Nice Recap Chief; it is amazing how quickly SMEM has become a real force, now to put some standards on it and teach those not on board. And I’m fine with your bullet points, might make a good book format.
Listening to the media was not as helpful or as timely as Twitter; but sadly it was entertaining.

Kudos to this young lady (and I know she’s a young lady because I’ve yet to meet a public safety person tasked with social media who isn’t young).

As the person who managed my Department’s social media presence during (and, more importantly for public health, after) the storm, it doesn’t surprise me that its just one person. And it wouldn’t surprise my friend at our local EMA who did the same, or the guy from the Fire Dept, or the police officer who single-handedly collected, catalogued and reported via Twitter every tree down, every road closed and every update on the storm.

Luckily for us, the only difference between what she did and we did was volume. If the storm hit a bit further south, I could introduce you personally to the person this blog post would’ve been about.

Flying solo seems to be the norm for now, sadly.

Chief, as someone who shared the horror of June 10, 1999 (from the news side, and as a parent) and as one who shares the excitement of always growing and learning (gotta love that social media), I honor you, your years of service, and your heart for this community. We were blessed to have you; now blessings on you in this new chapter of life.

What great advice, Chief, thank you! And thank you for your many years of service. You are much appreciated and will be missed in the public sector, but your new work sounds worthy and will benefit from your expertise.

Congratulations Bill! I enjoyed working with you from day one. You are a true professional and a great friend. There are countless stories I could tell of our times together, some difficult, most of them fun. Do you remember that call…?
