Nine months after the January wildfires in the Pacific Palisades and Malibu, FEMA may destroy homes that survived the fire damage but do have smoke damage, due to new flood standards known as FEMA flood levels. A nine-year-old kid named Jameson went to a Phillies baseball game and caught a foul ball, then he gave the ball he caught to an 80-year-old woman, because she's “way older.” Three people have been charged with stealing more than $40,000 in FEMA disaster relief funds meant for displaced residents who were impacted by LA's January wildfires.

Our guest on this week's episode is Kathy Fulton, executive director of the American Logistics Aid Network (ALAN). Twenty years ago last month, Hurricane Katrina ravaged the Gulf Coast, leaving in its wake an estimated $125 billion dollars of damage and countless lives changed. It was during this catastrophe that a group logisticians had an idea - and ALAN, the American Logistics Aid Network, was born. Our guest shares the work of ALAN and reflects on the organization's past 20 years of service to the world during times of crisis.The changing trade landscape that supply chains have experienced this year are continuing to impact where around the world products are manufactured and then sourced into the United States. And now it seems that small businesses are playing a larger role when it comes to sourcing, as companies continue to deal with the ups and downs of tariffs. This is according to a report from sourcing solutions provider Supplier.io, released this week. New research shows that e-commerce is swiftly becoming more complex than just the classic image of using your laptop to order from a website and have a product shipped to your home. Geopost, a large French last-mile and parcel delivery firm, surveyed customers across 22 European countries for an annual study on e-commerce trends. They found that sector is changing fast, in large part because of the influence of Gen Z consumers. We tell you what differences this generation is making on online shopping.Supply Chain Xchange also offers a podcast series called Supply Chain in the Fast Lane. It is co-produced with the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals. A new series is now available on Top Threats to our Supply Chains. It covers topics including Geopolitical Risks, Economic Instability, Cybersecurity Risks, Threats to energy and electric grids; Supplier Risks, and Transportation Disruptions Go to your favorite podcast platform to subscribe and to listen to past and future episodes.

There was a desperate tone in his voice.Ja: ユウトの村もタイフーンで大きな被害を受け、彼はずっと妹を探していたのです。En: Yuto's village had also suffered great damage from the typhoon, and he had been searching for his sister all along.Ja: 「心配しないでください、私たちも探します。」エミはそう言って、リナに目を向けました。En: "Don't worry, we'll also search," Emi said, turning her gaze to Rina.Ja: 「もし見つかったら、彼女の治療をお願いできますか?」リナは一瞬怯みましたが、深く息を吸い込み、頷きました。En: "If she's found, could you take care of her treatment?" Rina flinched for a moment, but then she took a deep breath and nodded.Ja: しばらくして、ユウトの妹は村の近くで発見されました。En: After a while, Yuto's sister was found near the village.Ja: 彼女は重傷を負っており、すぐに治療が必要です。En: She was seriously injured and needed immediate treatment.Ja: しかし、今フィールド病院には対応できる医者がいません。En: However, there were no doctors available in the field hospital at that time.Ja: その時、リナは一歩前に進み出ました。「私がやります。」En: It was then that Rina stepped forward. "I'll do it."Ja: 手は震えていましたが、心を落ち着けて彼女は妹の手当てを始めました。En: Her hands were trembling, but she calmed her mind and began attending to the sister.Ja: 必要な処置をひとつひとつ確認しながら、ユウトの不安げな顔を感じ取りました。En: As she confirmed each necessary procedure, she felt Yuto's anxious gaze on her.Ja: リナは自分に言い聞かせます、大丈夫、できると。En: Rina reassured herself, telling herself that she could do it.Ja: そして、彼女の頑張りのおかげで、ユウトの妹は無事に命を救われました。En: Thanks to her hard work, Yuto's sister's life was safely saved.Ja: 「ありがとう、本当にありがとう。」ユウトは涙を流しながら感謝の言葉を述べました。En: "Thank you, truly, thank you," Yuto expressed his gratitude with tears streaming down his face.Ja: リナの心は暖かい勇気で満たされました。En: Rina's heart was filled with a warm courage.Ja: それから、フィールド病院では彼女の存在がより頼もしく思えました。En: From then on, her presence in the field hospital felt more reliable.Ja: リナは自分の恐怖を乗り越え、さらに強くなったことを実感しました。En: Rina realized that she had overcome her fears and had become stronger.Ja: 外ではまだ台風の影響で波が打ち寄せていましたが、フィールド病院には希望の光が差し込んでいました。En: Outside, the waves still rolled in due to the typhoon's impact, but within the field hospital, a light of hope shone.Ja: リナは結局、自分自身に証明しました。En: In the end, Rina proved to herself.Ja: 彼女は恐怖を克服し、より強く、有能になったのです。En: She had conquered her fears, becoming stronger and more capable.Ja: どんな嵐が来ても、今度はしっかりと立ち向かうことができるでしょう。En: No matter what storm comes, she would be able to face it firmly next time.Ja: フィールド病院から空を見上げると、その向こうに新しい未来が広がっているように感じました。En: Looking up at the sky from the field hospital, she felt as if a new future was unfolding beyond it.

