A challenge in emergency response is often the gap between the rapidly evolving event and the information available to authorities. By establishing secure channels for community partners to share vital data including emergency contacts, floor plans and security camera livestreams, authorities are able to gain enhanced real-time visibility. This bridging of information enables more precise and effective interventions that prioritize the safety and well-being of the community. In this episode of the Policing Matters podcast, part of a special report from Motorola Solutions Summit 2025, host Jim Dudley sits down with Mike Armitage, the executive director of Calhoun County Consolidated Dispatch Authority and Lashinda Stair, retired assistant police chief and current industry team director with Motorola Solutions to discuss how programs that connect law enforcement and community organizations and businesses can help first responders be better informed during emergencies.

Mike & Jim discuss the tactical considerations for critical incidents involving fire as a weapon. Should we send fire fighters in with cops? Should we add one more training requirement to overtasked police? If someone is making a threat with fire can you shoot him? Should you?

In episode seven, we are pleased to feature executive director of the Workers' Action Centre, Deena Ladd. In her keynote address for the 33rd annual Labour Fair at Toronto's George Brown College, No One Left Behind: Building a Workers' First Emergency Response to the Tariff Crisis that Unites Us, Ladd discusses the current trade war, the dangers facing workers and a solidarity-driven plan that puts workers first. Reflecting on what's needed in a workers' first approach to the tariff crisis, Ladd says: “Our communities are already in trouble. And we know that the tariffs imposed are gonna have a ripple impact, far worse than the pandemic's… We desperately need a government strategy that has learned from these past economic crises to ensure that no one gets left behind. ..To make sure that when you are providing supports, that they first of all have to be adequate. That they're not institutionalizing poverty. That they're accessible … And that they're structured in a way that doesn't unintentionally punish people after the fact." About today's speaker: Deena Ladd has been working to improve wages and working conditions in sectors of work that are dominated with low-wages, violations of rights, precarious and temp work for over 30 years. She has worked to support and develop grassroots training, education and organizing to build the power of workers with groups such as the Fight for $15 and Fairness Campaign, Decent Work and Health Network, the Migrant Rights Network and Justice for Workers. Ladd is one of the founders and executive director of the Toronto Workers' Action Centre. The Workers' Action Centre organizes to improve wages and working conditions with low-waged workers, women, racialized and immigrant workers in precarious jobs that face discrimination, violations of rights and no benefits in the workplace.

To continue to provide resilient, safe and reliable power to its 1.4 million customers on the island, LUMA Energy has trained specialized lineworkers in Human External Cargo (HEC) work methods. This allows the trained lineworkers to access infrastructure in mountainous terrain, and the utility to place materials near work sites on the island. At the heart of this program is José Luis Campos Figueroa, director of operations aviation for LUMA Energy. After serving in the National Guard and spending 30 years in the industry, he now works to train and supervise his team at LUMA. Recently, the workers engaged in a training program, in partnership with Volo Mission, to practice aerial rescue techniques and learn how to respond to emergencies. Pilots and 18 transmission field workers across the island earned certification to perform rescues in remote areas. In addition, LUMA collaborated with the fire department to train the participants in aerial firefighting to protect transmission towers and critical power lines. They also learned helicopter safety during the training program. To learn more, look for a future feature article in T&D World magazine.

