In this second episode of their comprehensive healthcare planning series, Absolute Trust Talk hosts Kirsten Howe and Ariana Flynn tackle the critical medical orders that work alongside your legal documents: DNR (Do Not Resuscitate) orders and POLST (Physician Orders for Life Sustaining Treatment) forms. Unlike the legal documents discussed in Part 1, these are doctors' orders that emergency responders must follow—but only if they can see them. The attorneys reveal the shocking legal reality that paramedics are required to perform CPR on anyone they find unconscious unless they have a valid DNR order in hand. They explain why POLST forms are printed on hot pink paper (it's a genius design for emergency visibility), where to keep these life-saving documents so they're accessible when seconds count, and why you need both medical orders AND legal documents working together. This episode could save your life by ensuring your emergency medical wishes are honored when you can't speak for yourself.   Time-stamped Show Notes: 0:00 Introduction 1:15 DNR (Do Not Resuscitate) explained - emergency medical protective orders for EMS 2:33 Who can sign DNR orders, and how they become part of your medical record 3:25 The paramedic dilemma - why emergency responders MUST perform CPR unless they see a DNR 4:28 The "lying on the sidewalk" scenario that reveals the shocking legal requirement 5:00 Why your DNR needs to be accessible - it's not tattooed on your forehead 5:45 Where to get DNR forms and the California Medical Association resource 5:58 POLST forms explained - going beyond DNR with comprehensive medical orders 8:21 Real-world POLST placement in assisted living and skilled nursing facilities 8:54 Why these are doctors' orders, not legal documents, attorneys can prepare 9:15 The essential combination - why you need DNR, POLST, AND healthcare directives working together

When there's a plane crash, a bomb blast, a flood or a pandemic, Lucy Easthope's phone starts ringing. This is how she stays cheerful and trusts her gut in the face of never-ending disasters. (R)When Lucy was 10 years old, she was at home with her dad watching a Liverpool Football Club match when all hell broke loose.The Hillsborough Disaster, as it came to be known, was a fatal crowd crush that killed almost 100 people and as Lucy and her dad watched it all unfold on the television, she remembers him shouting, "Someone needs to sort this!"That formative experience inspired Lucy to go on to become what's called an 'emergency planner' or 'disaster specialist'.When a plane crashes, a bomb explodes, a city floods or a virus spreads across the planet, Lucy's phone begins to ring and she springs into action.Lucy's speciality is the care and return of personal items to grieving families, through which she's learned that a cup of tea and truthfulness are as important as DNA testing.Further informationWhen the Dust Settles is published by Hodder & Stoughton.Find out more about the Conversations Live National Tour on the ABC website.This episode of Conversations was produced by Meggie Morris, executive producer was Carmel Rooney.It explores natural disasters, floods, famine, starvation, plane crashes, train crashes, mass death, tsunami, Bali, Japan, tube bombing, stadium crush, mass panic, disaster relief, survival, mental health, coping mechanisms, high cortisol, adrenaline, Grenfell, pandemic, terrorism, terror attack, Lismore, tornado, covid, ebola.

Warren Buffett said it best: “Risk comes from not knowing what you're doing.” On today's episode, How to Combine Project Risk Tools with Emergency Planning, we're focusing on how project managers and public safety leaders can speak the same language when it comes to risk. The Federal Emergency Management Agency, or FEMA, created the Threat and Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment—also known as THIRA—to help communities anticipate and plan for the unknown. In the same way, project risk registers help uncover obstacles before they become blockers. Today, we'll connect the dots between THIRA, stakeholder maps, and integrated risk matrices—so your team can prepare, prioritize, and progress, no matter the scenario.

On this podcast I discuss how the recent wildfires overhauled my thinking about emergency planning and give you the three strategies I've now incorporated into my plan.

Brain science has shown that "fun" can help habits stick faster. This is the thought process behind the "gamification" of habit trackers.

What would you take if you had to evacuate your home?  Are you prepared? A study by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) found less than half of American households had discussed or developed an emergency plan. After hearing the stories of many families I know having to evacuate with little to no warning, I decided it was time to finally get serious and actually make a plan for our family. And today, we're turning that question into action as we walk through, step by step, the 3P's approach to family emergency preparedness: Plan, Pack and Practice. No fancy gear, no doomsday prepping—just practical, affordable steps that any family can take. Get our Quick Guide to Creating Your Family Emergency Plan here. EPISODE SHOWNOTES: Read more.

