In October of 2021, a five year old boy was reported missing in Merrimack, New Hampshire after he hadn't been seen for over a month. Any missing child is an emergency. Or should be. Except his mother, whose custody he had been in for just over a year, wasn't who reported him missing.Why was Elijah Lewis even living with his mother at the time?And why did she want him gone?

Drones in the emergency response space is not a new idea, however we have seen a growth of the application and use of drones by both small and large jurisdictions. Drones are a great tool. Today we sit-down with Chief Charles Werner (ret.) a world wide drone expert and director of Droneresponders. Drones empower emergency managers and first responders to evaluate serious disaster situations. With realtime information that complements the information reported  from on the ground personnel, drones help complete the operational picture. Today drones have artificial intelligence , machine learning, augmented reality, infrared as some of their capabilities.DRONERESPONDERS is a non-profit program created to unite these new aerial first responders, emergency managers, and search and rescue specialists under a unified organization to help learn, train, and test with one another with the ultimate objective of maximizing drone operations for public safety.

With remote work more popular than ever, it's important to consider the unique ways that emergencies and disasters may affect these employees. Employees who work from home should be sure to have a plan to deal with common emergencies and disasters. Technology can also help when it comes to emergency preparedness by enabling employees to connect to the internet, access important files and documents, and maintain a clear line of communication. Remote work during an emergency or disaster will indeed be much different than remote work during normal times — there may be additional challenges and stressors that require different solutions than normal. In the aftermath of a disaster, it's important to be flexible, understanding, and take your employees' needs into account.Rodrigo Nieto GómezWeb -https://nps.edu/web/nsa/faculty/-/asset_publisher/eHb4tK5KXorI/content/rodtrigo-nieto-gomez-ph-d-Twitter - https://twitter.com/rodrigonietoFacebook -https://www.facebook.com/rodrigonietogomezLinkedIn -https://www.linkedin.com/in/rodrigonietogomez/YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC04pcvAgqE5xh8X6lOIC3zATodd De VoeWebsite - https://toddtdevoe.com/Website- www.crisis-cafe.comSpeak N Spark-https://bit.ly/3sTVUfrLinkedIn - https://bit.ly/3sVHL1gEM WeeklyWebsite - https://bit.ly/3jj5ItlTwitter - https://bit.ly/31z8MeXFacebook - https://bit.ly/3dMlbRPLinkedIn - https://bit.ly/34mXyfzYouTube - https://bit.ly/2FQDhWdSister ShowsEM Student Web -https://bit.ly/2Hw0sFxTwitter - https://bit.ly/31z8MeXFacebook - https://bit.ly/3dMlbRPLinkedIn - https://bit.ly/34mXyfzYouTube - https://bit.ly/2FQDhWdThe Business Continuity ShowTwitter - https://bit.ly/3ojEIO2Facebook - https://bit.ly/2Tjqv5HLinkedIn - https://bit.ly/34mXyfzYouTube - https://bit.ly/3mePJyGSponsors Outer Limit Supply https://bit.ly/2FR26Bp Coupon Code “EMWEEKLY” Power Up- https://www.powerupconnect.com/Mid-Atlantic Center for Emergency Management- https://macem.org/Home.aspxIf you would like to become a sponsor or advertiser Call Sitch Radio (714) 643-2500 X 1

