Great to see a virtual conference of Emergency Management communicators going on in Australia with speakers from all over, including my friend Clare Parker @Wavingcloud, who is speaking from outside London at 2:30 a.m. her time. Awesome! @EMPA_Conference
During a big event, don’t have a cast of thousands. Establish a briefing routine. Stay focused, watch for mission creep. Be clear on what you want to achieve. @Wavingcloud #EMPA2020
Still feeling good vibes after being invited to present @EMPA_Conference today. There were some epic contributions with lots of learning to take away. Thanks again folks.
I'm thoroughly appreciating the mix between presentations and fire-side chats for @EMPA_Conference program. Also the little drop-in videos from EMPA friends sharing what they have going on. Really really well blended. 💡⭐️ Lots to learn for anyone preparing online conferences.
Day 2 of @CityOfRedmond’s full-scale exercise with @FITreadytogo. Yesterday it was city employees, today it’s community members working in the Emergency Coordination Center.
@LorraineSchnei @CityOfRedmond We love your creativity and energy Lorraine- thanks for serving as one of our amazing innovators.

Communication in Disasters - a few of the faces of @EMPA in Portland, Oregon. Learning from Public Information Officers, Emergency Managers and communities around the world. A blast ! @RealBobJ @crisisready Thank you for having us <3
Curry Mayer, Emergency Manager, Bellevue, WA speaks about the challenges reaching vulnerable populations with emergency messages. #EMPAcomms19 #disaster #communication
“We have been given a gift: the ability to speak unfiltered to our audiences. However, we have to communicate in meaningful ways.” How will you listen to your audience, make your message relevant, and strategize a mix of mediums to reach people where they are? #EMPAcomms19
Measure the results as you go; don’t wait until after the disaster is over. When you’re in the middle of a response, evaluate what’s not working and push for creative solutions. #EMPAcomms19
@FITreadytogo @empa @crisisready Thank you so much for being a part of this wonderful journey of bringing EMPA to the US!
Portland - On a break from #empacomms19 & popped into @cocodonuts for a quick 12 pack! #CopLife #GoodTrooper #DonutsAreLife

#WSP stopped a 19-year-old for driving 106 mph on SR 3 near Silverdale, passing cars in the right. The had a 20-year-old passenger in the car w/ them. Thankfully this ended with a traffic stop, & not an airlift. #MakeGoodChoices. Don’t become a statistic. #100DeadliestDays

Even after the evidence “for their beliefs has been totally refuted, people fail to make appropriate revisions in those beliefs" The failure was “particularly impressive,” since two data points would never have been enough information to generalize from newyorker.com/magazine/2017/…
Other than asteroid strikes and atomic bombs, there is no more destructive force on this planet than water Two cubic yards of it weighs well over a ton; if that much of it hits you at, say, 20 mph, it will do more damage to your body than a Subaru newyorker.com/news/news-desk…
Centralia - NB I5/County Line - All lanes BLOCKED! Tanker hauling approx. 4,000 gal of used motor oil. Unknown how much has escaped, it is still leaking. Driver arrested for DUI. This is going to be an ALL DAY event. Hazmat crew en route for clean-up.
Common #Communication Problems: 10. Your organization has a Crisis Action Plan but fails to 1) train to it, 2) exercise it to find weak points/gaps, and 3) develop a supporting #crisiscommunication plan that lays out a strong prep and response strategy. 3 strikes, you’re out!
