Podcasts about Cyclone Debbie

I'm going to take you back to 2017, when Cyclone Debbie hit large parts of my home state of Queensland, and I was leading the internal comms team at a big insurance company. In this case study episode, I'm going to talk you through the steps my team and I took to communicate during this crisis - the channels we used, what messaging we used, and our tools and processes - to show you how the three crisis communication principles work in practice.It's a peek behind the curtain of crisis communication 'in real life', and a reminder to all leaders and communication professionals that being prepared is the best way to manage communication during a crisis.Links mentioned in this episodePodcast episode 9: Three key principles of crisis communicationUpcoming Crisis Communication Bootcamp registrationSay hi!Follow me on LinkedInFind out what I'm up to InstagramCheck out my websiteAsk a question

'Hot Debrief' Episode 3 - Superintendent (Ret) Tony Waller OAM - Fire Rescue NSW and Surf Lifesaving NSW.Anthony (Tony) Waller OAM has been a Surf Lifesaver for 48 years starting in 1975, including 39 years as a rescue helicopter rescue swimmer and crewman and loves every day of it.  In addition, just a few months ago, Tony hung up his helmet after 41 years in Fire Rescue NSW, retiring as a Superintendent following an impressive career. In recognition of this outstanding service to the NSW Community, Tony was awarded an Order of Australia Medal in 2021.Named as a “Hero of the Surf” in 1994 after a run of dramatic rescues, Tony has pioneered developments in helicopter rescue operations specialising in aquatic rescue techniques.  Tony talks us through is unwavering focus on training, training, training to ensure that no matter what situation presents itself you can be as prepared as possible to undertake whatever the task is and give those in need of rescue the best possible chance of survival.Tony has dedicated over 30 years to the education of firefighters in both Rescue/ USAR and Officer Development, but it is within the sphere of Rescue and USAR that Tony's distinguished service and influence shines.  Commencing as a Primary Rescue Unit Trainer (PRUT) the early 1990's, He promoted to Station Officer and became a Senior Rescue / USAR Instructor for 10 years delivering training to hundreds of firefighters across Australia.Tony is a subject matter expert in many areas of technical rescue and has operational experience both Nationally and Internationally.  His resume is both impressive and expansive:•          Team Leader: Taskforce AUS 3 Christchurch Earthquake (2011)•          Operations Officer: NSW Taskforce 1, Cyclone Debbie, Proserpine (2017)•          Base Manager: Northern Rivers Floods 500-person Camp (2017)•          Operations Officer: AUS 2 United Nations USAR Reclassification (2018)•          Reconnaissance Team Leader AUS 2 United Nations Classification (2013)•          Previous delegate on UN's INSARAG Training Writing Team.•          Instructor: INSARAG Asia Pacific Regional Earthquake Response Exercise (Malaysia 2013, Nepal 2009)•          Instructor: USAR Coordination Cell Training Course Thai Govt. Agencies. (Mar 2019)•          Lead Coordinator: INSARAG Earthquake Response Exercise Chiang Mai Thailand (Dec 2019)Tony was also instrumental in the development and delivery of the first Swiftwater rescue training courses run by FRNSW in the early 2000's and was personally responsible for training numerous firefighters to technician level.  Tony was sent to Las Angeles County Fire Department by FRNSW Commissioner Ian McDougal as a recipient of a Firefighter development program in 1998.Tony was also heavily involved in competing in Road Crash Rescue contests both Nationally and Internationally.  He was a member of the Burwood team that was twice World Champions and also  won the World Best Medic Trophy in 1999, 2000, and 2002 and rewrote the manner in which patients of motor vehicle accidents were treated and extricated by medics.  The process taught today to our FF's was developed by Tony.So standby for a fantastic chat with a true rescue hero of our community.----------------Please check out our website: www.heart2heartwalk.org which contains links to handy links.

John's defence lawyer Craig Eberhardt smashes the credibility of three key Australia Day witnesses as they try to deny obvious references to illicit drug use in text messages about “lollies”. Their evidence of hearing John say hatefully that Shandee should be stabbed is undermined. Craig highlights a tenuous purported DNA 'link' between William Daniel and the murder - and when a forensic scientist says it is statistically "meaningless", the judge tells the jury to ignore his comment. Cyclone Debbie looms and tensions rise as William Daniel's lengthy criminal history is read to the jury, sparking fiery scenes.

It was a real thrill and pleasure to chat recently on Legends with Bevo with the man they call Johnny Fish who has played a huge part in restoring Daydream Island after it was hit by Cyclone Debbie in 2017. We spoke about the recovery process after the cyclone, Johnny's role as Marine Biologist, what makes Daydream Island so special, Johnny's passion for the Living Reef and how Covid has effected the resort. Thanks so much to Johnny for his time and the team at Daydream for allowing me to chat with him and to Rory Noke from PodBooth for a wonderful job of editing the video and adding some great photos and video footage.

Terrifying experience of mother natures fury's.