https://jo.my/8nwtew Forklift Safety: Maintenance and Emergency Response Creating a strong safety culture in your warehouse starts with regular forklift maintenance and a solid emergency response plan. When equipment breaks down unexpectedly, it can lead to delays, safety risks, and unexpected costs. However, you can prevent or minimize these issues by adopting the proper habits and paying attention to details. This week, we focus on proactive care and quick, clear responses when things go wrong. Forklifts are the backbone of any facility, but like all equipment, they wear out over time. Taking care of them extends their lifespan and keeps operators and others safe. Maintenance and emergency readiness are ongoing commitments that tie together all the other safety topics discussed. Here are some practical tips to help you keep your forklifts safe through maintenance and emergency response: Stick to a Maintenance Schedule Regular inspections and servicing help identify issues early. Check brakes, steering, hydraulics, batteries, and tires. Use a log to track service dates and upcoming tasks. Pay Attention to Warning Signs Listen for unusual sounds and look for slow response times, fluid leaks, and visible damage. Operators should report anything unusual immediately. Early detection can prevent breakdowns and injuries. Train Operators on Emergency Procedures Be sure operators know how to react if a forklift breaks down or malfunctions. This includes stopping the vehicle safely, turning off the ignition, and alerting supervisors. Make sure all operators understand when and how to use emergency stops. Keep Emergency Equipment Accessible Have spill kits, fire extinguishers, and lockout/tagout tools ready and in plain sight. When tools are close, and everyone knows how to use them, emergency actions are faster and safer. Don't Ignore Minor Issues A small leak or strange noise can become a significant hazard. If something feels off, address it. Facilities that act early reduce equipment downtime and prevent more serious safety problems. A safe facility doesn't rely on luck; it depends on action. Maintenance is more than just running forklifts—it's about keeping people safe and work moving. Being prepared for emergencies means that if something goes wrong, it won't get worse. Staying on top of upkeep and training keeps operators confident and prepared. It also sends a clear message: safety always comes first.

Today, I'm sharing something deeply personal and serious—my stalker story. For over a year, Timothy C. (we can share his full name soon if need be) has been physically stalking me, and his digital harassment goes back even further. Law enforcement is now involved, but I wanted to update you all in case anything happens to me—so there's no question about who did it. This episode isn't just about my experience; it's also about the reality of stalking, the dangers of obsession, and the importance of taking threats seriously. Stay aware, stay safe, and let's talk about it all, shall we?—https://noblegoldinvestments.com

In an increasingly connected world, the integration of technology into everyday life has transformed how we approach safety and security in our homes. One innovative development that exemplifies this trend is the advent of smart address numbers, such as the Firefly created by Glomensio. These devices not only serve the practical purpose of displaying a home's address but also incorporate advanced features designed to enhance safety and improve emergency response times.Smart Address Numbers Enhance SafetyThe concept of smart address numbers emerged from a simple yet profound realization: traditional house numbers often fail to provide adequate visibility and recognition, particularly in emergency situations. Drew Timmler, co-founder and COO of Glomensio, recounted personal experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic when delivery services struggled to locate homes due to unclear or poorly illuminated address numbers. This inspired the development of a modular, light-up house number that could significantly improve visibility and usability.More Than Just a House NumberOne of the most compelling features of Glomensio's smart address numbers is their ability to communicate vital information during emergencies. The second-generation Firefly device includes a unique function that allows the house numbers to flash red and blue when a 9-1-1 call is made. This feature serves as a visual alert to first responders and nearby residents that someone is in distress, potentially saving lives by ensuring help arrives promptly. The ability to signal emergency situations through a simple visual cue is a game changer, especially in neighborhoods where homes may be spaced apart or obscured by landscaping.The safety benefits of smart address numbers extend beyond emergency alerts. Their visibility can assist not only emergency responders but also neighbors and family, reducing confusion and ensuring that help or services reach their intended destination without delay. This is particularly crucial in urban or suburban environments where homes may look similar or where street lighting is inadequate.Glomensio's commitment to safety is further evidenced by their rigorous testing process. The first-generation units have been installed for over three years in diverse climates-from the harsh winters of Wisconsin to the hurricane-prone areas of Florida-demonstrating their durability and reliability. This extensive testing underscores the importance of ensuring that safety devices can withstand various environmental conditions, thus providing peace of mind to homeowners.Installation is EssentialThe smart address numbers are designed to be powered through mains electricity, ensuring they remain operational during critical moments. Timmler explained that while solar-powered or battery-operated options might seem convenient, they often fail to provide reliable service when needed most. By requiring a constant power source, Glomensio's smart address numbers guarantee that the emergency features will function without interruption, addressing a common concern among consumers regarding the reliability of alternative power solutions.Conclusion: A House Number That Provides Safety and SecurityIn conclusion, smart address numbers represent a significant advancement in home safety technology. By combining visibility with emergency response features, these devices enhance the ability of first responders to locate homes quickly and efficiently, thereby potentially saving lives. As we continue to embrace smart technology in our lives, innovations like Glomensio's smart address numbers will undoubtedly play a crucial role in enhancing safety and security in our communities. Investing in such technology not only improves our immediate surroundings but also fosters a culture of preparedness and vigilance that is essential in today's world.Interview by Scott Ertz of F5 Live: Refreshing Technology.Sponsored by: Get $5 to protect your credit card information online with Privacy.