Hours later, his access was revoked, and he was effectively fired by the Trump Administration. In this episode of the Disaster Tough Podcast, Hamilton shares the inside story of that testimony, the fallout with DHS, and why he chose survivors over politics, even though it cost him his job.Host John Scardena calls FEMA the “IRS of disasters” because so much of the agency's work revolves around grants, reimbursements, and auditing rather than direct disaster response. Hamilton explains why FEMA has become overloaded with non-core missions and why shifting responsibilities to other agencies is smarter than eliminating FEMA altogether.Hamilton also discusses his survivor-first reforms, including the FEMA “pizza tracker” for disaster assistance, and his belief in empowering regional leaders to act quickly, even at the risk of audit scrutiny. Drawing from his background as a Navy SEAL medic and State Department crisis responder, he shares hard-won lessons on leadership, risk-taking, and team building.Listen now for Cameron Hamilton's unfiltered perspective on FEMA reform, survivor-centric leadership, and why he risked his career to speak honestly before Congress.
In this episode, we sit down with Altamush Saeed, an interspecies justice lawyer, educator, and nonprofit leader who is reshaping how Pakistan thinks about animals, people, and the environment. From being rescued by a cat named Mau, to leading community dog feeding campaigns during COVID, to organising large-scale rescues during Pakistan's 2022 floods, Altamush's story shows how deeply human and animal lives are intertwined in times of crisis.He reflects on how trauma, climate change, and compassion intersect, and why he believes food systems, human rights, and animal rights must be understood together. Drawing on his faith, Altamush explains why factory farming is impermissible under Islamic principles of mercy and stewardship, and shares how training Imams to deliver Friday sermons on animals and the environment is sparking grassroots change across communities.Along the way, he discusses founding Pakistan's first disaster-zone farm animal shelter, creating the country's first Animal Law course, and building a broader vision of interspecies justice that moves beyond cats and dogs to include all beings. This is a powerful conversation about resilience, responsibility, and reimagining justice for a more compassionate future.Please subscribe to get notified about our next podcast!Follow us on X: @TheAnthrozoopodFollow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/anthrozoopod/ Follow us on TikTok @anthrozoology_To access audio versions please our official Website: https://anthrozoopod.wixsite.com/anthrozoopod Podlet GuestName: Altamush Saeed LLMemail: earcpak@gmail.comchaltamushsaeed@gmail.comaltamush@charitydoings.orgPodCrew Dr. Kris Hill PhD Candidate, University of Exetertinehill@gmail.com https://katzenlife.wordpress.com/ Dr. Michelle Szydlowskimichelle@szyd.mewww.internationalelephants.org@intl_elephants Sarah Oxley Heaney PhD Candidate, University of Exeterkissingsharks@gmail.comwww.kissingsharks.com/

