Welcome to a fascinating glimpse into the future of public safety happening right now in Dublin. Deputy Chief Greg Lattanzi and Sergeant Andrew Clark join us to reveal how cutting-edge technology is transforming emergency response in our community.Dublin has emerged as a national leader in technologically-enhanced policing, becoming the first law enforcement agency in the country to partner with both schools and the fire department for drone launch sites. The results are remarkable: drones can now be deployed anywhere in the city within 90 seconds, providing critical real-time information during emergencies. What started as a modest program with seven officers and three drones in 2020 has evolved into a sophisticated network of strategically placed docking stations that serve as force multipliers during major events and everyday emergencies alike.But the innovations don't stop there. The City is deploying two 400-pound autonomous security robots that patrol the Rock Cress Parking Garage and Riverside Crossing Park around the clock. These highly visible robots, equipped with two-way communication capabilities to 911 dispatch, serve both as crime deterrents and as additional "eyes" in areas. Complementing these technologies are 22 license plate reading cameras strategically placed throughout Dublin, helping officers quickly identify stolen vehicles and individuals with outstanding warrants while providing valuable investigative data when crimes occur.Behind all this technology stands Dublin's newly formed Business District Unit, focusing specifically on the unique needs of high-density areas like Bridge Park. Using data-driven approaches centered on deploying resources in the "right places, right times and for the right reasons," these specialized officers address everything from traffic concerns to emerging crime patterns.The most powerful takeaway from our conversation? Technology serves the community, not the other way around. As Deputy Chief Lattanzi reminds us: "You're never bothering us. That's what we're here for. We're dedicated to service, fully engaged in public safety." Tune in to discover how Dublin is leading the way in balancing technological innovation with compassionate, community-focused policing.

China's Ministry of Water Resources has elevated its emergency response to flooding in Gansu and Qinghai to Level-III, the third-highest in the country's four-tier emergency response system.

When is it right to stick to your role—and when do you need to step up and act, even outside your formal job description? Mike and Jim tackle the age-old advice to “stay in your lane” by examining what it truly means in high-stakes environments. From a cop showing up to a burning house to Marines turning wrenches one moment and picking up rifles the next, we break down how flexibility, judgment, and initiative can make the difference between failure and mission success. Drawing on real-world examples like the 2012 Taliban attack on Camp Bastion—where Marine pilots and maintainers dropped tools and returned fire—we ask: Is it always someone else's job, or do high-performing teams blur the lines when the stakes are high? This episode is about knowing your capabilities, understanding your limits, and recognizing when stepping outside your lane is not only appropriate—but necessary.

https://vimeo.com/1105603802 Electrical Safety Awareness: Emergency Response Electrical hazards can turn routine tasks into life-threatening situations in seconds. Knowing how to respond during an electrical emergency is critical to protecting lives. Quick, correct action can prevent further injury and even save a co-worker's life. A strong safety culture starts with awareness and preparation. When an electrical incident occurs, panic often sets in. That's why training and clear procedures matter. Every second counts, and your actions can make a massive difference in the outcome. Remember, electricity is silent and invisible, so never assume a scene is safe until you confirm it. Here are a few tips to assist you with emergency response to electrical incidents: Never touch a person still in contact with electricity. Electricity will travel through them and into you. Stay back until the power is off. Shut off the power source immediately. Be aware of the location of the main circuit breakers and shutoff points in your area. Practice finding them during safety drills. Call emergency services without delay. After the power is off, dial 911 or your local emergency number. Provide clear information on the situation and the injured person's condition. Do not use metal tools to move live wires. If you must move something to disconnect power, use only non-conductive materials, such as dry wood or a fiberglass rod—but only if necessary for safety. Get trained in basic first aid and CPR. If the person isn't breathing or has no pulse after power is cut, begin CPR if you're taught—every minute counts. Responding effectively means planning. Walk through your facility and familiarize yourself with the location of electrical panels and emergency shutoffs. Please make sure they're accessible at all times. Blocked panels waste precious seconds in an emergency. Invest time in regular electrical safety training. Encourage team members to stay current on CPR and first aid certification. When everyone knows what to do, the risk of panic drops and response times improve. Electrical emergencies are rare, but they're unforgiving. Your knowledge and quick action can make the difference between a close call and a tragedy. Stay alert, stay informed, and prioritize safety above all else. Thank you for joining us for another episode of Warehouse Safety Tips. Until we meet next time - have a great week, and STAY SAFE! #Safety #SafetyFIRST #SafetyALWAYS #StaySafe #SafetyCulture #ElectricalSafety #ElectricalHazards #SafetyTraining #CPRTraining

State lawmakers have been quick out of the gate to file bills to address the July 4 floods that have killed at least 135 people in Texas' Hill Country. Gov. Greg Abbott said addressing the floods is his top priority for a special legislative session that began Monday. In other news, 67-year-old Rebecca Phillips faces a felony terroristic threat charge after part of Dallas Love Field was closed Tuesday evening. Police were called to Love Field at about 6:35 p.m. ; a state appeals court says Dallas still can't enforce rules that restrict where short-term rental properties listed on Airbnb, Vrbo and other platforms can operate in the city, doubling down on a similar opinion from February; nd Texans looking for work could receive additional support under new state laws designed to reinforce the career training that has positioned Texas as a leader in workforce development.

