Teaching in Florida today and tomorrow…
Teaching two classes on Social Media/Public Information Officer stuff today and tomorrow at the Florida Emergency Preparedness Association (FEPA) conference in beautiful Daytona Beach.
FEPA was created in 1957 to help professional Emergency Managers work to protect the people of Florida. I’m sure glad to see SO many different types of EM professionals from various backgrounds and different organizations.
Any of my FL peeps want to #Tweetup ?

Training with the Department of Emergency Management in Florida
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.

Possible deployment – update: 11-13-13 at 1930 #Haiyan #Yolanda #Typhoon #Hurricane
Possible deployment: Philippines

At this time, I have declined the deployment with the Incident Response Team citing safety concerns with the various Landing Zones (LZ), Logistics escorts, coordination with the Philippine Military, and security of the Base of Operations (BoO).
Sigh.
As the situation continues to evolve, there may be other deployments to bring in resources to stabilize this region which has been badly damaged by the Typhoon/Hurricane.
However, I still encourage all of you to consider giving monetary donations to international agencies to support the relief efforts.

Alright alright….I’ll pack my helo stuff.
Harness-check, helmet-check, flight suit-check, vest-check, tie-in lanyard-check.
I probably should pack some comms too.
This bag is going to get heavy real quick.
(Yeah I know, I look like a dork)

The Mayor of Tacloban urged residents of this typhoon-ravaged city on Wednesday afternoon to flee to other cities and find shelter there with relatives if they could, saying that the local authorities were struggling to provide enough food and water and faced difficulties in maintaining law and order.
“I have to decide at every meeting which is more important, relief goods or picking up cadavers,” he said.
