My class today…
Mahalos Missouri!!!!!
Bright and early, we kicked off the second day of the 2016 ASFPM Conference here!

On scene and snazzy!
Class looks ready – because there is FREE coffee provided!!!!!

Everyone calm down!
Of course, I’m already – thumbs up for social media!

#BringIt
Also having a solid co-instructor is +1!

And what social media class doesn’t include a few redic and hilarious Snaps?!?!?!?

Snapping…cause all the cool kids are doing it.
Tearing up the internets (heh) and leaving no cookies behind! (<—geek jokes)
My team?

#NDPTC in the hizzouse!
Reporting live from Michigan…
Lots of new social media friends in Michigan.

Many mahalos to the outstanding hosts from the Michigan State University Police Department and the use of their Emergency Operations Center for our #NDPTC class.

Our class included a social media inject from FEMA Administrator Craig Fugate.

Lots of discussion on data mining, geolocation, and information gathering including a little real-time people uses and their platforms. How was your coffee Valerie?
The power of social media.

After class was over, many of the participants (Cooper and Valerie) said to check out the famous MSU Dairy Store.

Dark, quiet, sadly, no one was home. Promised ice cream but I got nothing. #boo
Maybe next time I instruct in Lansing.
Big day presenting to senior leadership and operations.

Top notch peeps from across the country this week!

Special thanks to my old friend Houston Office of Emergency Management Melanie Manville for hosting this new #NDPTC class.
Many Mahalos.
NDPTC Class went pretty well yesterday.

Great leadership at Illinois State University’s Emergency Management program.

Glad to have solid instructors with me.

…and great participation from so many public safety professionals.

Just glad to be part of something big.
I had a great day bringing the newest FEMA/NDPTC Social Media course to Illinois State University yesterday.