Welcome to RIMScast. Your host is Justin Smulison, Business Content Manager at RIMS, the Risk and Insurance Management Society.   The RIMS ERM Conference 2024 in Boston featured a stellar lineup of risk thought leaders who shared their experiences applying ERM practices to align risk management with strategy and showcase the value of more risk-aware corporate cultures. At the Conference, Justin spoke with two leading ERM practitioners in different primary areas to provide a range of perspectives. In this episode of RIMScast, Justin interviews Christopher Stitt about his session, which he based on the RIMS ERM Framework and the RIMS Risk Maturity Model. Justin interviews Catrina Gilbert about her position at the DFW Airport and her career in risk management and ERM, as well as current airport initiatives. Listen in for a sample of the offerings of the RIMS ERM Conference 2024 with its record-breaking full-capacity attendance.   Key Takeaways: [:01] About RIMS. [:14] Member registration for RISKWORLD 2025 is now open! General registration opens on December 4th. Visit RIMS.org/RISKWORLD. [:25] About this episode. Recorded live in Boston at the RIMS ERM Conference 2024, we have interviews with two fantastic guests! [:49] The next RIMS-CRMP Exam Prep Virtual Workshop will be held on December 17th and 18th. The next RIMS-CRMP-FED Exam Course will be hosted along with George Mason University from December 3rd through the 5th. [1:07] Links to these courses can be found on the Certification page of RIMS.org and through this episode's show notes. [1:15] RIMS Virtual Workshops! Elise Farnham of Illumine Consulting recently joined us here on RIMScast. On December 4th and 5th, she will host “Applying and Integrating ERM”. On December 17th and 18th, she will host “Captives as an Alternate Risk Financing Technique”. [1:35] Those are just two of the workshops RIMS offers; we have lots more! Other dates for the Fall and Winter are available on the Virtual Workshops calendar, RIMS.org/virtualworkshops. [1:51] First Interview! Our first guest was a featured speaker on Day 2 of the RIMS ERM Conference 2024. His name is Christopher Stitt and he is the Founder and CEO of CrisisLead, LLC. [2:01] Chris's session was titled “The Art and Science of High-performing Enterprise Risk Management: Bridging Silos for Sustainable Success.” We'll speak about that session and give a high-level overview for those who could not attend. [2:18] Chris has a fascinating background that led him to risk management and ERM. His career journey is an inspiration. We recorded live on-site at the Boston Hilton Plaza. Christopher Stitt, welcome to RIMScast! [2:51] This is Chris's first ERM Conference. He's enjoying it and likes getting a broader perspective of how the overall ERM community operates. It's been a fantastic opportunity to network with some amazing professionals and learn from them! [3:20] Chris talks about the session he is giving, “The Art and Science of High-performing Enterprise Risk Management: Bridging Silos for Sustainable Success.” It comes down to people. What sometimes gets missed in the ERM process is the human factor. [3:51] It's about getting the buy-in necessary and the understanding of what risk is, not just from the senior level but across the board. A new concept, the Risk Intelligence Quotient, can help your organization understand how to look at, feel about, and interact with risk. [4:26] The Risk Intelligence Quotient, along with the human-centric aspects of the risk program, can help you build a good risk culture and ultimately, a high-performing organization that can thrive during both business-as-usual and disruption. [5:03] Chris used the RIMS ERM Framework and the RIMS Risk Maturity Model as the foundation of his session. As he studied the RIMS Risk Maturity Model, he saw it was about the journey, from starting a risk program in a new business to developing a mature program. [5:37] As a business grows and a company matures, you need to be able to go through the process and say, “We need to start documenting how this works. We need to start ingraining this into our business process.” [6:01] The RIMS Risk Maturity Model gives a great overview of how to ingrain risk management into your business process, especially in a business developing as a hierarchical organization. [6:41] Chris was a U.S. Department of State Diplomatic Security Service Special Agent for over 25 years managing integrated security risks in embassies around the world. He looked at how international risks would influence U.S. operations in a given country. [7:17] Chris was also Chief of Emergency Planning for the Department of State twice. That gave him a wide view of how risks develop and how to develop response plans to those risks. [7:40] About 2014, The Department of State set up an ERM program. Chris was at the initial meeting. Senior officials were using terms he knew but with different meanings. That led Chris to investigate further into the meaning of enterprise risk and how to integrate it. [8:24] What Chris loves is helping other people understand and build ERM programs. That's why now, since retiring from the Department of State, Chris has moved into consulting. He sees it as a great opportunity to bridge the silos for a better understanding of what we're trying to achieve. [8:51] Chris is excited about presenting his session where he talks not only about the risks but also how you find the opportunities in those risks. It's about building a powerful ERM program that gets buy-in from stakeholders and imbuing ERM into your organization's culture. [9:29] Chris, it's been a pleasure. Thank you for joining us here on RIMScast. [9:43] Plug Time! RIMS Webinars! On November 25th, Resolver returns to discuss “The Future of Risk & Compliance: 5 Key Insights for the Modern Leader”. [9:54] On December 5th, we have “Predictive Strategies to Detect Electrical and Machinery Failures”, presented by Global Risk Consultants, a TÜV SÜD company. [10:06] On Thursday, December 12th, OneTrust returns to deliver “Staying Vigilant: 7 Practical Tips for Ongoing Third-Party Risk Monitoring”. [10:16] More webinars will be announced soon and added to the RIMS.org/webinars page. Go there to register. Registration is complimentary for RIMS members.

