About me
Hey there! 👋 I'm Constance "Sue" Sheffer, your go-to person when it comes to navigating the world of Emergency Alerts and Response System (EARS). I've been donning the hat of Technical Lead for EARS at USGS since 2020, ensuring that when things hit the fan, we're prepared and on point and you can communicate with your employees quickly and efficiently.
But wait, there's more! I can also help with any questions you may have about Government Emergency Telecommunications Services for USGS, better known as GETS/WPS. There is nothing worse during an emergency to make a call and receive that dreaded "All Circuits Are Busy" announcement. With a GETS or WPS account you will not have to face that, and I can help you get that service. If you are part of your organization's Continuity plan than you should have an account.
If your organization is sailing into choppy waters were communicating via regular work email just won't cut it, you definitely want to have a chat with me. I'm all about finding solutions that go beyond the usual and make sure that when it comes to emergency communication, we're not just sending messages; we're creating solutions.
Now, when I'm not immersed in the world of Emergency Communications, you'll likely find me in my kitchen, on a quest to perfect the art of Sourdough bread. There's just something about that tangy goodness that keeps me experimenting and striving for the perfect loaf. Oh, and speaking of experiments, I'm also a Macaron aficionado. Testing out flavor pairings is my jam, pun intended!
But it's not all about the kitchen for me. I've got a soft spot for mysteries, whether it's listening to podcasts, audio books or reading I'm all about trying to guess whodunit before the end. And when I'm not buried in a book or elbow-deep in flour, I'm out there making a difference in the lives of some furry friends.
I volunteer with a dog rescue, where I've become the go-to human for 5 senior dogs, each with a unique story to tell.
So, if you're looking for someone who can balance the intricacies of emergency communication with a passion for perfecting pastries and a heart for four-legged friends, let's chat. Because when it comes to emergencies, a little tech-savvy mixed with a dash of heart goes a long way! ☕🚀🐾
