Secret project this morning with lots of smiles…
Lots of holiday cheer…
All for this…
Ohhh yeah, the #MannequinChallenge
Outstanding work to all Cleveland public safety forces!
Presenting today at the 2016 County Engineers Association of Ohio Annual Conference!
Public Information stuff as well as some Communications Strategies for government officials.
I’ll try not to dance on stage today.
Maybe.
Looks like it’s going to be a fun class!
Slight delayed as I was OCONUS – but December is here! December is here!
First week, I’ll be presenting at the 2016 County Engineers Association of Ohio’s Annual Winter Conference. I’ll then be on a special detail to the Blue Springs Police Department (Missouri). And then teaching some social media in Topeka for the State of Kansas Emergency Management. Region-7 baby!
Second week, I’ll be back at the State of Colorado’s Emergency Operations Center to teach the new FEMA/NDPTC social media tools and techniques course. Region-8 is great!
Third week, I’ll head down to Region-6 to Baton Rouge to teach another FEMA/NDPTC social media tools and techniques course.
And then the fourth week, I’ll be in southern Ohio teaching a detailed public information course and crisis communications workshop. Back in Region-5!
How did the holidays get SO busy?!?!
Be safe peeps!
Who just shows up at a brand new social media class?!?
Glad to see the newly FEMA certified, NDPTC Social Media Tools and Techniques Course (PER-344) to Cuyahoga County, Ohio.
Also glad to see so many fellow peeps as well as public safety professionals who are willing to utilize technology to better their agencies.
Great engagement especially during classroom activities by instructors too.
Seriously, I’m proud to see that this class can help shape the way government and public safety agencies use social media in planned events as well as before, during, and after a disaster.
Super proud.
2016 World Series Game-7: Chicago Cubs vs Cleveland Indians.
Look, let’s keep it simple for the final game.
Let’s hope for a solid game from both teams – It’s been quite a series so may the best team win.
Indeed both teams are worthy of being crowned the 2016 World Series Champions.
Most importantly, I hope for all celebrations to remain calm and peaceful.
For the sake of all the public safety professionals working, celebrate responsibly.
And don’t forget to scream #GoTribe #Windians and #RallyTogether

Reporting in from Cleveland…
Today I’ll be supporting fellow PIOs for Cleveland Water as they host open forum meetings with the community.
You can check out my periscope broadcast here.
Or, you can check out the Cleveland Water FPV FacebookLive camera here.
At the end, I’ll be doing some social media live broadcast stuff as well as some fun interview work with other PIOs and Commissioner.
BTW-2016 World Series game-3 is tonight in Chicago.
As always #GoTribe #RallyTogether
Doing some Public Information Officer (PIO) stuff during the 2016 World Series was fun.
Like in any deployment, don’t forget to sign in, or else Jobu will chase you down!
Jobu says sign in on the ICS-211 form #GoTribe #MajorLeague
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.
PIOs in the midst of discussing the use of gifs.
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!
Looking forward to game-3 in Chicago.

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.
Remember, your audience doesn’t know…so help them, well, you know…
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.
Where is @rusnivek?
