Marching right in…is March!
In the first full week, as 1Q starts to close out, I will be finishing up my yearly requirements including compliance and yearly required classes/re-certifications from the agencies I represent.
Second week, I’ll head to Boise to teach some advanced social media courses. Keep your eyes peeled for me in Idaho!
Third week, I’m headed down to Anniston for some FEMA Mission Ready Training with my favorite HQ peeps. Now you know, I wanted to attend the 2017 NEMA Mid-Year Planning Conference, but I just can’t swing it this year.
Then the fourth week, is packed with teaching some new peeps from Woodlawn, everyone’s favorite, ICS-400: Advanced Incident Command System (ICS).
Is it spring yet?
It’s Monday…but I think I found my favorite MRE.
Special thanks to my peeps at DHS/FEMA USAR Ohio Task Force-1.
This must be a record. I’ve had a ton of requests about my exact emergency pancho housed in my GoKit.