Bland Memorial Award, the Chapter of the Year Award, the Rising Risk Professional Award, the Risk Management Hall of Fame, and the Cristy Award. [11:26] You can find more information about the awards through the About Us page of RIMS.org or the link in this interview's show notes. [11:35] Final Interview! Catrina Gilbert is a previous ERM Conference speaker. Catrina is well known in ERM in Texas and the DFW RIMS Chapter. We will talk about how ERM influences aviation and some of the risk awareness campaigns she champions at the DFW Airport. [11:56] Catrina Gilbert, welcome to RIMScast! Catrina is the Vice President of Risk Management at the DFW Airport and the Treasurer of the RIMS DFW Chapter. Justin and Catrina have known each other for a few years. [12:30] Catrina is absolutely loving the RIMS ERM Conference 2024. Boston is beautiful this time of year. The speakers, the lineup, the vendors, and the food have been amazing! Every session has been standing-room-only! The Conference is at maximum capacity. [12:54] It adds to the excitement. It is beautiful to see all these great minds from different industries, states, and countries converging on Boston! Catrina had “chowda” for the first time! [13:37] Catrina states that there is never a dull moment in aviation. Airports are growing and rebounding from the pandemic, doing all sorts of construction projects. DFW has a $9B Capital Improvement Plan. From an insurance and claims perspective, that keeps Catrina very busy. [14:02] The DFW Airport has a rolling owner-controlled insurance program, which keeps Catrina super busy. Catrina is also responsible for the airport's ERM program. That's why Catrina is at the RIMS ERM Conference 2024. [14:16] Having the ERM program and being rooted in the organization at the ground level and the executive level, Catrina makes sure that everyone on the airport's Risk Council understands that ERM can also stand for “Everyone's a Risk Manager.”. [14:37] Catrina is trying to empower the team to think strategically and holistically, and to think about how different programs and platforms have interdependencies. If we have an issue here, how is it going to impact, perhaps, the runway or the concessions? [14:57] Catrina is looking at a resiliency framework; how do we bounce back? A lot of organizations are still struggling from the pandemic. Everyone is focused on a resiliency framework. When this happens again, are we ready? That's the beauty of this conference. [15:33] Catrina says every holiday is the best time of the year at an airport! There's no such thing as the worst time of the year. The beauty of an airport is that it connects people around the globe. The holidays are a special time for everyone. Airports love playing a part in that journey. [16:14] Catrina has been at DFW for almost eight years. She has been in risk management since 1999. She has done risk in several industries. Aviation is, by far, her favorite. There is never a dull moment; two days are never the same. DFW Airport is a city, with all the departments. [17:22] Trisha Sqrow and Sandra Fontenot, past RIMScast guests, were DFW colleagues of Catrina's. Trisha is doing great work at the Conference. Sandra Fontenot is doing great work at the RIMS DFW Chapter and helped Catrina with the annual chapter conference. [17:37] Catrina says we grow when we move, but RIMS and risk management keep people together. Catrina thinks the work that they did together at DFW Airport is one of the reasons they're still colleagues and friends. They still share ideas and speak at conferences together. [18:31] Catrina has 12 people in her risk group at the DFW Airport. At her previous airport, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta, she was a department of one. She reported to the city. She hears “department of one” a lot at the Conference, maybe two or three. Everything's bigger in Texas. [19:03] Catrina looks for fresh ideas in a new risk hire. DFW had Innovation Week last week. Seeing the great ideas coming through in the aviation industry, including AI, Catrina wants people who have an open mind, are innovative, and are willing to try some new things. [19:37] You can teach the rest of it. Catrina wants people with the soft skills, the personality, and the ability to jump in there, push up their sleeves, and try it out. [19:57] Justin recently noticed in the restrooms at DFW Airport posters on Human Trafficking Awareness. He is a big proponent of human trafficking awareness. He has led those initiatives at RIMS. He was glad to see that DFW is one of the many airports boosting awareness. [20:18] DFW is one of many airports in this fight against human trafficking. They have training, posters, and placards to educate you to say something if you see something and how to report what you see. It's better to be safe than sorry. DFW provides you with a way to report. [21:06] The Human Trafficking Awareness campaign is a team effort. It went through the Community Engagement Team, the Customer Experience Team, and the Department of Public Safety. Everyone worked hand-in-hand to be on the same beat in fighting human trafficking.  [21:32] DFW is proud to be a part of the global Sunflower Lanyard Program, designed to make hidden disabilities a little bit more visible. A passenger who has a hidden disability will receive a Sunflower Lanyard by mail before their departure date. [21:54] When the passenger with the hidden disability is in the terminals, DFW employees have been trained to recognize the Lanyard and give them a tailored experience by asking how they can assist the passenger to have a wonderful travel experience. [22:14] It's about providing for the diverse needs of a diverse population to ensure that everybody has the same experience in traveling. [22:25] What a delight to finally have Christoper Stitt and Catrina Gilbert as our special guests here on RIMScast!

