In the coming months, I’ll be working closely with Cleveland Police on a special project.
Which divisions? I’ll be working closely with their Mounted Unit, K9 Teams, Airport Detail, Bomb Team, SWAT Team, and of course their Air unit (helo).
Awww yeah. All specialty teams!
So yes, you can expect these types of pictures.
Just trying to make a difference to a great community.
Reporting live…from…the barn…
I rolled out my new FEMA presentation for FEMA Region-4 peeps at Florida State University in Tallahassee, FL.
At this time, this course is the semi-final pilot so I’m almost there!
Obvs, I had to incorporate a great preparedness campaign from my friends at the CDC. Have you heard of their preparedness campaign before? It costed the CDC a killer $87 (Get it? I’m so punny).
How about them Zombies?
Classroom activities make it easier for our all-hazards partners to come up with good messaging during preparedness, response, and recovery.
Shared experiences and open discussion amongst public safety providers allows for solid social media solutions to be developed for many common issues.
Participants use various hardware and software platforms to complete each assigned performance-based task. This showcases the spectrum of social media that spans hardware and software differences.
Final will be presented for certification in August in FEMA Region-9 at the State of California Emergency Operations Center located in Sacramento.
So nervous! But seriously, I’m so excited for this project, I can’t even…
Hello 2015! After a nice 2014 holiday season, 2015 seems to be filling up fast.
First few weeks include special projects in with FEMA Region-9 and Region-5. In fact, next week I have to update a few friends at the White House (I better turn my spell Check on). Third and fourth week will be NIMS/ICS training in southern Ohio.
Sometime in January, I should complete my special commerce project for my Ohio peeps. All-hazards right?
Happy New Year everyone – wishing you a prosperous 2015!
After a busy November, let’s continue the push hard into December please!
This Wednesday, I’ll be headed to Michigan to teach with FEMA Region-5 on continuity.
Upon the return to Ohio, I’ll make the quick turnaround and head down to southern Ohio/West Virginia to teach ICS-300. A double serving of Region-5 and Region-3.
Then head to Fulton County, Ohio (Toledo area) to teach a Basic PIO course with my favorite PIOs in the biz. Back in Region-5 baby!
The Oregon trip was canceled so No Region-10 for me. Boooooooooooooooo. But ongoing through December, I have two priority special projects for R9 and R5 that need to close too. So no futzing around!
December summary: Yes on 5, 3, and 9…but no on 10.
I’m just hoping to spend some family time sometime. Happy holidays everyone!
Where is @rusnivek?
