More Emergency Management interviews at #IAEM16
It was super fun to interview Jody today at the 2016 International Association of Emergency Management Conference.
Emergency Management Officer Jody Hodge from the Jefferson County Emergency Management Agency (Alabama)
Why is Jody so awesome?
Yeah, we talked about preparedness, talked about disaster kits, talked about natural disasters…But to close the interview, he said “Aloha y’all!”

I’m so happy right now.
Big mahalos to all the pros who have helped me through this process. I am fortunate to have your support in the course I created.
Yes indeed, this one is a big check mark off my career list.
Final day of training at DCHSEMA #NatlPrep
Second and last day of our training at DC’s Homeland Security Emergency Management Agency.
Again, glad to have so many partners in public safety participating esp from the intelligence community.
Also excited to finally make it to NOAA/NWS Headquarters! Special thanks to my old friend and PIO extraordinaire Cindy.
Every single Emergency Management class is all about building relationships. No matter NIMS/ICS, EOC, Hazardous Weather, Intelligence, or Social Media – build your network of trusted partners in public safety.
Super glad to see so much participation during September: National Preparedness Month aka my favorite month! #NatlPrep
Training at DCHSEMA #NatlPrep
Busy Monday morning instructing at the District of Columbia Homeland Security and Emergency Management.
I’m just glad to see so many partners in public safety participating.
Trust me, I’m glad to be instructing in the Emergency Operations Center too.
So many resources here like a busy 9-1-1 call center, Watch Desk, 3-1-1 call center, and Fusion Center.
Training and education will help everyone work cohesively together in an emarrrrrrrrrrrrrgency.
Happy #TalkLikeAPirateDay too.
Enhance your preparedness efforts by attending free local classes #NatlPrep #PrepareAthon
It’s still the third week of 2016 National Preparedness Month!
Trust me, you don’t need to wait for the earthquakes, and the poison arrows fall from the sky, and the pillars of Heaven (to) shake – just attend a few classes with local emergency management.
Don’t get frustrated…Preparedness is easy!
But seriously.
These classes can help better prepare you for many natural disasters, hazards, and/or common emergencies.
At the very least, they can detail what kind of actions will be taken by first responders in the response phase of the disaster.
In today’s class, we had a spirited discussion about MREs and preparedness kits. Even first responders and their respective families need emergency preparedness kits too.
Most of these short classes or day-long trainings are often free and scheduled well in advance. And if you can’t attend in-person trainings, there are many online classes available for no-cost on preparedness.
Yep, you guessed it, straight up good old networking with so many public safety pros.

Hamilton County All-Hazards NIMS ICS-300 class during #NatlPrep Month!
Part of being prepared is taking classes with your local public safety professionals.
Hamilton County EMA Emily Lakamp welcoming class
Today, Hamilton County EMA partnered with Ohio Emergency Management Agency to bring ICS-300: Intermediate ICS for Expanding Incidents. 3-day intensive course to talk about the basics of ICS and NIMS and how it applies to all public safety and everyone during an incident/event.
OEMA Instructor Kevin Sur breaking down PPD-5 and PPD-8 for the ICS-300 class
If I counted correctly, we have almost all ESFs represented today! #awesome
Training is key as we continue to push preparedness efforts throughout the county and state. Learning about capabilities is key in any disaster response.
Ohio EMA Southwest Regional Supervisor Phil Clayton addressing participants today
Glad to see everyone engaged today…esp on disaster response.
This afternoon, in the world of tabletop exercise disaster training, we will likely ruin Central City, decimate Columbiana County, and then trash the State of Columbia. Oh yeah, and of course flood Emerald City too.

Busy September 2016 = National Preparedness Month #NatlPrep #PrepareAthon
August was solid, but September is going to be huge because it’s NATIONAL PREPAREDNESS MONTH!!!!!
First and second week, it’ll all be planning for a gigantic upcoming all-hazards PIO/PAO Conference.
Third week will be spent teaching ICS-300 for Ohio EMA to my friends in the SW part of Ohio. And then on Friday, attending the Ohio PIO Symposium.
Fourth week, I’ll be teaching at Washington DC’s Homeland Security and Emergency Management EOC. Upon return, then presenting at the Wayne County (Ohio) Fire Chief’s Conference on PIO/Social Media.
Fifth week, I’ll be presenting on PIO and cyber at the infrastructure at the statewide infrastructure protection conference in Region-7. Who knows, if I can do it, maybe some tactical training in Alliance too. #pewpew
And ALL month long, I’ll be participating in National Preparedness month activities that you can share with your constituents. If we can better prepare our peeps, we can increase our national level of community resilience.
Thanks to the www.ready.gov program, it is easier than ever to get involved and prepared.
Hope to see you engaging during this important month.

Little messages like this motivates me to continue to bring the best training to all my peeps.
Glad to see so many of you advancing your careers with Emergency Management and PIO-ing.
