Various free classes on disaster preparedness #NatlPrep #Prepared2014

Solid Monday here as we lead into the second week of 2014 National Preparedness Month!

“Be Disaster Aware, Take Action to Prepare”

No Mundays here!

This week’s theme is consistent with FEMA’s National Preparedness Campaign: Know How To plan for specific needs before a Disaster.

#8: Do not be afraid to attend ongoing free training classes on preparedness

Your local, state, and Federal Emergency Managers are always providing free classes on preparedness and what to do during/after a disaster.

In a few of these courses, your local emergency officials help review your plans for specific items needed after a disaster. As an example, if you live in Ohio, you’d want to have warm blankets, mittens, etc….for your vehicle preparedness kit – esp during the cold winter right? Plan for your specific needs!

So taking classes…totally important right?!?

In fact, I’m sitting in a class today in FEMA Region-III (Maryland).

(Shhhhh! I’m trying to pay attention)

Life long learning peeps!

Case of the Mundays? Nope, no time for rest Dr. Jones!

Weapons meeting at lunch.

Later this afternoon, I’ll be giving a class and meeting with Cleveland Water on PIO/Social Media.

More and more, I do enjoy seeing public utilities interacting more w/ their constituents on social media.

Snow is getting bad, I better fuel the Command vehicle now.
