The thing about a preparedness mindset is that you are thinking into the future and so if one of those scenarios happens, you've already mentally prepared in some sort of way for it, so you're not dealing with the shock. That's a place as an artist that I feel has a lot of potential for engagement and for communication and bringing audiences along. When you're talking about realities, accepting that reality, has the potential to push us to do other things. Welcome to another ENCORE episode of conscient podcast. I do this because if you missed an episode the first time it was published you can hear it again. However this is the last ENCORE episode for a while because I'm taking break from the production of this podcast, of its sister French language version, balado conscient as well as my a calm presence Substack for what looks like undetermined period of time. I wrote about this in my last Substack posting called pressing pause. My plan is to meditate on my next steps in this ongoing learning and unlearning journey and do a bit of self-care as I learned to do during the Zen and the Art of Saving the Planet course last fall.But before pressing pause, so to speak, I wanted to publish this ENCORE episode because it's about an issue that we will be talking about increasingly in the months and years to come: which is, how do we, as artists and cultural workers, respond more effectively to emergency situations and to ongoing societal disruption. And who better that Jen Rae, a Melbourne, Australia based artist, researcher, facilitator and educator of Canadian Red River Métis and Scottish descent.And before going any further I want to acknowledge that Jen Rae lives, creates and works on the unceded traditional lands of the Wurundjeri, Boon Wurrung, Woi Wurrung, and Wathaurong people of the Kulin Nation and offers deep respect to their elders - past, present and emerging. So, this 47-minute conversation was recorded, remotely, on May 10, 2021. Jen and I talked about a wide range of issues including the intersection between art, emergency preparedness, disaster risk-reduction and resilience. Here are some of the questions that were raised: How do we embrace an emergency preparedness mindset? What do we increase our focus on community resilience?How can we challenge Western-centric narratives? How can we further value inclusivity? How can art and speculative fiction in particular, help free our minds and inspire action?You'll find some answers, also more questions, at the The Centre for Reworlding in Australia, where Jen is the creative research lead. I'm also publishing this ENCORE episode to listen back to conversations recorded during the COVID pandemic. For artists, in particular, it was a tough time. For a few of us it created opportunities for new forms of digital engagement but for most artists it was a nightmare of lost income, isolation and disconnection. COVID, difficult as it was, can be thought of as a kind of test run for larger scale emergencies that will come as the climate crisis and related disasters unfold. So I'm grateful that artists like Jen Rae and The Centre for Reworlding are proactively are working, and this is a quote from their web site, to ‘advocate for the mainstream integration of culture & the arts in climate action and disaster management discourses, policy frameworks and all-years education'.So let's go back to 2021. And, as I did with all of my episodes at that time, you'll hear excerpts from previous episodes that try to connect the thinking of my guests with some previous guests and that's a lot of fun. It was a lot or work but then I had a lot of time on my hands. So without further ado, episode 41 ENCORE. Warm thanks to Jen for this 2021 conversation and hopefully we'll talk again if and when I come back to producing this podcast. For more information on Jen's work, see https://www.jenraeis.com, http://www.fairsharefare.com/ and The Centre for Reworlding.Links to a selection of Jen's work mentioned in this episode:REFUGIUM: film premiering 27 April 2021 (online and in real life - in collaboration with Claire G.

It's my way to give back.This Indigenous Land Acknowledgement statement was developed by members of the Algonquin community for my former employer the Canada Council for the Arts. I have adapted slightly to make it my own.I acknowledge that my studio, located in Ottawa, is on the unceded, unsurrendered Territory of the Anishinaabe Algonquin Nation whose presence here reaches back to time immemorial.I recognize the Algonquins as the customary keepers and defenders of the Ottawa River Watershed and its tributaries. I honour their long history of welcoming many Nations to this beautiful territory and uphold and uplift the voice and values of our Host Nation.Further, I offer my respect and affirm the inherent and Treaty Rights of all Indigenous Peoples across this land and honour commitments to self-determination and sovereignty that have been made to Indigenous Nations and Peoples.I acknowledge the historical oppression of lands, cultures and the original Peoples in what we now know as Canada and fervently believe the Arts contribute to the healing and decolonizing journey we all share togetherIn parallel with the production of the conscient podcast and its francophone counterpart, balado conscient, I I publish a free ‘a calm presence' monthly Substack see https://acalmpresence.substack.com.Your feedback is always welcome at claude@conscient.ca and/or on social media: Facebook, Instagram, Linkedin, Threads, BlueSky, Mastodon, Tik Tok, YouTube and Substack.Share what you like, etcI am grateful and accountable to the earth and the human labour that provided me with the privilege of producing this podcast, including the toxic materials and extractive processes behind the computers, recorders, transportation systems and infrastructure that made this production possible.

