In fact, this is something that we should indeed consider as we hold training activities, to invite our local officals and media to witness for themselves to showcase our capabilities and prepardeness. For years, some of our CAP units in Virginia jointly participated in emergency preparedness missions and it was well received. When it came time to recognize the ES response teams..... Civil Air Patrol was among that specialized group. How many times have we heard a report that "the searchers" did such and such, or the state police reports........ or other phrasing akin to this? We need to partner with our fellow ES teams and when needed, we'll be side by side with them as a more visible partner. Courting these other organizations, our local and state police, etc., ... and media, sharing our intense training and capabilities is something we indeed should consider. We indeed are participating in more Disaster Relief missions, we are also focusing more on these missions, so let's tell others that we're here and prepared to help. Best, Karen~ Karen L.

Message-ID: How about back to Tom's orginal question? At my local sq at Palo Alto, California, we are having an all-hands participation in our local airport open house Sept 29. We park our plane and recruiting booth smack between the local pilot/airport association host of the day's events and our city's fire and police force. We do static line patrol and provide a cadet color guard for an opening ceremony. Often the local Red Cross and USCGAux comes thanks to many, many invites to them from CAP over the years and when they show up, we set up very close to them. We make a lot of useful swapped-biz-card contacts. For example, a few years ago our city police battle wagon programmed in key radio contact freqs with CAP. We also participate on a n annual ground SAR exercise with out local county sheriff SAR team woch are always actove in local disasters. So.... last year when the city battle wagon was dipatched to help with Occupy Oakland, CAP radio freqs were primed and ready to go if needed by local cops whpw first hand our capabilities and call-out procedures. Sometimes the best training and relationship building is done at community events like airport open houses and Red Cross disaster preparedness events. Cheers to all, Alice >>September is national Disaster Preparedness Month.

The responsibility of a PAO is different in that he/she is responsible for the image of CAP in general. When first joining CAP, usually the PAO is focused on learning more about the organization, how it works or functions within the community, impacts the future of our leaders (cadets) and just what CAP is and does as part of our congressionaly mandated missions. The PIO must be experienced and have gained the confidence to work emergency / training missions. There is a significant difference as my personal professional training taught me, and all those professional practioners will agree. Let's not forget, that all PAOs do not want to serve as PIOs.

For example, being a manager for mission radio communications is MUCH different from being a squadron Comm Officer or wing Director of Communications. Yes, they both involve radios, but what they do is very different. -Michael- On 9/7/2013 8:03 AM, Karen Copenhaver wrote: > /* > With respect, I do not agree..... mainly because being a PIO is more > specialized and focused on emergency services.

But, if you look at the FEMA training required of PIOs, CAP does not prescribe any of that training for our PIOs, some of whom may be PIOs but are not PAO rated. The reverse problem is that of PAOs who have no PIO training, and working as a PIO is not the same as being a PAO. The merry dance starts when the emergency chooses a PAO, with no PIO able to help either onsite or via communications because the hurricane, tornado or earthquake has broken down all links, and the IC who supervises that PA person has insufficient PA training too. So here is a a blind-leading-the-blind situation, a recipe for disaster. I have advocated for some time the idea that a PAO should not rise above technician unless that PAO also becomes a FEMA-compliant PIO, and a master-rated PAO should be at least a senior-rated FEMA-compliant PIO. How else would a wing PAO who is not PIO rated be an effective resource person for the wing's PAOs and PIOs? Separating PAOs from PIOs is a mistake. But an even bigger mistake is having PIOs who are not PAOs too. Arthur ~ __________________________________ ARTHUR E. WOODGATE, Lt.

By the end of the day, all the bills of lading, conversations with the EM and other support staff were not only logged, but printed out and delivered to the EM within 30 minutes of the operation shut down. They had hard copies printed out showing what went where, who took it, and when it was deployed. At one time we had 150 Tractor Trailer Rigs on the yard of a former citrus plant. It worked exceedingly well. The biggest amount of fun I got was having National Guard Officers drop in to tell me that they were former CAP Cadets and were pleased to see the professionalism and involvement of my support staff. The funniest thing I can recall was one cadet who wore glasses was given a safety briefing concerning forklifts, and the routes they would take into and out of a huge freezer. As he came out of the freezer, his glasses fogged over so I added an additional warning about fog appearing out of nowhere during the day. He looked at me with a serious expression, until I told him to wipe the condensation off of his glasses, then he enjoyed the laugh that the other cadets were giving him. You can't work too closely with sister agencies. Our people MUST be consummate professionals and provide more effort than anyone else in order to be respected for the job that volunteer professionals can do for the other organizations.

