CDC Public Health Radiation and Emergency Preparedness Conference
I had a chance to attend and speak at the CDC's Public Health Radiation and Emergency Preparedness Conference in Atlanta in late March. The conference occurred just a week or so after the terrible Tsunami hit Japan and led to reactor destruction of several nuclear reactors. I spoke on the Use of Social Media in Emergencies, and was on a great panel with fellow Californian Kate Fowlie of Contra Costa County Health Services and two other excellent participants.
U.S. EPA National Air Quality Conference
I spoke at the U.S. EPA's National Air Quality Conference in San Diego with a presentation about the use of social media in emergencies. It was great to see so many communications colleagues and also participate in an exhibit booth with Sonoma Technology Inc.. At the booth, conference attendees got to record their own web video PSA's using our camera, teleprompter and green screen setup!
Media Survival Group PIO Team Training - Crescent City, CA
What timing: In February, I participated with Media Survival Group as a trainer in Crescent City, Ca. We held a 2-day Joint Information System/PIO Team Training event for emergency response staff who would need to communicate and work as a team in an emergency. And just in time: in March, the same people who participated in our course did a masterful job handling evacuations and emergency public information as Crescent City was hit with a Tsunami surge that damaged or destroyed 35 boats and wiped out its harbor.

I spoke at the California Air Response Planning Alliance Summit December 14th at the Sacramento Convention Center.
