Podcasts about emergency preparedness

Arlan Fuller, Project HOPE's director of Emergency Preparedness and Response, talks about the aftermath of Hurricane Melissa in Jamaica and other countries, as listeners report what they're hearing from friends and family in the area.

Florida is the state most often hit by hurricanes, and with roughly 700 nursing homes, year-round emergency planning and preparedness training are imperatives. Building on a dramatic weather year in 2024 — three major storms made landfall, including two in the same area, back-to-back — the Florida Health Care Association this month published a new resource for its members and long-term care providers much further afield. The Emergency Preparedness in Long Term Care report acknowledges that three major hurricanes and resulting evacuations put providers' emergency planning responsibilities “to the test.” But time-sensitive decisions using predetermined procedures and solid communication plans developed months before those emergencies were critical, said co-author Kristen Knapp, FHCA's senior director of strategy and communications. “All emergencies are local, so those relationships with your local emergency managers, your local utility providers, those are so critical during blue sky experiences, when there's not a storm threatening,” she tells McKnight's in this podcast episode, recorded at the American Health Care Association's annual convention in Las Vegas. Storms aren't the only thing the report examines and offers tips on. It addresses proactive preparation, training implementation and important considerations such as transfer trauma that providers in any state can use to enhance their own emergency planning efforts — for a range of natural and manmade events. “One of the things that happened this past year is a significant power outage. … You need to be prepared for that. You know, we have tornadoes, we have wildfires in Florida. There's cybersecurity threats,” she says. “Making sure that you are training your staff, that your comprehensive emergency preparedness plan that your facility has is inclusive of other emergencies besides a hurricane is really critical.” Listen in for more tips on preparing, a day-by-day strategy to get ready for a predicted weather threat, and more insights on helping residents and staff weather any kind of storm, both physically and emotionally.

Our guest today is Chad Sonnier, Director of the Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness (OHSEP) for Lafayette Parish. With over four decades of service in fire protection and emergency response, Chad Sonnier brings unmatched experience to the role of coordinating disaster preparedness, response, and recovery efforts across federal, state, and local agencies, nonprofits, and the private sector. "I was 18 years old, hired to be in the fire service and helping people in their time of need. It is something I've really become accustomed to, and I couldn't imagine doing anything else. I mean, people call 911 at their worst time of day or worst time in their life, and, we're there to help them, that's what we're there for." Chad served as City of Scott's Fire Chief before being named to his current post. He had served with the Lafayette Fire Department for years before his appointment with the City of Scott. Over the course of his career, Chad has worked as a hazmat technician, fire engineer, fire coordinator, and hazmat chief. In 2020, he was inducted into the Louisiana Fire Chiefs Hall of Fame—a testament to his lifelong passion for public safety. “Helping people is my passion. I couldn't imagine doing anything else,” Chad Sonnier shares. A Newly Formed Office The department was officially created in 2024 by Lafayette Mayor-President Monique Boulet, who recognized the growing federal and state mandates in emergency management and the need to keep her community safe. It now operates independently of 911 services, with a broader scope that includes emergency responses to events such as hurricanes, mass gatherings like Mardi Gras, hazardous material accidents, and unexpected “no-notice” events such as train derailments. This year in 2025, for the first time, Lafayette's Emergency Operations Center partially activated its services during Mardi Gras. Agencies including fire, police, Acadian Ambulance, local hospitals, and even federal partners like the FBI and ATF, worked side by side to ensure public safety. “When you're face to face in the same room, communications are so much better,” Chad explains. Beyond Hurricanes: Preparedness in Action While hurricanes are top of mind for many residents, Chad addressed the wide range of emergencies his office addresses to help those most in need: Warming and cooling centers – Established for residents without reliable heating or air conditioning, with help from partners such as Catholic Charities, Red Cross, and even private companies like Stines, which donated large cooling fans. Volunteer organizations – Hundreds of volunteers with local nonprofits and faith-based groups (VOADs) play an essential role in long-term recovery. These groups often provide building supplies, roof repairs, and mold remediation for families still suffering from past storms. College partnerships – Student-athletes contribute required service hours by assisting disaster victims, creating meaningful community connections. Chad reflects, “I was taken aback by how many people are willing to help, especially in Lafayette Parish. If it wasn't for these nonprofits, I don't know where a lot of people would be today.” Planning Ahead and Responding Fast Chad contrasts his years as a firefighter—where speed and immediate action are critical—with the long-term strategic planning required in his current role. Chad Sonnier served as Fire Chief of the City of Scott for 23 years His office scripts hurricane responses a week in advance of landfall, but also prepares in advance for sudden emergencies that occur without warning. “No-notice events” like hazardous material spills require rapid mobilization of shelters, water, food, and safe housing, often within an hour to ninety minutes. Recreation centers, the Cajundome, and other facilities are pre-designated as shelters or reunification centers,

