Show Notes: Disaster as a MirrorEpisode Summary:In this episode of the Emergency Management Network, hosts Todd DeVoe and Dan Scott explore one of the most revealing truths in our field: disasters don't introduce new problems—they expose the ones already there. A hurricane, a wildfire, a blackout, a pandemic: each becomes a mirror reflecting the strengths, weaknesses, inequities, and blind spots embedded in our communities long before impact.Todd and Dan trace this phenomenon through the research of Daniel Aldrich and others, connecting social vulnerability, infrastructure choices, governance failures, and community cohesion to the wildly different outcomes disasters produce. They discuss why disasters disproportionately affect specific populations, how historic policy decisions echo across decades, and what emergency managers must confront when the mirror shows us something we'd rather ignore.The conversation blends field experience, research, and a reflective “Garage Philosopher” edge—challenging listeners to consider what disasters reveal not just about our systems, but about ourselves.Topics Covered:Disasters as amplifiers: Hazards don't treat everyone equally; they magnify pre-existing inequities.Social vulnerability & history: How redlining, disinvestment, and infrastructure neglect play out during crisis.Daniel Aldrich's research: Why social capital predicts survival and recovery better than physical infrastructure alone.Systemic exposure: How disasters spotlight policy failures, brittle systems, and governance gaps we tolerate in “blue-sky” time.Operational implications: EM must acknowledge that preparedness and resilience are shaped by long-term societal conditions, not last-minute planning.Moral visibility: Disasters reveal whose voices get prioritized, whose neighborhoods get rebuilt, and who gets left waiting.Rebuilding with honesty: Using the mirror constructively—community engagement, equity-centered planning, and revisiting assumptions.Quotable Moment:“A disaster doesn't break a community—it shows where the cracks already were.” This is a public episode.

China has launched a nationwide inspection of fire hazards in high-rise residential and public buildings after a major blaze in Hong Kong killed at least 128 people, with about 200 others still unaccounted for, authorities said.中国政府宣布，香港发生重大火灾造成至少128人死亡、约200人下落不明后，中国已启动全国范围的高层住宅和公共建筑消防隐患排查工作。In a notice issued on Saturday, the Work Safety Committee of the State Council instructed local governments to immediately carry out checks and fix problems in occupied residential towers, office buildings, hospitals and shopping complexes. The campaign aims to prevent accidents linked to renovation work, aging facilities and blocked evacuation routes, the committee said.国务院安全生产委员会周六发布通知，要求各地政府立即对已投入使用的住宅楼、写字楼、医院和商场进行安全排查整改。该委员会表示，此次行动旨在防范因装修施工、设施老化及疏散通道堵塞引发的事故。The directive comes in the aftermath of Wednesday's fire at Wang Fuk Court, a residential estate in Hong Kong's Tai Po district. The blaze was first reported at 2:51 pm and quickly escalated to the city's highest alarm level, sending thick smoke billowing into the sky and spreading to seven of the development's eight apartment blocks. All visible flames were brought under control by Saturday.该指令是在周三香港大埔区旺福苑住宅区发生火灾后发布的。火灾于下午2时51分首次报告，迅速升级至全市最高警报级别，浓烟滚滚升腾至天空，并蔓延至该发展区八栋公寓楼中的七栋。截至周六，所有可见火势均已得到控制。Initial findings indicate the fire started on lower-floor scaffolding and spread rapidly due to flammable insulation materials and bamboo structures used for exterior wall repairs. The buildings were undergoing maintenance at the time, and the outer surfaces were covered with construction netting and othercombustible materials, investigators said.初步调查结果显示，火灾始于低层脚手架，因外墙维修使用的易燃隔热材料和竹制结构而迅速蔓延。调查人员称，事发时建筑正处于维护阶段，外表面覆盖着施工防护网及其他可燃材料。Under the new nationwide measures, checks will target risky renovation practices, such as unapproved construction, use offlammable insulation and hot work like welding in crowded indoor spaces.根据新出台的全国性措施，检查将重点针对高风险装修行为，例如未经批准的施工、使用易燃隔热材料，以及在拥挤的室内空间进行焊接等热作业。Inspectors will also focus on malfunctioning fire-fighting facilities, includingfire hydrants, sprinklers, smoke-control systems and emergency exits. Problems such as piles of combustible debris, blocked escape passages and electric bikes parked or charged in hallways are also listed as common hazards requiring immediate attention.检查人员还将重点排查消防设施故障问题，包括消防栓、喷淋系统、排烟系统及紧急出口。堆积的易燃杂物、被堵塞的逃生通道、以及停放在走廊或在走廊充电的电动自行车等隐患，也被列为需要立即处理的常见安全隐患。Local authorities have been told to combine self-inspections by building managers with random official checks. Hazards must be fixed without delay, and major issues will be subject to tighter supervision, the notice said. Severe violations will be punished.地方当局已接到通知，要求将建筑管理人员的自查与官方抽查相结合。通知称，隐患必须立即消除，重大问题将受到更严格的监督，严重违规行为将受到惩处。Officials said the campaign is intended to close safety loopholes and reduce the risk of large-scale tragedies, particularly in densely populated high-rise communities.政府人员表示，此次行动旨在堵塞安全漏洞，降低大规模悲剧发生的风险，尤其是在人口密集的高层住宅区。combustibleadj. /kəmˈbʌs.tə.bəl/可燃的，易燃的fire hydrants消防拴

