Families deserve to hear from us before a crisis. Proactive communication with staff & incarcerated families builds trust and strengthens morale. Our new article from Corrections Communicated that dives into why this matters. @CorrectionsComm @PDR_Strategies
Families deserve more than a call when things go wrong. In corrections, proactive communication with staff and incarcerated families builds trust before the crisis. đź”— https://t.co/sgVNO4VyhS

Grateful to work with Dover’s leadership team as they put their LEOP into Action. Every discussion showed the power of planning before the crisis. 💪❄️ #EmergencyManagement #Preparedness #DoverNH @PDR_Strategies
Dover’s LEOP In Action! 💪 Phase 3 brought city leaders together to walk through a winter storm turned ice storm — and talk about how an all-hazards approach prepares for anything, from hurricanes to no-notice wind events. Teamwork = readiness. #LEOP #Preparedness #DoverNH

I was recently asked by a potential student about applying for an upcoming @FEMA_NDEMU Advanced PIO 0388 course #APIO. The student was concerned that they were not able to complete the online, independent study, prerequisites due to the Government shutdown and the IS portal

Day 15 of the shutdown. Many agencies, including those responsible for public safety, are still silent online. Silence isn’t neutral — it fuels confusion and mistrust. Communication isn’t political. It’s essential. Read my latest piece for @PDR_Strategies below
The longer the government stays silent, the faster misinformation spreads. Communication is not a luxury — it’s a lifeline. Read our latest blog article: https://t.co/aiEpaQ4AHE

Hey fellow colorblind people... you can use ChatGBT to figure out colors! I used it today. Took a picture of an item on my phone in the ChatGBT app and asked it what color it was...it worked! No more guessing or having to ask a random stranger in the store "what color is this..."

This one’s personal. When a correctional officer is hurt or dies, the first words matter as much as the first actions. My latest for @CorrectionsOne: Communicating with compassion and clarity when tragedy strikes. @CorrectionsComm @PDR_Strategies
When an officer is injured or killed, how leaders communicate in those first hours builds — or breaks — trust. Our latest for @CorrectionsOne: “Officer injuries and line-of-duty deaths: Communicating with compassion and clarity.” https://t.co/lnH4DOEZN8

Resharing because PIOs need to read it… talk like your community and audience. Avoid the jargan.