Crisis fundraising operates on a different timeline than traditional campaigns. When disaster hits, organizations have a critical 24-hour window to mobilize resources and activate their networks. But what separates organizations that thrive in crisis from those that scramble?The difference lies in preparation—having systems, messages, and community relationships ready before the emergency unfolds. It's about building infrastructure that can pivot quickly while maintaining donor trust and emotional resonance throughout evolving circumstances.In this episode, Marcie Maxwell talks with Jessi Woomer, Director of Digital Fundraising for the American Red Cross. With ten years of experience leading national digital fundraising strategy, Jessi shares how organizations can prepare for crisis moments and deploy peer-to-peer strategies that turn urgency into sustainable support.Together, we'll explore:Why the first 24 hours of crisis response are make-or-break for fundraising successHow to build donor targeting strategies that balance local impact with broader community engagementPractical systems for transitioning from emergency response to long-term donor stewardshipMentioned LinksAmerican Red CrossStay Connected on LinkedInConnect with JessiConnect with MarcieConnect with the Peer-to-Peer Professional Forum (00:00) - Welcome to The P2P Soap Box (02:27) - Introducing Jessica Woomer (06:58) - Resources when Skies are Clear (15:07) - Messaging in Crisis (25:42) - Assessing Success (29:39) - Learn More...

Cynthia Kierner, historian, self-declared "non-21st century person," and Mets fan, is deeply interested in the role of disturbances across American history- hurricanes, earthquakes, and disease, oh my. In her book, Inventing Disaster: The Culture of Calamity from the Jamestown Colony to the Johnstown Flood, she reviews the history of natural disasters and how we respond to them across time and space in the United States.Hosts Alysha and Todd join their guest in asking colossal questions on cataclysms: How do governments simultaneously prepare for risks at local, regional and national levels? What role do community outsiders play in disaster prevention and recovery? Can the government make you wear a seatbelt?From Philadelphia's yellow fever epidemic of 1793 to the worldwide shutdown of COVID-19, disturbances shape communities in a major way. In this episode, we review the life cycle of natural disasters and how they impact communities today... and tomorrow.Cynthia's Haiku (An Ode to Jersey City):Superstorm SandyRollercoaster in the seaInspiring disasterLinks:Inventing Disaster: The Culture of Calamity from the Jamestown Colony to the Johnstown Flood: https://uncpress.org/book/9781469652528/inventing-disaster/ Rethinking American Disasters (NEW): https://lsupress.org/9780807179932/rethinking-american-disasters/ Bio: https://historyarthistory.gmu.edu/people/ckierner

Patient advocate Lianne Mandelbaum discusses her article, "What Avarie's death in Rome teaches us about the gaps in food allergy education." Lianne reflects on the tragic death of Avarie, a young American student with a known tree nut allergy who died in Rome due to anaphylaxis, contrasting this loss with the promising advancements in food allergy research and treatment. She meticulously outlines the systemic failures in Avarie's case: despite informing the restaurant of her allergy, she was served pesto containing cashew; her first epinephrine auto-injector reportedly failed; and the responding ambulance lacked the appropriate medication. Lianne underscores how lived experience with anaphylaxis shapes risk perception and highlights the urgent need for comprehensive, lifelong food allergy education starting from a young age. This education must cover crucial skills such as safe food ordering, self-advocacy in various settings including when studying abroad, and clear emergency response protocols. She points to a pervasive societal underestimation of food allergies and calls for widespread education at all levels—for patients, families, schools, universities, the hospitality industry, physicians across specialties to ensure timely allergist referrals, and particularly for first responders to be properly equipped and trained. Lianne advocates for making the knowledge and use of epinephrine as normalized and accessible as CPR, urging the community to translate knowledge into action to prevent further avoidable deaths.

Public Health Careers podcast episode with  Dr. Heidi Steinecker, DrPH

- Building Resilience in the Aviation Industry (Part II) In this episode, John is in conversation with Richard Drennan, Business Continuity and Crisis Response Manager at flydubai. He started his aviation career on the ground with Menzies Aviation before holding roles within Titan Airways and British Airways in the U.K. In 2014 he joined flydubai within their Network Control Centre following his original discipline of Operations Control/Flight Dispatch. Since then, he has progressed and held roles in Airport Services and Safety before being tasked heading up Business Continuity & Emergency Response for the Organisation. In addition to these roles, Rick hold the position of Emergency Response Director and is a member of the company Threat Assessment Group. 01:17 You mentioned the Dubai floods last year was a black swan event. But what if these are more regular occurances due to the changing climate patterns? 04:56 In Terms of decision making in critical situations or times of crisis - how do you think leadership styles influence the outcome of a crisis? 06:12 A crisis isn't the time to be developing relationships... 08:30 Rick, what advice would you give to organisations who are looking to build stronger crisis management frameworks? 14:47 What have you learnt by working in your profession that you may have adopted as a standard working practice or perhaps you even use it in your personal life?

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.