In this special episode of Risk! Engineers Talk Governance, due diligence engineers Richard Robinson and Gaye Francis discuss psychosocial hazards in the workplace and the newly introduced Victorian Occupational Health and Safety (Psychosocial Health) Regulations 2025, which came into effect on 1 December.They explain that the new regulations largely re-states existing Occupational Health and Safety legislation requirements to identify, eliminate, and reduce such hazards as far as reasonably practicable. They also note that psychosocial hazards can manifest in various ways, such as aggression, bullying, exposure to traumatic events, and high-demand jobs. However, they argue that many of the hazards listed in the regulations are failed controls. They recommend that organisations break down psychosocial issues into specific mechanisms, such as vicarious trauma, workload stress, and occupational violence, and then develop targeted controls to address those mechanisms, and highlight how high-risk industries, such as marine pilotage and emergency services, that have long-standing practices for managing psychosocial risks. For further information on Richard and Gaye's consulting work with R2A, head to https://www.r2a.com.au, where you'll also find their booklets (store) and a sign-up for their quarterly newsletter to keep informed of their latest news and events. Gaye is also founder of Australian women's safety workwear company Apto PPE https://www.aptoppe.com.au.

As the grid transitions to green energy, battery energy storage systems (BESS) are popping up everywhere—from utility substations to residential neighborhoods. But what happens when lithium-ion technology fails? In this episode of The Voice of Experience, host Danny Raines and Fire Test Specialist Josh Dinaburg from the CSA Group dive deep into the reality of battery fire safety. Josh brings nearly 20 years of lab experience to explain why the "let it burn" strategy is often the safest choice for first responders and the environment. We dispel common myths about toxic runoff, explore how AI is revolutionizing failure detection, and discuss the rigorous testing standards keeping our communities safe. If you work in utilities, safety operations, or fire protection, this is the essential guide to understanding the risks and remedies of modern energy storage.   Learn More: https://www.csagroup.org/ Contact Josh: josh.dinaburg@csagroup.org Danny Raines, CUSP Book - Legendas of an Ole' Lineman: Order Here   Key Takeaways   The "Let It Burn" Strategy is Intentional: Contrary to public perception, the safest tactic for large-scale battery fires is often isolation rather than active suppression. Attempting to extinguish the fire can leave "stranded energy" in damaged cells, creating a "ticking time bomb" for secondary events, whereas letting it consume itself renders the waste safer for disposal. Manufacturing Quality is Improving Rapidly: While cell counts in storage facilities are increasing, the failure rate has dropped significantly—now estimated in the "one out of millions" range rather than hundreds.   Environmental Impact is Manageable: Extensive testing indicates that water and air quality impacts from these fires are generally comparable to standard structure fires. Runoff has not been demonstrated to cause immediate "forever chemical" threats to groundwater, provided the site is managed correctly.   AI is the Future of Prevention: The industry is moving toward advanced Battery Management Systems (BMS) that use AI to analyze temperature and voltage trends, allowing operators to identify and isolate failing cells months before a thermal runaway event occurs.   Firefighter Safety is Paramount: The primary risk to first responders is not just the fire, but the potential for explosion and high-voltage hazards. The current standard emphasizes life safety and evacuation over asset protection.   Q&A: Addressing Common Concerns   1. What is the biggest myth about battery storage fires? Answer: The biggest myth is that if fire departments aren't spraying water, they don't know what they are doing. In reality, standing back and monitoring is a calculated containment strategy. Active firefighting can waste water and endanger responders without effectively stopping the thermal runaway, so isolation is often the professional standard.   