tie, but definitely my best pair of boots.

Along with #Harvey – I spy with my right eye, #Hurricane #Irma
Meetings at FEMA HQ and prep for Hurricane Harvey
Fun time this morning at FEMA HQ.
Quick meeting with my manager and a quick hello to our other External Affairs pros on the 8th floor.
Additionally, lots of planning ongoing for the preparedness/response for Hurricane Harvey. And lots of senior administration here today to update ongoing issues as well as brief leadership on various branches of government.

Despite the ongoing flurry of activity, I was still able to grab a few smiles from my External Affairs peeps.
@rusnivek and @EmergencyPrepGal
We are going to need everyone to listen to trusted sources of local, state, national information on safety measures being implemented throughout affected areas.
Please heed the warnings of your local public safety professionals.
- If told to evacuate, immediately do so.
- Turn Around, Don’t Drown.
- Most of all, grab your preparedness kit and keep family/friends close as Hurricane Harvey makes landfall.
Be safe peeps.
Where is @rusnivek?