Colonel, CAP ESF 13 Chair for the Lake County FL EOC From: Alice Mansell Sent: Friday, September 06, 2013 6:49 PM To: CAP Public Affairs Officers Subject: [PAO] CAP and disaster relief. How about back to Tom's orginal question? At my local sq at Palo Alto, California, we are having an all-hands participation in our local airport open house Sept 29. We park our plane and recruiting booth smack between the local pilot/airport association host of the day's events and our city's fire and police force. We do static line patrol and provide a cadet color guard for an opening ceremony. Often the local Red Cross and USCGAux comes thanks to many, many invites to them from CAP over the years and when they show up, we set up very close to them. We make a lot of useful swapped-biz-card contacts. For example, a few years ago our city police battle wagon programmed in key radio contact freqs with CAP. We also participate on a n annual ground SAR exercise with out local county sheriff SAR team woch are always actove in local disasters. So.... last year when the city battle wagon was dipatched to help with Occupy Oakland, CAP radio freqs were primed and ready to go if needed by local cops whpw first hand our capabilities and call-out procedures. Sometimes the best training and relationship building is done at community events like airport open houses and Red Cross disaster preparedness events. Cheers to all, Alice >>September is national Disaster Preparedness Month. I was just curious about >>How many PAO’s are writing articles about how their wings are/have been training to address local disaster response. >Tom Traver -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ CAP-PAO mailing list CAP-PAO at lists.sempervigilans.org http://lists.sempervigilans.org/mailman/listinfo/cap-pao -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

That reminds me of working in JICs at national FEMA exercises in Las Vegas and Long Beach with lots of military support many years ago. Once in with a PIO slot in the JIC and some CAP pre-tasked air and ground sortie, after CAP does a good job the more work is thrown our way. Just staying in our comfortable CAP-only exercises means we only get called out for major disasters and never just local or state ones, not even for exercises. I am often tempted to say CAP should never do CAP-only disaster exercises, but at least have a Red Cross or an ES agency observer present. The days of sitting on our air-SAR monopoly to justify our "ES" organizational mission is over, especially now that our 121.5 ELT missions have dried up. Unit PAOs can help with this other-agency relationship building as part of their external public affairs function. They should as a best practice coordinate closely wth their unit ES staff and get a MIO rating as soon as possible. One place to start is having your CAP unit join your local airport association as a member or supportng associate and/or any other community group involved in advising airport management. PAOs can join those groups as a private person or even sometimes in CAP uniform if they are careful about federal and state lobbying laws.

There was no PIO available, and only a relatively inexperienced PAO did the job. We were able to support that PAO from TXWG HQ, but it was uphill all the way.This PAO did not choose to be a PIO; it just fell on that one person because no one else was available. But in some cases, such as when Katrina hit New Orleans, all communications were down, and access was disrupted by floods. The "PIO training issue" is not really a stumbling block. For a PAO to qualify as a PIO, it is very easy. And all PAOs ought to be prepared for the day when an emergency makes that PAO the de-facto PIO. The converse is not easy, though. The CAP ES requirement for PIO qualification is pitifully sketchy, and a PIO who has done the required ES tasks (less than a day is all that's needed), will be far less capable than a PAO with even a technician rating. FEMA provides PIOs with acceptable PAO training; CAP's PAO training is far better than FEMA's. This is the real problem, with many PIOs who are not PAOs, and when the emergency strikes, they can't do as good a job as we can because they don't even know how to write a good news release.

There are PIOs being trained and certified in my wing that I have never even heard of. I just see them pop-up on eServices reports -- some from transfers into the wing as well. I would not trust them to speak for the wing during a disaster or mission. And the wing is the operational level of CAP. As the wing PAO, I do not have any authority to control who is certified or even assigned as a PIO in my wing. This practice is perfectly in compliance with regulations.