2. Does a battery fire pose a unique toxic threat to the local community? Answer: While lithium-ion electrolytes contain fluorinated compounds, the combustion products are remarkably similar to a typical house fire involving polyurethane furniture or cleaning chemicals under a sink. The smoke should be avoided like any other fire, but it does not generally require unique HazMat protocols beyond standard breathing protection and evacuation.   3. Can technology stop a fire once it starts? Answer: Once thermal runaway begins in a specific cell, the chemical and electrical energy makes it nearly impossible to stop that specific event. However, engineering controls—such as insulation barriers and novel injection systems—are designed to prevent that single-cell failure from propagating to the rest of the battery bank, turning a potential catastrophe into a minor, contained incident.   #BatteryStorage #FireSafety #RenewableEnergy #UtilitySafety #LithiumIon #CSAGroup   Subscribe to Incident Prevention Magazine - https://incident-prevention.com/subscribe-now/ Register for the iP Utility Safety Conference & Expo - https://utilitysafetyconference.com/ ________________________________ This podcast is sponsored by T&D Powerskills.

In part 2 of this episode of the HVAC Know It All Podcast, host Gary McCreadie talks with Richard Turner, owner of Modern PURAIR. They discuss the realities of duct cleaning in both residential and commercial spaces. Richard explains the challenges of cleaning systems after fires, poor construction practices, and general dust buildup over time. They discuss how better design and proper filtration could reduce the need for cleaning, but shortcuts in the building process keep the industry busy. The episode also touches on consumer awareness, filter options, and avoiding scams in the duct cleaning world. Gary and Richard talk about the real issues with dust in ductwork and why regular duct cleaning matters. Richard explains how systems fill with dust over time, especially when filters are poor or installations are rushed. They discuss the differences between residential and commercial jobs, and how cleaning methods change based on the setup. Richard also shares how poor construction and cheap choices by builders lead to long-term air quality problems. They wrap up by stressing the need for better education, cleaner installs, and offering homeowners real options to improve indoor air.   Expect to Learn: How dust builds up in duct systems and why regular cleaning is needed. Why new construction often leads to dirty ductwork before homeowners move in. How poor design and cheap filters reduce air quality and increase cleaning needs. Why do some builders skip cleaning and leave it up to the homeowner? How to spot scams in duct cleaning and choose a trusted company instead.   Episode Highlights: [00:00] - Intro to Richard Turner in Part 02 [01:40] - How Commercial Duct Cleaning Works [03:55] - Air Quality Data & Customer Concerns [06:45] - Why Ducts Get Dirty: Design & Filtration Issues [10:08] - The Importance of Cleaning After Construction [14:00] - Dealing with Duct Cleaning Scams This Episode is Kindly Sponsored by: Master: https://www.master.ca/ Cintas: https://www.cintas.com/ Cool Air Products: https://www.coolairproducts.net/ property.com: https://mccreadie.property.com SupplyHouse: https://www.supplyhouse.com/tm Use promo code HKIA5 to get 5% off your first order at Supplyhouse!   Follow the Guest Richard Turner on: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/richard-turner-4817b338/ Modern PURAIR: https://www.linkedin.com/company/modern-purair/    Website: Modern PURAIR: https://modernpurair.com/    Follow the Host: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gary-mccreadie-38217a77/  Website: https://www.hvacknowitall.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/HVAC-Know-It-All-2/61569643061429/   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hvacknowitall1/

