Since it’s the start of 2018’s Shark Week, I wanted to share with you one of my more favorite shark pictures.
Again, this isn’t real.
Don’t be a chump, during disasters or flooding, stop sharing this picture.
Day-2 in the Joint Information Center starts out with…dispelling rumors!
Reuters reported that a Cleveland Police Transport van was shot near the Republican National Convention utilizing the #RNCinCLE.
#booya Reuters.
Immediate engagement using (retweeting) incorrect info.
Then JIC emailed out information to all media on media lists.
Also because of time and deluge of phone calls, the onslaught of emails, and the avalanche on social media…
Being nimble on multiple social media platforms, immediate dispelling of rumor in a public forum, and use of all associative hashtags was deliberate and purposeful.
Solid JIC work today PIO peeps!
I had a great time with the Northeast Ohio Public Information Officers (NEO-PIOs) who sat for a quick down and dirty (DaD) Table Top Exercise (TTE) designed around on a social media (SM) module (MOD). OMG.
Various topics discussed:
Lots of fun esp various discussions on platforms and reach.

…and their true reach/effectiveness of messaging.

Discussion on simplicity and concise messaging for those we serve before, during, and after an emergency.
BAM – solid Tuesday afternoon with my peeps!
Yups, I can’t thank these ESF-15 characters enough.
