Couldn’t have said it any better myself. Given the current situation at FEMA, this person’s comments are disrespectful, shortsighted, and unprofessional.

Hey #EmergencyManagement people, maybe let’s not share an article from and provide a platform for a disgraced former state emergency management employee who had to leave his position due to allegations of child sexual abuse and then started his own consulting business. Just an idea. #EMGTwitter

Apropos of nothing, when a self-professed Expert™️ makes a statement starting with “in my experience”, you should stop and ask yourself if that person actually has any experience before assigning value to their statements or judgements.

I’m going to start a running thread of emergency management agency patches similar to what I did on the other site.

First up, Alaska Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management

@dankaszeta.bsky.social thoughts on this? Is this a net positive (get rid of the stuff before any other bad actor can lay hands on it) or does this create more of a disaster?

@dankaszeta.bsky.social got any recommendations for books about the Aum Shinrikyo sarin attacks on the Tokyo subway? Would be interested to get more detail on the response to that incident.

Merry Christmas from the Ukrainian armed forces!

Remember fellas, Crimea is Ukraine and NAFO expansion is non-negotiable.

Some of my most popular posts on “the other site” were about my patch collection, which I’ve been curating for about 20 years now. Happy to do more patch threads here if there’s interest, just let me know what categories of patches you’re interested in seeing.

I’m excited to cross something off my professional bucket list this week. The FDNY CT Leadership Program is the standard for fire/EMS education on issues of terrorism & security & I’m honored to be here as a speaker/guest. For a lifelong FDNY “buff” this is a dream come true.

Had a great time speaking with the Univ. of New Haven Homeland Security & EM Association this afternoon - speaking about the field in general and potential career paths.

Great mix of majors including homeland, EM, cyber, criminal justice, forensics, & my personal favorite - fire science!

@quin19.bsky.social @preparednessjoe.bsky.social @readynorthwest.bsky.social has an EM hashtag been determined for this site yet? We have to stake our claim and organize the discourse!