“The only time we really, really innovate is when we have come up against some sort of block; it’s when we come up against adversity.”Terry Hawkins, who spoke with Project Leap presenters Meredith Papas and Tara Jacobsen-Neven during a Special Edition of their podcast this week, has had to reinvent herself time and again. As a poor little girl, growing up amid hardship and abuse, the now world-renowned and top ranking speaker has a simple outlook on life. Project Leap interviewed Terry as a special edition ahead of an event she is speaking at in the Whitundays.  Terry is speaking to business people and community leaders in The Whitsundays this Saturday in the wake of the devastation wreaked on the North Queensland region by Cyclone Debbie and the fall out this has caused to businesses. 

Michelle O'Reagen from Stackelroth Farms in North Queensland, tells Ross why this year's Halloween is a treat following the devastation of Cyclone Debbie, that saw 50,000 butternut pumpkin seedlings wiped out.

“It’s about time the role agriculture plays in the climate crisis – and the role it COULD  play in the solution –  got a concentrated dose of attention.” Bill Mc Kibben Our 26 million head-strong beef cattle – and 75 million head of sheep – ruminant meat and livestock industry is now responsible for more than half of Australia’s GHG’s and methane, and the near term climate change they are creating. So, is this an industry that can ever really be climate-safe?Gerard Wedderburn-Bisshop, University of Queensland’s Professor Ram Dalal and CSIRO’s Dr Michael Battaglia will join BZE Radio’s Vivien Langford to consider:Can improved pastures, and other interventions such as seaweed supplement, really kelp? Um, help.Is it just time to reduce the national herd?Are carbon abatement schemes and offsets sold by farmers having any effect on rising emissions?Thank you to our guests:Gerard Wedderburn-Bisshop is the co- author of BZE land use discussion paper released in 2014: Land Use: Agriculture and Forestry. This report concluded that agriculture, and especially our northern rangelands grazing industry, is a much more important source of near-term GHG emissions than industry or government greenhouse reporting will admit. But the land use report insists that it is also the biggest most immediate opportunity for mitigation. Gerard has 20 years experience in monitoring land clearing in Queensland. More from Gerard on agricultural emissions here.Professor Ram Dalal led the National Soil Carbon Programme from 2012-2015. He is a professor in the School of Agriculture and Food Science at University of Queensland and one of his key research interests is GHG mitigation.Dr Michael Battaglia is the Group Leader Greenhouse gas mitigation and adaptation in agriculture at CSIRO. His article in The Conversation shows how seaweed can cut methane emissions by sheep and cattle. It also shows how wide the search is to lower the impact of livestock on the climate – but are these schemes capable of working in Australia’s various animal agriculture industries? The big news is that, globally, methane concentrations are on the rise. And the accelerated ‘near-term’ warming this causes is now largely thought to come down to ‘livestock methane’, aka animal agriculture. So, in this show, BZE Radio begins to shine a light on livestock methane.Of course, the question on everybody’s lips is ‘what are the opportunities available to us to change the way we do animal agriculture and that could make the best impact in the shortest possible timeframe. Can we do that in a way that is great for family farmers, good for our biggest high-emitting agricultural corporate players, and for regional Australia as a whole?’In Australia the opportunities for mitigating animal agriculture GHGs are a little hidden from view. Why?Well, the fact is that our go-to GHG inventory, the national inventory report (NIR), masks the fact that animal agricultural activities are our single largest source of GHG emissions each year. In fact most of us, incorrectly, assume the NIR is correct when it tells us that our electricity generation sector is Australia’s largest emitter.Looking at the impact on this decade and the next one, according to BZE analysis of ‘excluded’ GHGs and near-term impacts, agricultural activities contribute to over 50% of our annual national total emissions. And so, if remedied, could halve our national emissions.  How can we most effectively address the low-profile but high-impact non-CO2 GHG’s – especially methane, but also carbon monoxide, carbon black, tropospheric ozone, and nitrous oxide? These gases all arise from animal agriculture, including savanna burning, land-clearing, re-clearing and growing feed via industrialised agriculture.This area of research is grippingly important. It’s why we are thrilled to bring you a program highlighting what we can do in agriculture right now that will have the best climate impact.Next week we will look at the impact of Land clearing on climate change. In Australia 90% of land clearing and re-clearing is for extending and maintaining rangelands for both domestic and export cattle production. Immediately ceasing land clearing and re-clearing is therefore a major opportunity for GHG mitigation.Further reading:Zero Carbon Australia Land use: Agriculture and Forestry Discussion Paper 2014Seaweed Could Hold the Key to Cutting Methane Emissions from Cow BurpsWhat’s At Steak: The Real Cost of Meat  Global Forest Coalition 2016Tackling Climate Change through Livestock: A global assessment of emissions and mitigation opportunities, Food and Agriculture Organization Full PDF  Article summaryThis show is dedicated to Goldman Environmental Prize winner and farmer Wendy Bowman, as well as all those many farmers still mopping up after Cyclone Debbie.If you’d like to contribute to the restoration of normality for farmers affected by the cyclone, please join us in supporting the Foundation for Rural and Regional Renewal’s Cyclone Debbie Restoration Fund – sometimes even the most resilient communities need a helping hand. 03 54302399 www.frrr.org.au http://www.frrr.org.au/cb_…/cyclone_debbie_recovery_fund.php
