Wait a sec…
You can get fired for posting an Instagram picture even without a patient in the picture?
Instagram post (Cort of ABCNews.com)
Apparently Katie Duke (RN) was fired from New York Presbyterian Hospital because of her Instagram post was deemed “insensitive”.
We talk a bunch about this my PIO/Social Media classes right?

Again I ask, can you get fired from your job because of an Instagram post?
Guess so…
Guess who’s teaching at Ohio Emergency Management Agency today?
That’s right, training in the state EOC…who’s your EMDaddy?!?
And here is Ohio Emergency Management Agency’s Director Nancy Dragani welcoming our class.
But first, lemme take a #selfie…
Whoop whoop!

Breaking it down for the folks in Wayne County today.
Showing much alohas to FEMA Administrator Craig Fugate.
All the fun stuff during class…cause that’s how I roll.
Reporting live from the Emergency Operations Center (EOC)….

See, it was a good question!
Paulette Aniskoff (@PAniskoff44), Director of the Office of Public Engagement, The White House.
Well, it’s not often I get to correspond with my White House peeps.

Had a chance to stop by FEMA HQ.
Also FEMA’s new MCOVs were on display right next to Quizno’s. Neeto stuff.
One of the highlights was a chance to sit and hang in the NRCC for a bit…just to see where the magic happens. Sa-weet.
Then on to the serious stuff. Lots of discussion with FEMA’s External Affairs folks pertaining to preparedness and readiness. #Prepared2014 – great stuff planned as we move into mid 2014. Truth be told, I’m just glad to be a part of the action.
I also enjoy meeting with people who are passionate about their jobs and really believe in their careers. It’s not often you get to see that kind of true dedication.
Running to make my afternoon meetings, I got a chance to hang with several Emergency Managers from around the country who were in town attending the National Emergency Management Association (NEMA) Mid Year Planning Conference in VA.
Not only are they true fellow emergency managers, more importantly, they are friends. Trouble was to be had since we tried to emulate Ellen DeGeneres’ Oscar night #Selfie for the other #SMEM folks. BTW-if you don’t know these peeps in this picture, trust me, you should. No seriously, trust me, you should.
Mahalos to Meischa Jackson for the assist.
I also got to sit down and talk again to Doc Lumpkins who is the Director of National Integration Center at FEMA HQ.
Haven’t seen him since the 2011 UASI Conference in San Francisco. I can’t begin to tell you how funny he is. I got nothing but mad respect for this guy!
In review, I should really make more trips to DC to meet with my peeps.
*sigh*
Now off to South Carolina!
@rusnivek
I thought it was cold in Cleveland….whoa, it’s way colder here in Juneau!
More teaching today and tomorrow.
Stay warm peeps.

@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.