In a compelling virtual roundtable hosted by Steve Gurney on the Positive Aging Community platform, three seasoned Aging Life Care Managers (ALCMs) shared their expertise and personal journeys on September 10, 2025. Featuring Samantha McDaniel of Aging Individualized (Maryland), Leslie Mason of Seabury Care Management (DC metro area), and Annette Murphy of Spring Point at Home (New Jersey), the discussion offered a deep dive into the holistic role of ALCMs, addressing real-world challenges like dementia care, emergency preparedness, and family dynamics. Spanning 14 pages of transcribed insights, this session provided actionable strategies for families and professionals alike.The panelists' diverse backgrounds underscored the adaptability of ALCMs. Samantha McDaniel, a solo practitioner with over 10 years in senior living, founded Aging Individualized to deliver personalized care across Maryland and virtually. Her shift from community roles to home-based support was driven by a desire to "impact change" directly where clients live. Leslie Mason, a clinical manager at Seabury since 2004, transitioned from teaching and pediatric social work after a chance hospital encounter with a care manager, now serving older and disabled adults in the DC region. Annette Murphy, leading Spring Point's home division, brought a geriatrics-focused career from therapy and social work, joining the field after mentorship from a national ALCM, seeking freedom to follow clients' needs.Annette Murphy clarified the ALCM role, noting that the term “Aging Life Care” is trademarked by the Aging Life Care Association (ALCA), requiring vetted members to adhere to a strict code of ethics. With backgrounds in social work, nursing, gerontology, or recreation therapy, ALCMs assess the “whole person”—physical, emotional, social, and environmental needs—crafting tailored care plans. Gurney likened them to “wedding planners,” “quarterbacks,” or “wing people” for aging, emphasizing their role in resource navigation and mediation. Leslie Mason added that ALCMs are “big thinkers” who dive into details to enhance quality of life, while the ALCA's eight knowledge areas (e.g., health, housing, legal) guide their practice. Families can find local ALCMs via the ALCA website by zip code.Dementia Care and Initiating Change (Samantha McDaniel): McDaniel noted a rise in calls from families struggling to start conversations with loved ones with dementia. In one case, a woman with mid-stage dementia, isolated and calling ambulances frequently, shifted to assisted living after McDaniel's questions about quality of life—“What do you wake up for?”—led to a self-initiated respite stay where she thrived. She emphasized ALCMs as mediators, helping families navigate resistance objectively.Young Onset Dementia and Dual Needs (Leslie Mason): Mason highlighted the growing challenge of young onset dementia (e.g., Alzheimer's under 65), where resources for older or middle-aged adults fall short. Seabury's information line addresses this “heartbreaking” gap, while she also supports parents of adult children with disabilities facing physical limits, requiring dual-age management.Emergency Preparedness as a Gift (Annette Murphy): Murphy introduced a crisis planning kit, mandated for Spring Point clients, covering evacuation plans, water shutoffs, and “go bags” with emergency contacts. Inspired by her FEMA experience, she framed it as a “roadmap” for solo elders and out-of-state families, addressing power outages and snowstorms. This initiative, expandable to all ALCMs, offers peace of mind.Handling Complex Family Dynamics (Tina's Case): Tina's question about a verbally threatening mother, despite a social worker's involvement, led to suggestions: home-visiting physicians for documentation, psychiatric crisis intervention if needed, and building a professional network. The panel urged assessing competence and risk, offering post-call consultations.

⬥GUEST⬥Tobias Halmans, OT Incident Responder | GIAC Certified Incident Handler | Automation Security Consultant at admeritia GmbH | On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tobias-halmans/⬥HOST⬥Host: Sean Martin, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine and Host of Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast | On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/imsmartin/ | Website: https://www.seanmartin.com⬥EPISODE NOTES⬥Business continuity planning is a familiar exercise for most IT and security leaders—but when you move into operational technology (OT), the rules change. In this episode of Redefining CyberSecurity, Sean Martin talks with Tobias Halmans, an incident responder at admeritia, who helps organizations prepare for and respond to incidents in OT environments. Tobias shares why disaster recovery planning in OT requires more than simply adapting IT frameworks. It demands a change in approach, mindset, and communication.OT engineers don't think in terms of “ransomware readiness.” They think in terms of safety, uptime, manual fallback options, and how long a plant can stay operational without a SCADA system. As Tobias explains, while IT teams worry about backup integrity and rapid rebooting, OT teams are focused on whether shutting down a system—even safely—is even an option. And when the recovery plan depends on third-party vendors, the assumptions made on both sides can derail the response before it begins.Tobias walks us through the nuances of defining success in OT recovery. Unlike the IT world's metrics like mean time to recover (MTTR), OT environments often hinge on production impacts and safety thresholds. Recovery Time Objectives (RTOs) still exist—but they must be anchored in real-world plant operations, often shaped by vendor limitations, legacy constraints, and tightly regulated safety requirements.Perhaps most importantly, Tobias stresses that business continuity planning for OT can't just be a cybersecurity add-on. It must be part of broader risk and operational conversations, ideally happening when systems are being designed or upgraded. But in reality, many organizations are only starting these conversations now—often driven more by compliance mandates than proactive risk strategy.Whether you're a CISO trying to bridge the gap with your OT counterparts or an engineer wondering why cyber teams keep showing up with playbooks that don't fit, this conversation offers grounded, real-world insight into what preparedness really means for critical operations.⬥SPONSORS⬥LevelBlue: https://itspm.ag/attcybersecurity-3jdk3ThreatLocker: https://itspm.ag/threatlocker-r974⬥RESOURCES⬥Inspiring Article: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/sarah-fluchs_notfallvorsorge-in-der-ot-traut-euch-activity-7308744270453092352-Q8X1⬥ADDITIONAL INFORMATION⬥✨ More Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast:

