Late night briefing….in the laundry room.
Yes, it’s true. The “glorious” life of a Public Information Officer.
JIC Manager, Media Relations Manager, News Desk Specs, and PIOs – bring it in!
#glamorous #famous
Man, #Hurricane Irma looking all fug.
Maybe we better brief in a safer location…
@rusnivek
Busy lunch as we prep for Hurricane Irma hit. Can you say sandbags?
Disaster response = fun times.
HQ, I copy the demob orders from Texas and Puerto Rico.
I also copy the new deployment orders for Florida.
Less than 24-hours.
FEMA Administrator Brock Long made a poignant statement about his employees today in the NY Times:
“…this is what we train for” – FEMA Administrator Brock Long

Yes sir, we train all the time.
Many instructors across this nation can attest the long hours we spend providing training for hundreds of thousands of our all-hazards public safety professionals from all walks of life.
This is truly what we train for.
I have a weird feeling that it’s going to be Florida.
Things are spinning up and quite honestly, Hurricane Irma looks pretty fugly.
Welp, Saturday plans will have to look slightly different now.
Better mount up as I *think this is for Texas.
Well, I don’t *think I’m going to need my tie, but definitely my best pair of boots.
Incident Management: External Affairs Media Relations Spc…aka PIO!
Along with #Harvey – I spy with my right eye, #Hurricane #Irma
For those that wanted to know, here’s my disaster deployment stuff ready to go.
Backpack: 511Tactical RUSH 24-hour.
Rollerboard: Travel Pro MaxLite-3
Pelican case(s): 1510 Pelican cases (both admissible as carry on luggage on any domestic airline)
Large rolling duffel: Columbia Storm Chaser. Normally, I put the boots in the outside boot pocket of the large duffel, but I wanted to give you some size context.
Hope this helps out.
Where is @rusnivek?