Wildfires, blackouts, floods, and evacuations don't come with much warning — and for single parents, the responsibility can feel overwhelming when you're the only adult in charge. This episode is about turning fear into calm, clarity, and confidence.In this episode of Single Parent Success Stories, Jennifer Heller, founder of Here Comes the Apocalypse, shares practical, realistic emergency preparedness guidance for families — especially single-parent households. After navigating California wildfires with young children, Jennifer realized how little useful, actionable information exists for parents and set out to change that.This conversation isn't about extreme prepping or living in fear. It's about simple, doable steps that help you feel prepared and grounded — from organizing important documents and creating emergency communication plans to packing go-bags that actually make sense for real families.This episode is especially for single parents who want peace of mind, not panic — and who want to know they've done what they can to protect their kids when life becomes unpredictable.In this episode, you'll learn:• What single parents should prepare before the next emergency• How to create a simple, realistic family emergency plan• What to include (and rotate) in a go-bag• How to communicate and reconnect if phones fail• Why preparedness is a form of self-care• How community support reduces stress in a crisisThis episode is a reminder that you don't have to do everything — you just need a plan. Preparedness brings peace, and peace matters for you and your children.

Learn about emergency preparedness in youth sports, focusing on cardiac safety, the Project Adam initiative, and the status of the "Heartsafe" program with Tom Woods. Q: What is the 10-second version of focusing on cardiac emergency preparedness? A: Review statistics on sudden death in young athletes. Sudden cardiac arrest is the leading cause of death. Target the most likely areas where incidents occur and prioritize time and equipment-sensitive responses. Q: How did the Damar Hamlin incident negatively impact perceptions of youth sports safety? A: Some may falsely believe youth athletes are inherently safe because a highly prepared incident was effectively managed in the NFL. However, youth settings lack the extensive resources and numerous providers available in professional sports. This incident highlights the need to increase effective response capabilities and empower more individuals to provide care. Q: Is youth sports a bigger industry or does it bring in more money? A: When including grassroots sports, the financial investment in youth sports is substantial. It is crucial to make reasonable investments in equipment, procedures, and policies that maximize safety and efficient use of time to ensure overall safety. Q: Do club sports typically have athletic trainers (ATs) or automated external defibrillators (AEDs)? A: This is a critical point; clubs should invest more in youth safety. Efforts like Bob Marley's network aim to bring ATs to these settings. More needs to be done beyond large tournaments, extending to daily operations, especially given that larger clubs may have many teams practicing simultaneously. Q: What steps are needed for club sports to align on safety protocols? A: Project Adam and recent legislation offer programs specifically designed to make youth sports cardiac safe. These initiatives provide a framework for clubs to enhance their emergency preparedness. Q: What are the specifics of Project Adam? A: Our school became involved with Project Adam after recognizing areas needing attention in our setting. It offers a systematic approach to achieving cardiac safety. Texas Children's Hospital (TCH) is an affiliate site for Project Adam, providing numerous resources. Q: Why might Project Adam not be widely known? A: The exact reason is unclear. However, presentations like this provide an opportunity to spread the message. Discussions with directors at TCH and Cook Children's indicate that some areas, like Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW), are more involved. We need to disseminate this information, especially with increased requirements for cardiac responsiveness. Q: How do schools or districts achieve "Heartsafe" program status? A: Achieving "Heartsafe" status involves a step-by-step process through Project Adam. Organizations register, complete a checklist, and consult with directors and affiliate contacts for questions. Upon completion, they receive "Heartsafe school/program/district" designation. Q: Is the "Heartsafe" program similar to SafeSport and currently in process? A: Yes, it is similar to SafeSport and is an ongoing process. Q: What legislative action is impacting emergency preparedness? A: House bills have been passed and are expected to take effect on September 1st, following the governor's signature. This legislation aims to enhance cardiac responsiveness.

In this NBN episode, host Hollay Ghadery interviews poet Lorne Daniel about his poetry collection, What is Broken Binds Us (University of Calgary Press, 2025).  What is Broken Binds Us is a collection of poems of the disruptions and emotional tremors that shape us: enslaved families broken and dispersed, histories hidden, addiction and estrangement, and the shocks of bodily trauma. What is Broken Binds Us shares stories of loss, absence, acceptance, and hope. Returning to the page after a long absence, poet Lorne Daniel provides a unique perspective on crisis that balances raw emotion with vulnerability, thoughtfulness, and care. In seven sections, Daniel braids the stories of empire, personal traumas, addiction and family estrangement, shifting emergencies, and the wisdom of elders and the natural world. Lessons in Emergency Preparedness traces accident, injury and recovery, facing the trauma of a sudden loss of physical competence through the metaphorical and literal breaks of a shattered body and the slow movement towards mending. When the Tributaries Ran Rich unravels empire and a five-century narrative of hard-working immigrants with the discovery of enslavement in family records, forcing a deep reconsideration of the truth of the past. Episodic Tremor & Slip speaks of the tectonic shifts in family life that occur when facing substance abuse, addiction, and mental health struggles, of the pain of estrangement and the love that continues. In the Family Name is a reflection on time, on people, and on the natural world that revisits and turns over all that came before, exploring it from new angles. Lorne Daniel writes with calm, conversational assurance. These poems are accessible and evocative, speaking from their specificity to the many people who have faced injury, estrangement, struggle, and pain, and must carry it—and carry on. About Lorne Daniel: Lorne Daniel is a Canadian poet and non-fiction writer. He has been deeply engaged in the literary community, including the emergence of a Canadian prairie poetry scene in the 1970s. He has publsihed four books of poetry, edited anthologies and literary journals, and written freelance journalism.