In this episode, we're nearing the end of our toxicology series with a look at the common household hazards our patients ingest, and how to care for those patients confidently. Household hazards are something we see often - especially in my line of work, where things like caustic chemical ingestion or battery ingestion cause severe GI signs (or worse) needing intensive management. From fluid therapy, to nutrition, to analgesia, GI support and more, our role in caring for these patients cannot be overlooked. Today, we'll take a closer look at toxicosis from things like household cleaners, corrosive agents, alcohols and essential oils. We'll discuss the impact they have on our patients, and the nursing support these patients need. --- BRAND NEW ways to learn with me:

https://jo.my/d8kka3 Material Storage & Racking Safety: Storage Hazards in Warehouses Whether you're working third shift or early mornings, there's one thing every warehouse has in common—stuff. And a lot of it. From raw materials to finished goods, pallets to parts, every inch counts. But how and where things are stored? That makes all the difference between a safe workspace and a ticking time bomb. Storage hazards can sneak up fast. You stack a few boxes a little too high. Squeeze one more pallet in a tight spot. Before you know it, you've blocked an exit, buried a fire extinguisher, or created a toppling hazard. It happens. But it doesn't have to. A strong safety culture means staying ahead of these risks before they become problems. Here are a few ways to keep storage safe and controlled in your facility: Don't block emergency equipment. You can't afford to lose time during an emergency. Always keep exits, fire extinguishers, eye wash stations, and control panels fully visible and accessible. Not just “mostly clear”—completely clear. Keep heavy items low. Heavy boxes and materials should be placed on the bottom racks or the floor—not at eye level or higher. If it falls, it's a serious injury waiting to happen. Use proper lifting techniques and get help when needed. Gravity doesn't give warnings. Secure stored goods. Shrink wrap. Safety straps. Pallet locks. Use whatever it takes to keep stored items stable and secure. If something looks off-balance, it is off-balance. Take the extra time to fix it. That's not a suggestion. That's a safety rule. Keep aisles and walkways clear. Don't stack, store, or park anything where people need to walk or work. Blocked walkways create trip hazards, slow down response times, and cause congestion. A clean path is a safe path. Watch for pests and water damage. Leaky pipes and hidden pests can quietly ruin inventory—and your racking system. Keep an eye out for soggy boxes, rust, signs of nesting, or chew marks. If something smells off, there's probably a reason. As always, these are potential tips. Please ensure that you follow the rules and regulations of your specific facility. Creating a safer warehouse doesn't require new equipment or complex systems. Most of the time, it simply requires awareness, consistency, and a bit of extra effort. That pallet that's leaning sideways? Fix it now. That box on the top shelf? Bring it down where it belongs. Everyone plays a role in maintaining a safe and efficient workspace. Because in the end, proper material storage isn't just about keeping things in order—it's about keeping people protected. 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 #SafetyCulture #StaySafe #StorageHazards #MaterialHandling #RackingSafety #ClearAisles

