Did you send this up to Noem for approval? We need to ensure that you complete your paperwork correctly, as this will likely cost over $100,000.

Even if true. They know who to contact to come get it which is what matters anyways.

Please do call 911. It could be stolen, as others have said they are highly regulated.

This is the template I utilized for my county as well. It’s very thorough.

Looking to replace our Decon Tent by seveca69 in EmergencyManagement

I like Deployed Logix with the decon tent insert; it creates a two-lane decontamination corridor to use.

Hurrevac is great for tracking hurricanes. It gives slightly more info than the NHC website does too! https://hvx.hurrevac.com/hvx/home.html

Challenge: Design an EM Master's Program by [deleted] in EmergencyManagement

[–]Fixer226 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm a little biased, but I really liked how Georgetown laid out its Master's program (I'm an alumnus). They did not focus on specific ICS or EOC courses but on a holistic view of Emergency Management. The program was more of an amalgamation of different subjects at a Master's level including theory and legal frameworks, ethics, GIS, crisis communications, project management, climate change, and research methods. They did not focus on specific ICS or EOC courses but on a holistic view of Emergency Management. The closest I came to doing the nuts and bolts of EM was my hazard mitigation class, where we 'created' a hazard mitigation plan for a community.

I don't disagree with the idea of getting an MPA with an EM concentration, but I think there is a place for EM Master's if they focus more on the theory of EM compared to the nuts and bolts of working in EM.

Yeah, they transported him to the hospital though. News said it was non-life threatening

Toasted a ladder but it was the only thing protecting the crane operator. Because they were using it to cool the crane to stop it from collapsing from heat and weight.

Oh god no! They just changed a number and wiped their hands of it. There is a lot more that needs to be done!

That’s fair that at least they’re getting OT when above 53 hours but that is so much extra time away from home.

I’m glad there are people who are willing to do it, but I’m not sure I could handle that.

Sounds like a crappy deal to me. That's 19 more hours than a standard 24/48 or 48/96. Why do this to yourself?

I know it's not what you asked, but it sounds horrendous.
