Even before the newspaper is printed, the information is obsolete…like finger nails on the chalkboard old.

Try to save a few trees and check out this thing called the internets.

It’s amazing.

More and more, I do enjoy seeing public utilities interacting more w/ their constituents on social media.

Snow is getting bad, I better fuel the Command vehicle now.

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!