The 46th Annual Natural Hazards Research and Applications Workshop will be organized around the theme of The Hazards and Disaster Workforce: Preparing to Meet 21st Century Challenges.Our ability to reduce disaster risk has always depended on the people who do the work. This includes leaders who set a vision for a more just and sustainable future, researchers who push the boundaries of discovery, and practitioners who help prepare communities for a range of threats.As climate change accelerates and disaster losses mount, our future depends on fostering a well-trained workforce with strong adaptive capacity. At present, however, it is not clear that we have the people, resources, or institutional structures necessary to address the social roots of risk that turn natural hazards into human catastrophes. This focus on the current status of our field and the future of work is urgent.Conversations at this year's Workshop will center around how the workforce we have can support and build the workforce we need. How does the size and composition of the hazards and disaster workforce shape the ability to respond to and recover from extreme events? What sort of mentoring and skill building do researchers, practitioners, and volunteer responders need? What jobs have become obsolete and which need to be filled or created? How can we meet the escalating risks and inequalities of today, while still investing in programs and policies that will reduce future hazards losses?These are just some of the questions we will pursue as we highlight efforts aimed at cultivating a demographically diverse and highly skilled workforce. We will also explore societal transitions that shape labor demands and carefully consider what gaps exist in hazards workforce development, education, and training. As we take stock of who we are and how we approach our work, we will chart a strategy for the future that ensures we are ready to rise together to meet 21st century challenges.As always, we strive to build a rich program that includes many different perspectives and plenty of opportunities for engagement. We are excited to learn from you as we chart this path together.Natural Hazard CenterWeb - https://hazards.colorado.edu/workshop/2021/themeTwitter - https://twitter.com/HazCenterFacebook -https://www.facebook.com/hazcenterYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGAwcjY0T0XHz0CmlFKGuQwTodd De VoeWebsite - https://toddtdevoe.com/Website- www.crisis-cafe.comSpeak N Spark-https://bit.ly/3sTVUfrLinkedIn - https://bit.ly/3sVHL1gEM WeeklyWebsite - https://bit.ly/3jj5ItlTwitter - https://bit.ly/31z8MeXFacebook - https://bit.ly/3dMlbRPLinkedIn - https://bit.ly/34mXyfzYouTube - https://bit.ly/2FQDhWdSister ShowsEM Student Web -https://bit.ly/2Hw0sFxTwitter - https://bit.ly/31z8MeXFacebook - https://bit.ly/3dMlbRPLinkedIn - https://bit.ly/34mXyfzYouTube - https://bit.ly/2FQDhWdThe Business Continuity ShowTwitter - https://bit.ly/3ojEIO2Facebook - https://bit.ly/2Tjqv5HLinkedIn - https://bit.ly/34mXyfzYouTube - https://bit.ly/3mePJyGSponsors Outer Limit Supply https://bit.ly/2FR26Bp Coupon Code “EMWEEKLY” Power Up- https://www.powerupconnect.com/Mid-Atlantic Center for Emergency Management- https://macem.org/Home.aspxIf you would like to become a sponsor or advertiser Call Sitch Radio (714) 643-2500 X 1

The full organization of the ICS structure is large. However, the full organization is rarely implemented. The organization can expand and contract depending on how many people are needed at any given moment. In a large crisis, the whole structure could be implemented, but in a smaller incident, only one, two, or three of these positions might be filled. One person can fill more than one role. The rule of thumb is that every role that is left vacant is filled by the role above it. EM Weekly and Blue Cell are going to take a deeper look into what is the practical application of the Incident Command System and do we need to have an overhaul of the system?

The changing scope and scale of disasters, both natural and technological, have altered the ways in which disaster management and financing are addressed and the roles of private-sector organizations specifically. Businesses and nonprofit organizations are increasingly central to the process, offering critical support in immediate disaster response but also contributing necessary redevelopment funding that supports community recovery. Although these new expectations position the private sector as a key leader in community resilience, these responsibilities have not been fully met with established guidance or clear metrics for how and when these organizations should participate in disaster recovery and financing.This perspective examines key issues confronting the private sector in disaster recovery financing, what roles private-sector entities have played, and where there has been successful integration or leadership of these organizations. The perspective also briefly explores challenges that the private sector faces, with particular attention to issues of information use and application, coordination in response and recovery, and timing of funding.

