Director/Faculty, EMHS and CDRP at FSU. Talking about disasters, comms, unmanned aircraft, and TAK. Opinions are my own. Occasionally “that guy”.

We’ve proven IPAWS can reach the cell phones, radios & TVs. Now time to look to streaming services.

@YouTubeTV, @hulu, @Sling, @netflix @AppleTV & others can all apply for access to alert feeds at https://t.co/ufqwSzNSXk & integrate these into streaming services.

[NEMA @NEMA_web]

To kick off the Combatting ‘Contested Information’ panel, @guidehouse Jeremias Alverez stresses the importance of discussing the emerging issue with the rise of mis/dis/mal/information (MDM) that has the power to disrupt response and recovery. #NEMAForum2023

[David Merrick @CDRP_DM]

@Ready_Northwest No recording from NEMA, but it happened while the FEMA Deputy Administrator was speaking in a panel. He paused a beat as all the phones went off and said, “We’ll, it works!”

[Associate Deans @ass_deans]

Yes, we joined the governor’s fight against censorship by banning the progressive woke agenda on campus because - let’s be honest - we need the state funding more than we need academic freedom.

Which is the most ignored generation?

Go 'Noles! But... third? That's an interesting stat that I didn't see coming. https://t.co/jsuaOkt4sG

@adjunctificati1 Pros and cons to both, but I will tell you this… Administration at most universities exists to support the university, and supporting education and research gets lost in the noise. A good director/dean can fight this trend.. a bad one will become part of the problem.

[David Merrick @CDRP_DM]

This is all good news for EM and our communities.

[NEMA DC @NEMA_DC]

(🧵1/6) And we have language! It has been no short feat for Congress, but the FY23 #Omnibus spending package was released this week and these are some of the take-always we are most excited about! One of the staples of emergency management, #EMAC, was appropriated its full $2M!

[Patrick Skinner @SkinnerPm]

Dear police, fentanyl isn’t absorbed through the skin like a television toxin nor is it airborne like a cartoon stink cloud. It’s dangerous when injected or ingested, so don’t inject it or ingest it. Wear gloves like we do for all evidence and be careful but don’t be dramatic.

[David Merrick @CDRP_DM]

Was hoping to get this done earlier… It’s that time of year! Merry Christmas! https://t.co/NgEFmPzWEk

If you are a college student who likes to nod intently at your professors while they're talking in class, just know that all of them adore you and think you are the absolute greatest