For nearly a decade, state and local officials disacussed how to avoid fatalities, injuries, and property damage in the Guadalupe River valley in Texas. They failed to secure funds for a public warning siren. The flood killed more than 120 people and at least 160 are missing. Earlier this year, after numerous warnings by inspectors, a levee in Oregon gave way, damaging more than 950 homes, including those of the Burns Paiute Tribe. And on the Navajo Nation, notification was key to helping hundreds of residents evacuate as the Oak Ridge fire consumed more than 11,000 acres. We'll hear about those and emergency plans by some other tribes aimed at keeping threats from becoming human tragedies. GUESTS Donovan Quintero (Diné), freelance reporter with the Navajo Times Nelson Andrews Jr. (Mashpee Wampanoag), former tribal councilman, owner of Red Turtle Consulting LLC and CEO of American Indian Relief Bodie Shaw (Confederated Tribes of the Warm Springs), former deputy regional director for the Northwest Region of the Bureau of Indian Affairs and former national wildland fire director for BIA Suzanne Settle, emergency services and resiliency director for the Burns Paiute

In this episode of the SMFM Podcast, Dr. Rupesh Patel welcomes Dr. Kay Daniels and Dr. Carey Eppes for an important conversation on emergency preparedness in the setting of obstetric (OB) care. Together, they break down the four key principles of emergency preparedness—mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery—and explore how these apply to both OB clinicians and their patients.  Using real-world examples like wildfires, poor air quality, tropical storms, flooding, tornadoes, extreme heat, and mass casualty events, the discussion provides a comprehensive overview of what OB clinicians need to know in the face of natural disasters. Drs. Daniels and Eppes explain how hospitals are structured to respond to emergencies, what resources are typically available, how OB and maternity care units manage care during emergencies and most importantly, the role OB providers play during these critical situations.  The episode also offers actionable guidance for helping pregnant and postpartum patients prepare for emergencies. From what to include in an emergency kit to how clinicians can effectively communicate and stay connected with patients during and after a disaster, this episode is a must-listen for providers committed to delivering safe care—even in the most unpredictable circumstances.    Click here for the full episode transcript.

As Tony—along with the rest of our nation—mourns the loss of life resulting from the Medina River floods in Kerr County, Texas, he also takes a moment to reflect on emergency preparedness and the all-too-human tendency to become complacent when vigilance is required. As a rancher living in the area, Tony shares local history, insights, and information about the current tragedy, but also examples of people who had evacuation plans formed as well as practiced, trusted their judgment on when to leave, and saved the lives of their families/groups with their preparation and foresight.

As a board-certified anesthesiologist with decades of experience, Dr. Marn reveals the critical safety gaps in dental practices and how his journey from academic medicine to founding Blue Pacific Medical Simulation led him to address this overlooked public health issue.Dr. Marn introduces us to the fascinating "beehive versus lung" concept – explaining how hospital teams function collaboratively like beehives during emergencies, while dental practices often rely on the dentist alone (the "lung") to handle everything. This fundamental difference in approach creates dangerous vulnerabilities when seconds matter most.The heart of the episode explores Dr. Marn's innovative Four Pillars of Sedation Emergency Readiness: Infrastructure, Competency, Culture, and Habit. Beyond just having the right equipment or knowing CPR, these pillars address psychological safety, team dynamics, and creating systems where everyone knows their role in a crisis. Through compelling examples and practical insights, Dr. Marn demonstrates how dental practices can move from simply checking regulatory boxes to building genuinely effective emergency response capabilities.Perhaps most valuable are the actionable steps dental teams can implement immediately – from five-minute huddles that create psychological safety to using Dr. Marn's free online assessment tool (emergencyscorapp.com) to identify specific practice vulnerabilities. His approach acknowledges the realities of busy dental practices while providing a clear framework for meaningful safety improvements.Whether you're a dental professional looking to enhance your practice's safety protocols or simply someone curious about what happens when things go wrong in healthcare settings, this episode offers profound insights into saving lives when every second counts.