Richmond and Henrico Health Districts officials are encouraging the public to observe National Preparedness Month this September by making a plan for emergencies. The National Preparedness Month theme this year is "Start a Conversation," and health officials say the best way to start a family emergency plan is to have a conversation about preparedness. Families should include everyone in the plan, even pets, and should consider what to do if an emergency happens to an elderly neighbor or someone with a disability, officials said. Discussions should take place over a short period of time but not be rushed, they said....Article LinkSupport the show

Another said that 79% of all stampedes in India occur at places of worship. Several studies have blamed the tragedies on lack of crowd control systems and poor planning. How can we make religious gatherings safer in India? Please listen to the latest episode of All Indians Matter.

This once again highlights the vulnerability of critical infrastructure to cyber threats. In this episode of ITSPmagazine, Marco Ciappelli and Sean Martin dive into this alarming incident while at the InfoSecurity Europe event in London, engaging with a panel of esteemed professionals in the field of information security.One of the significant themes that emerged from the conversation is that cybercrime is no longer the domain of rogue teenage hackers working from their basements. As Brian Honan emphasized, cybercriminals today are often part of organized crime syndicates involved in drug trafficking, arms dealing, and human trafficking. They are driven by financial gain and are willing to go to great lengths to achieve their goals.This particular incident affected NHS pathology services, causing surgeries and blood transfusions to be canceled or postponed, directly impacting patient care. Suk Paul pointed out that this kind of attack is not isolated. Since the conflict in 2022, the UK has witnessed a rise in cyber-attacks on public infrastructure, including hospitals and universities. He stated that the human intelligence element is crucial in identifying the techniques and methods used in such attacks.The conversation also shed light on the complexity of managing third-party supply chain risk. Heather Lowrie suggested considering cybersecurity as a business enabler and not just a technical issue. She stressed the need for robust communication and collaboration between internal teams, external partners, and even at the board level to create a resilient cybersecurity posture.To this end, Tim Grieveson echoed the importance of having a security leader with excellent communication skills who can align security strategies with business outcomes. This alignment is particularly essential in critical sectors like healthcare, where the focus is on maintaining patient-centric care.Furthermore, Daniel Lattimer highlighted the challenges faced by the NHS in funding cybersecurity measures. He mentioned that while the NHS has made strides in improving its cybersecurity capabilities, there is still a dilemma of prioritizing between lifesaving patient care and investing in cybersecurity. More specific guidance and a legislative approach similar to US standards could help in achieving minimum security standards.Brian Honan described the importance of legislative measures like the EU's Digital Operations Resilience Act (DORA) and the Network and Information Security Directive (NIS2), which focus on resilience in critical infrastructure. The key is not just to prevent cyber-attacks but to ensure continuity of services during and after an attack.During the discussion, a repeated point was the inevitability of cyber incidents and the need for preparation and response. Tim Grieveson stressed the necessity of identifying critical assets and vulnerabilities, communicating risks to the board, and developing a clear response plan. He pointed out that it is not just about the technical aspects but also about storytelling and helping the organization understand the real-world implications of cyber risks.The significance of cross-sector collaboration was also highlighted. Heather Lowrie noted that cyber threats are a societal challenge, not limited to individual organizations or sectors. Therefore, collective preparation and response are crucial for building resilience against cyber threats. She called for more exercises within and across sectors to prepare teams for real-world events.Lastly, the