I'm afraid of the day when an IC * *assigns a PIO just because they are listed as one in eServices in the wing. *" As the wing PAO, I have developed a great relationship with the wing commander AND the wing DO, AND the ICs. It's my job to know and communicate with every PIO qualified for missions. As such, I then am the one the DO and the IC to the mission come to for a recommendation as to a qualified PIO for assignment to the particular mission. That's how our team works. Many days have already come when a PIO has been assigned by an IC... "just because they are listed as qualified in e-services" (that's what eSvcs is for), I then make sure I contact that IC and the assigned PIO, offer my help and guidance to ensure that the PIO and the IC work together for the success of the mission.

At the very root of this is that PA is not part of command training except as just a smattering. As a result, PA is often not understood, and even denigrated.

The Civil Air Patrol recently named Fishbein, a native of Dayton, Ohio, the top CAP cadet in the nation. "I found out during Basic (Cadet Training)," Fishbein said. "I found out as soon as I got back from basic that CAP had coordinated with the Academy and was actually going to let me travel to the event." Fishbein joined the CAP when she was 13 because she believed the Air Force Academy considered CAP experience on applications, she said. "I ended up completely falling in love with the program," she said. "CAP kept me really focused and headed in the right direction." Retired Gen. Stephen Lorenz, a 1973 Academy graduate and head of the USAFA Endowment, was the guest speaker at the award ceremony. Several other Academy alumni also attended. "It was my first time talking to Academy graduates outside of the Academy since coming here," Fishbein said. "It was really neat, seeing where I could potentially be in 10 or 15 years." She said highlights of her CAP experience included a trip to Australia for an International Air Cadet Exchange and a Pararescue orientation course at Kirtland Air Force Base, N.M. "I got the chance to meet (Defense Secretary) Leon Panetta when he was the director of the CIA ... just a number of super-cool opportunities," she said. "But I also spent a lot of time in my local squadron and worked through some of the leadership positions there." Those leadership positions prepared Fishbein to take an active role in her squadron, said Lt. Col. DeAnna Franks, air officer commanding for Cadet Squadron 17. "In a very short time, Fishbein has set the bar high for all four degrees in CS 17 and other squadrons in the wing," Franks said. "Her impressive Civil Air Patrol background and her experience attending a preparatory school comes across in her every move in squadron military training, inspections and physical tests. I'm excited to see where her future Air Force journey takes her." Fishbein keeps in touch with her former squadron-mates, many of whom are active-duty Airmen now, she said. "Some are in ROTC, some are here and at the other military academies, and some are kicking butt in the civilian world," she added. She said she plans to continue her involvement with CAP. The Air Academy Cadet Squadron meets regularly on base. "If I'm a pilot, it'll be pretty tricky to have any kind of significant involvement for a few years," she said. "But it was an extremely invaluable program to me. I know I was super grateful to all the mentors I had, especially the ones from the Air Force and the Academy. I would pick their brains on everything ... they answered a lot of questions for me and provided good examples." Nominees for the cadet of the year award are first selected to compete at the squadron level. Squadron selectees compete through 52 CAP wings, then in one of eight geographic regions. Those eight finalists meet a national review panel. CAP provides roughly 10 percent of the Academy's cadets, according to the organization's fact sheet. It conducts roughly 90 percent of Air Force search-and-rescue operations within the U.S. and offers orientation flights in both powered and glider aircraft. CAP is open to anyone 12 years old and older.

