As the Official FEMA PIO assigned to the Florida Keys post-hurricane Irma, one of the markets is radio.
It’s not TV, but this is how many residents get their news.
Trust me, it’s bad here.
Glad to be a part of the team that is making a consistent solid difference in disaster response and recovery.
Change of plans this afternoon.
About to start a briefing with National Incident Management Team (IMAT) for response to southern Florida.
And yes, I am at home with T-cards on the wall and all C&GSFs briefing out.
Can you support the plan?!?
***********Update***********
Breaking news: I have been reassigned as the FEMA PIO to cover the Florida Keys.
More details to follow.
As we rally up at the Federal Interim Operating Facility (IOF), our FEMA External Affairs contingent briefs with FEMA Rregion 5 External Affairs Mark Peterson.
In other words, this is basically us forming Voltron.
People in this picture will be immediately deployed across the State of Florida to integrate into Command positions as a part of the Federal response for Hurricane Irma (4337-FL). Not only PIOs, but we represent so many factions within External Affairs.
This is a Presidentially Declared Disaster so whisper me those magical two words – “Stafford Act”
Aww yeah boyeeeeee, bring it. EA in the house!
I forgot to post this pic from earlier, but I’m in Florida. Are you?
Proud to support the External Affairs mission for the Response Directorate.
Citing my good friends from PIAT’s favorite hashtag: #JICLIFE
Hope all of you are having a great #AlohaFriday
It’s almost midnight. And just like so many Vegas casinos, there are no clocks at the IOF.
Weird.
Time for work.
Morning peeps. Lotsa hurry up and wait.
I’m glad to be supporting our response mission with solid FEMA PIO work. #Irma #FL
See, even in a disaster, people can be courteous.
Small things like this for your team’s safety is totes important.
Reporting live from the middle of Irma…
Late night briefing….in the laundry room.
Yes, it’s true. The “glorious” life of a Public Information Officer.
JIC Manager, Media Relations Manager, News Desk Specs, and PIOs – bring it in!
