CIEM Update

October 14, 2010

• Sometimes this year we weren’t sure who our mascot should be:

What I learned in my 2nd year in DEM

1. The only constant is change.

2. USMC has it right: Improvise, adapt and overcome

3. My service alma mater also had it right: semper paratus; always ready…. You gotta be

4. FDEM has is right: in a challenging, unscripted year, the team got it right

So….

What does that mean for Preparedness?

Make it “righter”

Keep what works, try new things and keep learning