episode discussed the ethical dilemma of paying ransoms. Brian Honan strongly advocated against paying the ransom, citing the lack of guarantee that systems would be restored securely and the need to rebuild trust in affected devices. Instead, the focus should be on robust preparation and managing supply chain security. In conclusion, this episode underscored the pervasive threat of cyber-attacks on critical infrastructure and the multifaceted approach needed to tackle these challenges.From enhancing third-party risk management to legislative support, cross-sector collaboration, and ethical considerations, the conversation provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of cybersecurity in the healthcare sector. It highlights the urgent need for continuous improvement and resilience to protect not only systems but ultimately, patients' lives.Top Questions AddressedHow can the impact of the ransomware attack on the NHS best be described?How can organizations better manage third-party supply chain risk in cybersecurity?What are the ethical considerations and implications of paying ransom in cyberattacks?Be sure to follow our Coverage Journey and subscribe to our podcasts!____________________________Follow our InfoSecurity Europe 2024 coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/infosecurity-europe-2024-infosec-london-cybersecurity-event-coverageOn YouTube:

Have you ever considered what would happen to your children if you passed away? It can be daunting and hard to think about; no one wants to plan for the possibility where they aren't around to see their kids grow up. We often talk to clients who follow that old superstition that if they don't think about it, then it won't happen to them, so why plan, right? In our opinion, that isn't the best course of action. While it's rare for a child to lose both parents and be taken in by a guardian, it does happen, and it's crucial to be prepared. Fortunately, guardianship is an element you can include in your estate plan and a planning element you should take action on. In this episode of Absolute Trust Talk, we're joined by Lara Heisler, a seasoned Bay Area attorney with over 25 years of experience specializing in conservatorships and guardianships. Together, we'll cover everything from the legal responsibilities of a guardian and the process of becoming one to how to have essential conversations with your family and avoid the risk of foster care. If there's one key takeaway from this episode, it's this: The more uncomfortable family conversations you have when life is comfortable, the better prepared you'll be when life gets challenging. Let's get started! Time-stamped Show Notes: 0:00 Introduction 0:55 Please join us in welcoming Lara Heisler to the show! 3:02 Guardianship – It's a term we've all heard, but not everyone knows what it truly means. Here's what you need to know. 4:55 How can someone obtain guardianship of a child? 8:43 In this segment, we examine an extreme guardianship case and then discuss some of the more common guardianship scenarios. 11:43 When nominating family members for guardianship, it's essential to explain your reasons for doing so, so they aren't left guessing. 17:03 It may also be important to name people you don't want as your child's guardian. 19:04 When it comes to guardianship, who steps into the role first matters, especially under extreme circumstances like the court case discussed. 21:16 “What happens if…” It's a conversation none of us want to have with our family and kids, but here's why you should. 26:18 While parents of children under guardianship still have many rights, enforcing those rights can be challenging. 28:40 Have you ever wondered about the visitation rights of grandparents and other family members of a child under guardianship? Lara will answer all your questions here. 30:36 Next, we'll discuss the procedures for ensuring the child's wishes are considered in a guardianship case. 33:48 In this segment, we explore what happens if a child has no relatives in the US and what you can do to prepare for this situation. 37:41 While conservatorship does not provide long-term oversight, the courts have a rigorous process to ensure the guardian is someone the child will be safe with. 40:08 If there's one piece of advice you should take away, it's this: The more uncomfortable family conversations you have when life is comfortable, the better off you are when life gets very uncomfortable.
