Stadium was packed!
2016 World Series game-2: Chicago Cubs vs Cleveland Indians
Don’t think it’s all glamour, PIOs spend gobs of time crafting specific messages tailored to each situation.

In the end, ESF-15 and all PIOs/PAOs are there to support all of our partners in public safety.
ESF-15 in the hizzouse!

More Emergency Management interviews at #IAEM16
It was super fun to interview Jody today at the 2016 International Association of Emergency Management Conference.
Emergency Management Officer Jody Hodge from the Jefferson County Emergency Management Agency (Alabama)
Why is Jody so awesome?
Yeah, we talked about preparedness, talked about disaster kits, talked about natural disasters…But to close the interview, he said “Aloha y’all!”
Reporting live from #IAEM16
Some transitional or bridging phrases because you know… #PIO #PAO #ESF15
Just watched a ton of interviews on TV. So, is “You know…” the new “Um….”
C’mon peeps. We are all capable of doing better.
For those that need a little help, reference your cue/quiet cards with transitional/bridging phrases.
- “We need to focus in on…”
- “Let me reiterate the main problem here is…”
- “Another factor to consider is…”
- “Oh, that reminds me…”
Remember, your audience doesn’t know…so help them, well, you know…
Day-3 Ohio EMA ICS 300 course with 911 PSAP & Belmont County EMA EOC
Third and final day of the Ohio EMA ICS-300 course at Belmont College.

Mid morning, we had lots of great discussion for formal demobilization plans as well priority release procedures.
Our class had some serious discussion on cost vs expectations on resources. If you’ve ever been deployed to a disaster, you know exactly what I’m talking about.
Rounding out to the last module, almost test time!
After the class was over, I was able to score a visit to Belmont County 911 dispatch center for our class. So I invited the whole class to attend too!
Special thanks to Mr. Hudak for the tour and detailed explanation on normal operations in their Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) / 911 call center.
Our class then moved over to the Belmont County Emergency Management Agency where our class was given a formal tour of their Emergency Operation Center (EOC).
They just happen to be monitoring Hurricane Matthew – so that made it even better for all participants to see how this EOC can monitor any situation in real time. Thank you Belmont County EMA!
Positions ready…Executive Policy Room ready…ARES Comms center ready…fully operational…who could ask for anything more?!!?!? Even the bonus resources they have were great to see how they could support operations and paint a better picture to increase situational awareness / common operating picture (SA/COP).
Gah, I see this EOC being a great resource for many all hazards partners in public safety.
Great to showcase the efforts of local emergency management professionals and how they pair with Ohio Emergency Management Agency (OEMA).
Special thanks to Glenn Trudo and Belmont College for being such gracious hosts for the OEMA ICS-300 class.
Day-2 of Ohio EMA’s ICS-300 course at Belmont College
Day-2 of the Ohio EMA ICS-300 course at Belmont College (Ohio).
Participants completed several exercises with S.M.A.R.T. Objectives, finding the right strategy with the right tactic to complete the objective with the right resource – all part of the Planning-P.
These kinds of activities during non-emergency times will help increase skills of any public safety provider as we look to coordinate all-hazards response prior to a disaster or emergency. Additionally, I was able to showcase the PIO function as it pertains to a school fire (this is an exercise).
So many different agencies in this class!
Great partnerships collaborating together before an emergency!
October is going to be fun!
September was busy thanks to National Preparedness Month but October is going to be super fun!
First week, I’ll be teaching ICS in Belmont County (Ohio). Bonus points because I’ll be in a suit on Tuesday!
Second week will be heavy planning/coordination for upcoming IMT OSC Course, PIO Workshop, and PIO Conference. (BTW: Save-the-date – Friday January 20th, 2017).
Third week will be reporting live at the International Association of Emergency Manager’s Annual Conference in Savannah, Georgia. Suit up lads because it’s IAEM baby!
Fourth week, I’ll be back in Marietta, Georgia teaching. Who’s showing the love for Region 4 this month?!? Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
I wonder what my Halloween costume will be this year?
Where is @rusnivek?