In recent years, the health impacts of infectious disease outbreaks, natural disasters, industrial and environmental catastrophes, and conflict have captured the world’s attention and reinforced the importance of strengthening public health systems to better protect communities and populations from naturally occurring and human-caused threats. Various approaches and programs have been developed to address these needs in domestic and global contexts, including initiatives to strengthen public health preparedness and global health security. Although much has been written about these approaches, there are few reports on the interface between public health and emergency management—and even less about what we call “public health emergency management” (PHEM).PHEM is an emergent field of practice that draws on specific sets of knowledge, techniques, and organizing principles found in the fields of emergency management and public health that are necessary for the effective management of complex health events and emergencies with serious health impacts. Although concepts such as public health preparedness and global health security include significant components of PHEM, the various terms should not be conflated.Eric McNulty Web - https://ericmcnulty.com/Twitter - https://twitter.com/RicherEarthFacebook -https://www.facebook.com/RicherEarthLinkedIn -https://www.linkedin.com/in/emcnulty/Todd De VoeWebsite - https://toddtdevoe.com/Website- www.crisis-cafe.comSpeak N Spark-https://bit.ly/3sTVUfrLinkedIn - https://bit.ly/3sVHL1gEM WeeklyWebsite - https://bit.ly/3jj5ItlTwitter - https://bit.ly/31z8MeXFacebook - https://bit.ly/3dMlbRPLinkedIn - https://bit.ly/34mXyfzYouTube - https://bit.ly/2FQDhWdSponsors Outer Limit Supply https://bit.ly/2FR26Bp Coupon Code “EMWEEKLY” Power Up- https://www.powerupconnect.com/5.11- https://bit.ly/33daV0aMid-Atlantic Center for Emergency Management- https://macem.org/Home.aspxIf you would like to become a sponsor or advertiser Call Sitch Radio (714) 643-2500 X 1

As we mentioned during last week’s episode, EM Student is going on hiatus while busy researching and recording new episodes for you! For this week’s episode and the next five weeks, we are re-airing episodes from the EM Student archive. I’ve gone through and listened to all of the episodes I could get my hands on and have chosen ones that I think you’ll find interesting and helpful. The episode that I am featuring today is called The National Response Framework, and it aired in September of last year. I chose this episode as the first in this curated series because Dan Scott interviews professor Jude Cole. Professor Cole has a wealth of knowledge and experience in emergency response and emergency management, having worked in these fields for over 40 years. Her resume is impressive and extensive, but both she and Dan cover all of the amazing work that she has done in her career, so I will leave it to them to go into detail during the episode!During her interview with Dan, Professor Cole provides a rich history of Emergency Management in the United States, explains how it parallels her own career and the development of the National Response Framework, and describes the impacts that she has been directly involved with to help shape and guide Emergency Management planning in the US.She also gives an overview of the master's degree program that she is a part of at CSU Long Beach, where students can earn a master's degree in Emergency Services Administration. If you consider pursuing a higher-ed degree in emergency management, pay special attention around 9 minutes into the interview for more information. The program is based in California but has been online for 10 years to accommodate students from other locations and time zones.One other note, the episode about the under-representation of women and people of color in the EM field that Dan mentions at the beginning of the episode and that Professor Cole mentions during the episode will appear again in a few weeks, so keep your eye out.

CREATING A PREPAREDNESS MINDSETWe shouldn’t assume that if people know how and why to prepare that the rest will take care of itself. In order to adopt the wisdom of preparedness, people need a confident understanding of the risks they face, they need to believe that preparedness actions will indeed protect them and their families, and they need an inspirational preparedness example from a relatable person. Ethos Preparedness Events aim to create an enduring preparedness mindset in your workplace.Ethos is making a paradigm shift in how they approach their customer base, with training, workshops and more.Todd De VoeWebsite - https://toddtdevoe.com/Website- www.crisis-cafe.comSpeak N Spark-https://bit.ly/3sTVUfrLinkedIn - https://bit.ly/3sVHL1gEM WeeklyWebsite - https://bit.ly/3jj5ItlTwitter - https://bit.ly/31z8MeXFacebook - https://bit.ly/3dMlbRPLinkedIn - https://bit.ly/34mXyfzYouTube - https://bit.ly/2FQDhWdSister ShowsEM Student Web - https://bit.ly/2Hw0sFxTwitter - https://bit.ly/31z8MeXFacebook - https://bit.ly/3dMlbRPLinkedIn - https://bit.ly/34mXyfzYouTube - https://bit.ly/2FQDhWdThe Business Continuity ShowTwitter - https://bit.ly/3ojEIO2Facebook - https://bit.ly/2Tjqv5HLinkedIn - https://bit.ly/34mXyfzYouTube - https://bit.ly/3mePJyGSponsors Outer Limit Supply https://bit.ly/2FR26Bp Coupon Code “EMWEEKLY” Power Up- https://www.powerupconnect.com/5.11- https://bit.ly/33daV0aMid-Atlantic Center for Emergency Management & Public Safety - https://www.frederick.edu/programs/public-safety.aspxIf you would like to become a sponsor or advertiser Call Sitch Radio (714) 643-2500 X 1