With the current heightened uncertainly within the performance industry and the broader global instability, any kind of ‘tick the box' approach to our wellbeing is just not working as it used to. This podcast delves into next level strategies to help us navigate the risks and hazards of the industry at this time. We will be discussing: - Understanding our negative emotions and how to manage them - Forming a strong, personal identity. Developing a coherent identity which is not based on our success as an actor, whether we get a call back or get offered the part - Exploring being emotionally ‘detached with love' from the industry. Caring enough to invest deeply in our work but not caring so much that it impacts on our mental health - Creating new narratives for defining success - Discovering how to anchor ourselves in the midst of personal and global uncertainty Dr Julie Crabtree M.A. Dip Ed, FCHP, FCCOUNP, CCLP, MAPS, MBPSs, CPsychol. Clinical and Counselling Psychologist Secretary APS Arts and Performance Interest Group Director Zebra Psychology As an experienced clinical psychologist, Julie has worked extensively with a range of people and is experienced in treating complex issues. Also through her doctoral research into creativity and mental health, she is at the forefront of our understanding of how to be both healthy and creative and has a unique approach to treating the concerns of those within the performance industries. In her practice, she regularly sees performers, creatives and their partners who are experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship issues, performance anxiety and the range of concerns that face those in the creative industries.

Awaab's Law, otherwise known as the Hazards in Social Housing (Prescribed Regulations) (England) Regulations 2025, makes major changes in the residential social rented sector. The Regulations sit underneath the wider Social Housing (Regulation) Act 2023.

"Safe and effective." This is the mantra of those in favor of vaccinations, who claim that they save lives. But, there is mounting evidence that they are neither safe nor effective. Most of us simply haven't been privy to the facts. That is about to change. Magdalene Taylor is the Director and Editor of The Informed Parent (TiP), a journal to encourage an informed vaccination decision based on a wide range of information. Magda was once a believer in vaccines until she came across some literature that gave her pause. Now she equips parents with information on the hazards associated with so-called immunizations. This episode focuses on many relevant topics including how few doctors speak out about vaccination risks, how little they actually know about vaccines, and how the entire medical industry is captured by the pharmaceutical industry. Magda also shares books, reference materials, and more to empower parents, along with suggestions for how to manage well-meaning relatives and friends (and medical professionals) who insist that any vaccine hesitancy is problematic.

https://jo.my/vkgjpd Incident Reporting & Root Cause Analysis: How To Report An Incident Properly If something goes wrong in your facility — whether it's a near miss, property damage, or an injury - how quickly and clearly you report it can make a massive difference. This process isn't just about paperwork. It's about preventing repeat incidents, protecting your team, and keeping the facility running safely and smoothly. A strong Safety Culture starts with strong communication. When incidents get reported the right way, everyone wins. The issue gets addressed quickly. Hazards get removed. And most importantly, people stay safe. That's the point. Here are a few ways to keep your incident reporting process transparent and compelling: Report it immediately. If something happens —even if it seems small —report it right away. Don't wait until the end of your shift. Don't assume someone else will say something. Reporting delays can worsen the situation or cause details to be lost. Speak up fast. Be specific. Make sure your report answers the question: Who was involved? What exactly happened? When and where did it happen? How did it occur? If it helps, think like a detective. The clearer and complete your report is, the easier it'll be to take the right action. Document the scene—if it's safe to do so. If you can safely snap a few photos or jot down notes, do it. This process helps capture what happened before anything gets cleaned up or moved. Visuals can go a long way in understanding the whole picture. Just make sure it's safe before you do anything. Know the reporting system. Every facility has its own way of doing things. It could be a paper form or a digital tool. You could notify your supervisor first. Know the process. If you're not sure, ask before something happens—don't wait until you're in the middle of a situation. Always follow up. Reporting an incident is step one. But don't stop there. Check to ensure your Safety Coordinator or Maintenance has taken action. Did the hazard get removed? Was the issue corrected? Following up shows you're part of the solution—and it helps prevent future problems. As always, these are potential tips. Please be sure to follow the rules and regulations of your specific facility. Proper reporting isn't about getting someone in trouble. It's about learning from what went wrong and making the warehouse a safer place for everyone. One missed report can leave a risk in place. But one accurate, timely report? That could be the reason someone makes it home safely. And if you're ever unsure whether something should be reported—do it anyway. Overreporting is always safer than silence. Thank you for being part of another episode of Warehouse Safety Tips. Until we meet next time—have a great week, and STAY SAFE! #Safety #SafetyCulture #IncidentReporting #RootCauseAnalysis #FacilitySafety #ReportItRight #SafetyFirst

