July 2 – July 3, 2014

Today’s Good News
Kudos to Communications Officer Nancy Morey who was named the Department’s Communications Officer of the Month for May! Like the dark clouds in the sky before a storm, CO Morey knew some bad weather was coming to Richmond on May 22. Thanks to her observation of the weather monitor and her 27-years of experience, she was able to get the Division of Emergency Communications prepared BEFORE the bad storm hit.

She initiated several protocols and assisted with getting a third fire channel up and running. She also coordinated with fire channel operators to make all the necessary notifications to the Battalion Chiefs, Fire Marshals, Building Inspectors and EMS.

This is just one of the many examples of her hard work last month. She also:

*instructed two VCIN recertification classes,
*attended Victim Information and Notification training,
*worked diligently to improve Data Room operations, and
*she even volunteered to take the lead on sending a “Happy Basket” to support a fellow agency that lost one of its communications officers.

Thank you and congratulations to our Communications Officer of the Month: Nancy Morey!