In this conversation, Devon Tilly and co-host Nathan Wood chat with Chad Pearson and Charlie Dunn in preparation for the AEC Summit in Austin, Texas in April 2025! This podcast is a part of a series of episodes that will be coming out from now until Spring 2025 covering the AEC Summit in Austin, Texas April 23rd – 25th 2025. We encourage our listeners and partners to share and engage with us during this conference coverage! Charlie tells a good story. From lightning fast development on the Las Vegas strip, to oil fueled expansion in Edmonton, Alberta, to once in a generation energy plant upgrades throughout the Southeast, to global mission critical and life science construction for enterprise owners, he thrives in the challenging delivery gap between “as is” conditions and the “to be” designed state. His career highlights include the on-site project management of over 2.5 million square feet of new distribution space across North America with zero recordable injuries, and WANO (World Association of Nuclear Operators) recognition for the use of 4D technology in project delivery. He knows that projects succeed because of people—what they believe, strategy—as it supports creativity and innovation, and tools—to deliver value, drive out waste, and improve safety. Charlie's current working definition of a project storyteller is this: imagine that which is not, and take others there with you. He believes that construction may be the highest form of storytelling, for it transports humanity in a permanent way. Chad is a partner at Plexxis Software, where he helps deliver software to the ‘trades' while coaching teammates on performance under pressure. Outside of Plexxis, Chad is a Mixed Martial Arts and Wrestling coach. Prior to ConTech, Chad worked in Law Enforcement in Emergency Response, CIB (Criminal Investigation Bureau) and as an Outlaw Motorcycle Gang Liaison Officer. His formal training includes a Bachelor of Arts from University of Guelph, Crisis Resolution & tactical communication, CBRN (Chemical, Biological, Radiological & Nuclear Response), Police Defensive Tactics and Use of Force. Co-host Nathan Wood understands how rewarding the design and construction process can be when technology and culture embrace a new era of innovation. Nathan first earned his reputation as an industry thought leader in 2011, sharing his award-winning implementation of virtual design and construction (VDC) while working on integrated project delivery (IPD) healthcare projects. Nathan strives to share the best practices and lessons learned he's gathered from over 100 project teams spanning the US, Europe, and the Middle East. These experiences have taught him that when it comes to adopting technology in construction, it's not one size fits all. For that reason, Nathan founded SpectrumAEC with a clear goal — solving the human barriers to new process and technology adoption. As SpectrumAEC's founder and chief enabling officer, Nathan helps organizations and project teams successfully adopt change through executive strategy sessions and end user workshops. Nathan continues to support industry progression through conference presentations, academic papers, and as President of the Construction Progress Coalition.

Early in the morning on March 1, without notice, the General Services Administration eliminated its 18F program, what was an internal team of tech consultants and engineers that developed open-source tools to improve digital services across the federal government. Just short of its 11th birthday, 18F had grown to be a staple in the federal government's digital services development and acquisition space. Now when you type in "18F.gov" to visit its website, you're met with an error message. The team has been completely wiped from the face of the federal government. GSA hasn't given much reasoning for the termination. Thomas Shedd, head of the agency's Technology Transformation Services organization that housed 18F, said during a town hall last week that the decision was based purely on its reported cashflow struggles and that it hadn't been cost-recoverable. Dan Tangherlini, former GSA administrator when 18F was founded, joins the Daily Scoop to share his thoughts on what 18F meant to good government, the legacy of the organization, and how GSA will continue to serve as the federal government's center of tech excellence without this key team moving forward. Roughly a month after being replaced as acting CIO of the Department of Energy, Principal Deputy CIO Dawn Zimmer is now back serving in the department's top IT role, multiple sources familiar with the change confirmed to FedScoop. Zimmer is filling the CIO position for the second time since Inauguration Day after Ryan Riedel briefly took on the role overseeing the department's $4.3 billion IT portfolio in early February. As FedScoop first reported, Zimmer returned to her primary role as principal deputy CIO at Energy when Riedel, previously a network engineer at Elon Musk-owned SpaceX, was appointed to the CIO role. She took over the acting CIO role after Biden administration Energy CIO Ann Dunkin stepped down at the change of administrations. It's unclear why Riedel departed the role after just over a month. The Energy Department did not return questions about his short tenure. President Donald Trump nominated Sean Plankey to head the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency on Tuesday, the last major piece to fall into place for cybersecurity leadership in his administration. Plankey served in the first Trump administration, holding a few posts with cyber responsibilities. He was the principal deputy assistant secretary for the Energy Department's Office of Cybersecurity, Energy Security and Emergency Response in 2019 and 2020. Before that he was director of cyber policy at the National Security Council, starting in 2018. He has most recently been at the global cybersecurity advisory company WTW. Plankey was briefly under consideration in 2020 to lead the agency he's now nominated to be director of after Trump forced Chris Krebs out of the role. He had long been thought to be Trump's pick this time around, too. The Daily Scoop Podcast is available every Monday-Friday afternoon.

