It’s #EMSWeek2014 – Did you know EMS uses many different vehicles/apparatus?
By ground or by air, Emergency Medical Services Professionals care for the sick and injured in so many different ways.
Thank all your first responders for their dedicated service.

Celebrate Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Week on May 18th – 24th 2014. Numerous communities across the nation, as well as several national events are planned around this year’s theme “EMS: Dedicated for Life.”
Thank all of your Emergency Medical Services Professionals this week. During any crisis or disaster or everyday emergency, these men and women bring emergency care to anyone in need.
Just in 2014 alone, we’ve had numerous school shootings, tornados hit several southern states, a landslide in Washington, wildfires in California, and flooding in Florida. EMS professionals work tirelessly day-in/day-out to assist and support others who are sick or injured. At every call, EMS treats and transports people in their most critical times of need 24-hour a day – dedication, professionalism and commitment.
Each year EMS Week honors the contributions of EMS Professionals throughout the country and stresses the need and importance of strong public support for all our EMS Providers.
Happy National Emergency Medical Services Week!

Spending a bunch of time in NW Ohio with several emergency services agencies focused in on Water/Ice Rescue.
Did some GPS coordinate work, observation and recon work, and of course some grid search pattern work.
A few of my peeps testing their newly acquired National Incident Management System (NIMS) Incident Command System (ICS) concepts.
Had a chance to interact with a few of the NW Ohio water rescue resources as well as a few aeromedical agencies too.
I’m glad to see so many willing all-hazards participants involved in this exercise.
Also glad to see local and regional law enforcement participation in the day’s events too.
Despite relatively colder temps, all crews managed to say jovial and warm.
Thanks again to my cadre of ICS Subject Matter Experts in Operations, Logistics, Public Information, Communications, and Air Operations who assisted today with evaluation.

@rusnivek’s Top-6 Public Safety / PIO Social Media tips…for free
Again, I need to provide you more public safety social media tips. And since you have very little time in the day to spare, maybe you can read this while going down the elevator. Again, I’ll keep it short.
Here’s part-2 of my top 6 SM tips for public safety professionals / Public Information Officers (PIOs). And yes, it’s still free for you.
@rusnivek Social Media Tip-2: Every post, every avenue, every audience…anytime.
With so many different avenues of social media, one person cannot conceivably keep up with every emerging new program.
Pick a few platforms that work for you and that your audience mainly uses and post. Make it pertinent to your mission, make those posts reflect your organization’s objectives and goals, but most importantly, feed it.
Don’t be such a stickler about posting every day at the same bat time, at same bat place, on the same bat things. Change it up make your audience crave your info and make them check your feed incessantly for information they need.
During an emergency, don’t just decide “Oh now is the time we should start to…”
STOP <SMH> cause you are already dead in the water. #FAIL
So feed it anytime. It only takes a few minutes to feed it. Do it now.
Tip-2: Every post, every avenue, every audience…anytime.