[DONATE] This episode of The Collective US podcast from Northwest Michigan Community Action Agency focuses on the devastating March 2025 ice storms in Northern Michigan and the community's response. Hosts Erica Austin and Ryan Buck speak with Emmet County Emergency Management Coordinator Matt Blythe, Emmet County Recycling's Lindsay Walker, and NMCAA Housing & Energy Efficiency Services Director Tish Stave.The guests describe how advance warnings from the National Weather Service prompted limited pre-storm coordination with partners like the Red Cross, Salvation Army, and the Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians. The first wave seemed typical, but a second wave brought heavy ice, high winds, massive tree loss (millions in Emmet County), widespread power outages, and dangerous road conditions. Nearly 88% of roads closed, critical facilities like hospitals and jails lost generator power, and fuel shortages forced emergency vehicles to refuel far from the county.Response efforts included opening 11 shelters (including the casino), conducting wellness checks, clearing roads for medical transport, and coordinating food and water distribution. Volunteer amateur radio operators provided field reports when other communications failed. Walker's role focused on debris management, securing contractors to process wood waste for biomass energy, and exploring better food waste recovery methods. Stave described flexible local grant funds that helped residents with uninsured or underinsured losses, from roof and window repairs to replacing a broken well pump or car windshield.Long-term recovery needs include homeowner debris removal support, better generator access for critical facilities, stronger communication systems, and planning for food preservation during extended outages. Guests emphasized Northern Michigan's resilience, neighbor-to-neighbor help, and the value of partnerships between local government, nonprofits, faith groups, businesses, and volunteers. They also urged residents to prepare with basic supplies, communication plans, and a willingness to seek available help.Months later, debris cleanup continues, biomass facilities have reached capacity, and grant programs remain open for affected households. The episode closes on the importance of improving preparedness, strengthening recovery systems, and mobilizing community volunteers to restore parks, trails, and natural areas.
Small towns don't just recover slower after disaster—they're often forgotten altogether. In this episode, Leigh Brown exposes the deep inequalities she's witnessed firsthand in Western North Carolina's long road to recovery. From government red tape to rising property taxes, this is a raw look at what happens when working-class communities are pushed to the margins. Key takeaways to listen for Why disaster relief often favors urban areas over rural ones The hidden financial toll of rebuilding for low-income, generational homeowners How property tax hikes after disaster can force people off their land The overlooked role of elitism in disaster planning and recovery Why preserving small-town economies and culture is essential to America's future Resources mentioned in this episode American Red Cross Samaritan's Purse Are you ready to make a difference?

This episode dives deep into the journey of a seasoned veteran who transitions from high-stakes military operations to confronting personal struggles. Despite the challenges, he finds new purpose and meaning by leveraging his military skills to aid in disaster relief and impact the lives of others. Through candid discussions, discover the power of identity, mission, and community in reclaiming one's life after service. Join us for an inspiring conversation about overcoming adversity, understanding self-worth, and the ongoing battle to make a positive impact in the world. Adam Smith, a former Green Beret with 17 years of service, is outspoken in leadership, disaster relief, and operational consulting. As the founder of Savage Freedoms, he has built a movement that empowers individuals and businesses to operate at the highest levels of resilience, preparedness, and efficiency. When Hurricane Helene devastated Western North Carolina, Smith didn't wait for bureaucratic red tape—he mobilized a massive number of Special Operations Veterans and civilian volunteers which resulted in the formation of Savage Freedoms Relief Operations. Their effort executed over 2,500 air sorties and countless ground missions to deliver life-saving supplies where FEMA and State Authorities dropped the ball. Since Helene SFRO has deployed to VA, WV, KY, CA, and Texas to provide support and assistance to those who have lost everything. His expertise in logistics, crisis response, and leadership under pressure has made him a sought-after speaker and consultant, helping organizations and communities build the mindset and infrastructure to thrive in chaos. __________ Please leave us a review on Apple/Spotify Podcasts: Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mentors-for-military-podcast/id1072421783 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3w4RiZBxBS8EDy6cuOlbUl #mentors4mil #mentorsformilitary Mentors4mil Links: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/Mentors4mil Patreon Support: https://www.patreon.com/join/Mentors4mil Intro music "Long Way Down" by Silence & Light is used with permission.

Welcome to EO Radio Show – Your Nonprofit Legal Resource. I'm Cynthia Rowland, and EO Radio Show episode 129 is a refresh of episode 10, first published on August 8th, 2022. It provides a checklist of considerations when organizing a new charity to provide relief in the aftermath of a disaster. The recent flood events in Texas and New Mexico remind us of the need to support those affected by overwhelming disasters. We know that once the headlines fade and the cleanup begins, the immense work of recovery gets underway, and that recovery effort requires financial support. Long-term recovery efforts, long-term fundraising, and a long-term commitment to the victims are sometimes best provided by a new organization formed just for that purpose. The focus of this episode is on the steps the new charitable organization must take to provide effective long-term disaster relief.