London Bombings: The 7th and 21st of July AttacksIn this episode of Crime Time Inc., the hosts take a deep dive into two significant events that rocked London: the 7th of July bombings and the subsequent 21st of July bombings in 2005. The discussion begins with an analysis of the differences between the two attacks, noting that while the 7/7 bombings resulted in mass casualties, the 21/7 bombs failed to detonate. This failure provides a unique opportunity to investigate the construction of the devices and the intentions behind them.The hosts delve into the specifics of the explosives, which were homemade using everyday materials like chapati flour and concentrated hydrogen peroxide, with a detonator made from TATP, a powerful explosive. They explore the intriguing question of whether the bombs on the 21st were intentionally designed not to detonate, a claim made by one of the convicted bombers, Hussein Osman, who argued that his motive was to protest the Iraq war rather than cause casualties.The episode also introduces Manfo Kwaku Asidu, another figure from the 21st of July bombings who testified against his co-conspirators, shedding light on the group's dynamics and motives. The hosts discuss the psychological impact of violent imagery used as propaganda to radicalize individuals and the complexities of human motivation behind such terror acts.Additionally, the podcast looks at the response of the emergency services and the resilient spirit of Londoners in the aftermath of the attacks. Issues such as interoperability of communication systems during emergencies and the overall preparedness of agencies are discussed. The hosts highlight the acts of heroism and altruism displayed by ordinary citizens, emphasizing the strength of collective resilience in the face of terror.The episode concludes with reflections on the lasting impact of these events on society, civil liberties, and national security, leaving listeners with thought-provoking questions about the nature of terrorism and the human capacity for resilience and empathy.00:00 Introduction to the London Bombings00:54 The Failed 21st of July Bombings01:13 Bomb Construction and Intent02:45 Profiles of the Bombers05:33 Emergency Response and Resilience07:11 Psychological and Societal Impact08:07 Debating the Bombers' Intentions13:26 Final Thoughts and Reflections Hosted on Acast.

In this episode of the How to Protect the Ocean podcast, host Andrew Lewin discusses the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles, emphasizing the significant role climate change plays in their occurrence and intensity. Lewin highlights that the wildfires are exacerbated by a phenomenon known as "hydroclimate whiplash," where California experiences extreme fluctuations between wet and dry conditions. In 2023, the state saw record precipitation and lush vegetation growth, but by 2024, drought conditions led to that vegetation drying out, creating ample fuel for wildfires. The situation was further intensified by the Santa Ana winds, which reached speeds of up to 90 miles per hour, allowing fires to spread rapidly and uncontrollably. The episode underscores that these abrupt climate variations, intensified by global climate change, contribute to the increasing frequency and severity of wildfires. Lewin stresses that ignoring the science behind climate change and the resulting environmental conditions will only lead to more disasters, as seen in both California and Hawaii. He calls for urgent action and the election of decision-makers who acknowledge and are willing to address climate change effectively. Overall, the episode serves as a somber reminder of the real and devastating impacts of climate change on communities, urging listeners to recognize the urgency of the situation and take action.