In this episode of SpaceTime, we delve into the intriguing world of near-Earth asteroids, the evolution of our universe, and the remarkable discovery of a rogue planet experiencing unprecedented growth.Invisible Asteroids Near Venus: A Hidden ThreatRecent computer simulations published in the journal Astronomy and Astrophysics have raised alarms about a population of near-Earth asteroids that remain undetectable due to their proximity to Venus. These Venusian co-orbital asteroids, which share an orbital resonance with Venus, could pose a collision risk to Earth within a few thousand years. The study's lead author, Valerio Carumba, explains the challenges of observing these asteroids, as they are obscured by the Sun's glare. With a size of around 300 metres, these asteroids could create impact craters several kilometres wide, highlighting the need for dedicated space missions to monitor this potential threat.The Universe's Evolution: New Insights from the Epoch of ReionizationAstronomers have made significant strides in understanding the universe's early days, revealing that it was warmer than previously thought before the first stars ignited. Research based on observations from the Murchison Wide Field Array in Western Australia indicates that the gas between galaxies was heated around 800 million years after the Big Bang, contradicting earlier theories of a cold universe. This heating, likely driven by early X-ray sources, set the stage for the epoch of reionization, which transformed the cosmos from opaque to transparent, allowing light to travel freely.A Richie Planet's Remarkable Growth SpurtIn a groundbreaking discovery, astronomers have identified a rogue planet, catalogued as char 11 oh 7 minus 7626, that is not bound to any star and is growing at an astonishing rate of 6 billion tonnes of gas and dust per second. Located approximately 600 light years away in the constellation Chameleon, this planet challenges conventional notions of planetary stability. Observations reveal that its accretion rate fluctuates dramatically, highlighting the dynamic processes at play in the formation of rogue planets and blurring the lines between planets and stars.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesAstronomy and Astrophysicshttps://www.aanda.org/Astrophysical Journal Lettershttps://iopscience.iop.org/journal/2041-8205Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-your-guide-to-space-astronomy--2458531/support.Invisible Asteroids Near Venus: A Hidden ThreatThe Universe's Evolution: New Insights from the Epoch of ReionizationA Richie Planet's Remarkable Growth Spurt(00:00) The threat posed by invisible asteroids near Venus(10:30) New findings on the universe's warm early phase(19:00) Discovery of a rogue planet growing at record rates(27:15) Science Robert: 2025 Nobel Prize announcements

When OSHA's Process Safety Management (PSM) standard took effect in 1992, it promised a new era of systematic hazard identification. Three decades later, process safety professionals are still witnessing the same critical oversights repeatedly compromising facility safety—oversights that have contributed to near misses, and far worse, major incidents. Editor-in-Chief Traci Purdum reads an article from Felicia Miller, senior principal engineer at ABSG Consulting and Darshankumar Lakhani, senior manager in engineering at ABSG.

The Defense Department Inspector General has found that the military services are not properly overseeing maintenance of privatized housing units. According to the recent investigation, military housing officials did not correctly perform any of the inspections the watchdog observed inspectors skipped critical safety checks, including making sure windows opened in case of an emergency and ensuring electric outlets were free of electrical hazards. The military housing offices did not have enough staff or equipment to comply with oversight requirements. Federal News Network's Anastasia Obis spoke to Christopher DePerro, Program Director at the inspector general office, about what his team has found.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
