Ohio Emergency Management Agency (OEMA) constantly embraces new technologies like social media to spread preparedness efforts and update timely information for everyone. Social media is just one piece of the puzzle that OEMA uses to extend and promote their outreach efforts with various public safety partners and enhance engagement from various constituents and stakeholders in every community.

Peeps in the EOC, check out the power of social media: "Say Aloooooooooha!"

Hey peeps in the EOC, check out the power of social media: “Say Aloooooooooha!”

Getting all the safety messages in a timely manner is the hallmark for success during any emergency or disaster.

Special thanks to my friends at OEMA and Executive Director Nancy Dragani!

A cool new EOC / hangout

Had a great time in Florida teaching various state Public Information Officers (PIOs).

I also found a cool new EOC/hangout too.

Maybe it’s the new typing and classification for EOCs.

Now heading to Sandusky to teach Incident Command.

Glad to be back in Region-5.
