1) Perspective and guidance (from about a half-dozen PIOs of police/fire/first responder agencies) to the Indianapolis Social Media community. They include ISP, IFD, IMPD, Speedway Police and Wayne Township Fire Department.
2) Introduction of a newly-formed nonprofit: Friends of Indiana Disaster Search Dogs, a 501(c)3 organization that supports the canines and dog handlers that are part of Indiana Task Force 1. Dogs have been part of the FEMA Urban Search and Rescue Team since 1993.

A big, big thank you to our regular sponsor: 12 Stars Media.
And thanks to the Wayne Township Emergency Services Center at Wayne Township Fire Department/ for hosting the event; The Brown Bag Indy, which is catering the event; and Chimney Safety Institute of America, a Plainfield-based nonprofit which underwrote the lunch for our public safety guests.
A great list to follow on first responders to follow was authored by Jordan Whitt.
