Some personal news: I am joining the Security & Emergency Services team at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab!

I am so excited to help build the lab's preparedness and resilience and join a growing EM org at a world-class research facility. Also pretty excited for CA!

Hey friends, I'm making a career pivot into Emergency Management after a long career in marketing (and 6 years in the Red Cross).

I'd love to meet and talk to more people in that industry. Any masto peeps have some good connections to share?

Appreciate boosts! #smem #EmergencyManagement #EMGMastodon #EMastodon

Spent the last couple of days updating my #TwitterMigration #MastodonNoob link list of articles, videos, resources etc... - added several more links to things that should be helpful or interesting to my #EMGtwitter #SMEM (Social Media in Emergency Management) friends and colleagues. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dtdqk3l0jbh-pVY3rGJ1tBvTCxSGhg2D0kYUe_eymEQ/edit?usp=sharing

Thankful for my emergency management friends for building Mastadon accounts & making contingency plans. Anyone planning a Mastadon instance/server specifically for their agency yet? I've seen posts on news media orgs setting up instances to host their staff & official accounts; where will EM agencies & orgs go? Setting up your own instance seems wise if possible security concerns can be addressed. It certainly would eliminate "verification" issues... #EMGtwitter #EMGmastodon #smem #IAEM #NEMA
