ABOUT TOBIAS WATSON

I work the same way I drive: I find gaps, I close gaps. My goal is to lead through impactful simple and routine trainings and exercises. I continually strive to create better strategies by understanding the actual frontline needs of my staff and clients and innovating unique preparedness efforts for them. This is only possible by having direct communication and relationships with those I serve. Creator of Scenario Sunday series on LinkedIn Creator of the FEMA Training Roadmap Designed simple and repeatable disaster drills Implemented mini tabletop exercises for Incident Command staff to practice situational assessments and initial response planning I\'m just a guy trying to learn from everyone else. As someone who chooses to learn, I also choose to share my knowledge. No matter how little and simple or extensive and complex, it is my duty to share what I know. Which is why I can be found on LinkedIn not only for myself but for the improvement of our field and those aspiring to join and grow in it. I have been around the emergency response field since I was a kid. Living in Florida I would assist in disaster relief efforts helping serve meals to responders and survivors alike. After moving to Oklahoma my father rejoined a fire department and I soon became a volunteer firefighter when I turned 18. I was a high achiever in my firefighting and EMT classes receiving class promotions and awards for my during competitions, training exercises, and classroom studies. My degree in International Rescue & Relief from Union College gave me a multitude of skills and experiences that prepared me for work in search and rescue, pre-hospital emergency care, emergency management, disaster relief, and global humanitarian fields.