In addition to fundamentals, the public affairs academy focused on how to develop messages that create a greater impact by targeting specific stakeholders, using emerging technologies, and utilizing current trends in public relations. This year's academy used a cloud-based file share application for distributing academy information and collecting completed assignments. The candidates developed stories and made mock images. The next step was to learn to use the content management system employed by Florida Wing to create web pages. The content was also used to practice uploading articles and photos to the Southeast Region Online News feed. The participants learned valuable interviewing skills to use for gathering quotes for written releases or creating video content. Each team formed its own production crew that shot a video interview. The interview exercise also allowed members to practice using talking points for interviews. On Sunday, the academy covered the basics of planning and how to localize the priorities established under national headquarters' current strategic plan. The discussion focused on the new CAP branding standards, increased recognition of member diversity, creating visibility through community services projects, building partnerships with local agencies and civic clubs, and keeping local congressional representatives informed on CAP activities and helping them to prepare justification for their support of CAP funding. The capstone exercise on Sunday afternoon allowed the candidates to utilize the skills they had developed over the weekend. The record-setting attendance pushed the limits of the City of Orlando Emergency Operation Center. Only half of the academy participants currently hold a public affairs duty assignment. The weekend also included social activities for the academy candidates to relax and network. Cadets participating in the academy were joined by local cadet members for an evening at a local theme park while senior members gather for dinner at a local restaurant. It took a team effort to put this complex event together. Mostly it is was the enthusiasm and the continued engagement of the academy participants that made the event so successful. There are over 4 dozen CAP members with a new perspective about how to effectively tell the CAP story. CAP Instructors for the course included: Maj. Jeffery Carlson; 2nd Lt. Wayne Hooks, 1st Lt Tyler Lahnen; Capt Ernie Lee: C/Lt Col Elena Lee; Capt Dennis Maloney; Lt. Col. Obie Young. Academy support staff included Capt. William McCombie; Capt. Christina English and cadets from the Central Florida Cadet Squadron.

Each team was required to post content to the academy Facebook page and compose a Tweet that included the academy hash tag. This was a great learning opportunity. For some members, it was their first time using Dropbox, Twitter and even Facebook. The academy Facebook page was created specifically to be used for the training exercises. I first considered a Facebook group and opted instead for a unique page rather than using the main FLWG Facebook site. This gives the option of closing the page after the academy. We created a unique web site that was used during the exercises to create web pages for the same reason. It was special to see members using social media and making web pages for the first time; it peeled away the mystery and they could recognized the potential. It's one thing to make a list on a PowerPoint slide, it is yet another to create an opportunity for practical experience in a guided learning environment. Talk about empowerment! The participants learned about utilizing multiple communication channels (including CAP radio nets) to gain better control over delivering the message and even target a specific audience. The goal was to get content creators to see beyond writing a single release and then hoping to get it published by traditional media. Instead we focused on identifying the target audience and selecting an appropriate communication channel prior to writing the release and then developing the message based on the interests of the selected audience. We discussed content marketing, developing special use web pages and then using Twitter and Facebook to bring the audience back to the unit web site. I know every mama crow thinks her baby is the blackest. But this was an effective training event because we minimized the passive learning from PowerPoint slides and maximized the active hands-on experience which help put the key points in real-world context and achieve authentic learning. The workgroups allowed more experienced members to mentor their teammates. Based on the feedback I have received from participants, this was a highly successful training event!

Cadet Programs is telling units that receive the award that they "may use the Quality Logo on their unit website, letterhead, recruiting materials and other squadron publications." I have a concern with how some may interpret that and override CAP branding guidelines. It makes sense to put on the website, but where could be an issue. I could see some swapping it for the CAP logo or placing in a more prominent position that CAP. Has this been coordinated through a PAO at any level? It's a good idea but could be counterproductive to the efforts of PAOs trying to manage the image of CAP online and print locally. http://www.capmembers.com/cadet_programs/library/quality_cadet_unit_award.cf m v/r -- PAUL S.

Temporarily unpublishing a Facebook Page is an option we have been given because comments cannot be turned off. This feature may be useful for "hiding" a CAP activity page or training page instead of leaving it public and not regularly updating. I didn't know this was an option, so passing it along here. Paul * You can "unpublish" (vs. delete -- DO NOT DELETE!!) a page on Facebook. Here's how: Any page admin can "unpublish" which means the page is only visible to the admins, and any existing content is retained. This is different from deleting a page - if you delete your page, the page AND the content will be removed from Facebook. (Do NOT do this!) Edit Page -> Manage Permission -> Page Visibility "Only admins can see this page." More info at https://www.facebook.com/help/?faq=15190 v/r -- PAUL S.
