Afternoon Law Enforcement leaders and LEO PIOs!
If you have employees, here’s another quick phrase you want to keep close.
“Law enforcement officers are peacekeepers whose core mission is to protect and safeguard the community.”
and
“It is our expectation is that employees do not engage in activities or associations that undermine or diminish our role as peacekeepers.”
Well done CCSO.
It’s Friday in the fourth week of 2014 National Preparedness Month.
“Be Disaster Aware, Take Action to Prepare”
Ahhh, Aloha Fridays!
This week’s theme is consistent with FEMA’s National Preparedness Campaign: Practice for an emergency
#26: Are ALL your emergency flashlights working? Test em if you got em! #Prepared2014 #NatlPrep
Since it’s a beautiful day, I would be a great day to test all your flashlights.
A few weeks ago, I talked about having flashlights in case of an emergency. Now would be the time to test and make sure each flashlight is in working condition.
Don’t forget about your helmet lights too!
And for my friends in the law enforcement world, don’t forget to check all your weapon lights too.
*I also had to change the batteries in my EOTech too.
Your preparedness actions now will definitely save you time during an emergency.
Reminder again, throw away all candles. Candles are dangerous and can start fires. Flashlights are WAY better for lighting.
Happy Aloha Friday everyone!
Mowing this week down as we are almost to the middle of the second week in 2014 National Preparedness Month!
“Be Disaster Aware, Take Action to Prepare”
Terriffic Tuesdays are here!
This week’s theme is consistent with FEMA’s National Preparedness Campaign: Know How To plan for specific needs before a Disaster.
#9: When planning alternate routes for work or evacuation, factor in adverse weather conditions #NatlPrep #Prepared2014
By carefully planning your routes, you can prepare you and your family for adverse weather before it rolls in. Additionally, the use of your NOAA NWS Weather Radio to avoid bad weather will help you safely navigate to your destination in a timely fashion. Consider printing out maps w/ clearly defined routes for everyone in your family.
You do NOT want to mess with Mother Nature – so plan your routes accordingly and drive them often so you aren’t surprised by major/minor construction. Make sure you and your family are safe!
“Planning is everything.” – US President Dwight D Eisenhower.
Rainy/gloomy Saturday, and I’m closing out the first week of 2014 National Preparedness Month!
“Be Disaster Aware, Take Action to Prepare”
Saturday Stuff right?
This week’s theme is consistent with FEMA’s National Preparedness Campaign: Reconnect with Family After a Disaster.
#6: Have at least two (2) flashlights w/ batteries to help navigate in the dark & keep your family together #NatlPrep #Prepared2014
Pictured above is just one of the three flashlights that I keep in my everyday bag.
Reconnecting with my family after a disaster means that I have preparedness items for them too. It would be worth noting that each flashlight uses the same type of batteries and all operate/function the same (rear push button and twist-on action). This brand and similar power source compatibility allows everyone to have the same gear.
2 is 1 and one is none right? Well, I guess in this case, it’s 3 is 1 and one is none.
For those inquiring on my equipment specifics, I have a Surefire M2 Centurion, a Surefire A2 Aviator, and a Surefire G2 Nitrolon.
Also, a simple red tape marking allows us to easily identify what equipment is ours.
At night, a great flashlight allow you to quickly identify your family members amongst the sea of cheap weaker flashlights in the neighborhood. Trust me, at night, you want the best most powerful flashlights around.
So have flashlights and batteries ready for all members of your family.
Keeping tools ready for your family is another important parts of keeping your family together during and after a disaster.
February doesn’t look all that nice. Bitter cold weather here in Region-5.
Well, except for that quick stint at the upcoming FEPA conference in Florida.
This month’s activities include work in FEMA Region-9, Region-3, and of course Region-5
Hoping the weather is warm in Florida.
