As we were publishing this episode, news from The New York Times broke that Jeremy Greenberg, head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) disaster command center has left his post, a day after President Trump said he would wind down the federal agency by November. CBS reported that Tony Robinson, regional administrator of FEMA Region 6, which includes Ten Across states New Mexico, Texas, and Louisiana, also intends to step down this week.  Since January, President Trump has talked about his intent to eliminate or severely diminish the role of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, relegating disaster response and recovery to the states. On Tuesday, he reiterated this goal and stated that no major changes would be made until after this year's hurricane season.  The administration's first six months, however, have already brought significant disruption to the agency's operations. One-third of its total staff has been laid off, an acting administrator was abruptly replaced after expressing support for the agency's existence, and nearly all climate resilience grants and training programs directed at state and local preparation have been canceled. While criticism of the agency and calls for its reform are not new, FEMA has been central to U.S. emergency management for decades. Now, at the onset of the 2025 hurricane season, emergency management experts throughout the country are widely reporting concern about the nation's readiness for disaster response.  To help us make sense of these real and proposed changes in this episode, ‘disasterologist' Dr. Samantha Montano returns to the podcast. Samantha will explain the origins of FEMA, valid areas for potential reform, and the issues inherent in turning its responsibilities over to the states— as environmental risks to lives and property in the Ten Across region become more difficult to insure.  Relevant articles and resources:   Listen to our first episode with Samantha  More on the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season and related misinformation  “Trumps says his administration wants to ‘wean' states off FEMA aid after hurricane season” (CBS News, June 2025)  “The dangers of a weakened FEMA ahead of an active hurricane season” (NPR, June 2025)  “FEMA Is Not Prepared” (The Atlantic, June 2025)  “FEMA leader fired after breaking with Trump administration on eliminating agency” (CBS News, May 2025)  “States denied disaster aid as FEMA safety net begins to shrink” (KUOW, May 2025)  Credits:  Host: Duke Reiter  Producer and editor: Taylor Griffith  Music by: Rand Aldo and Lennon Hutton  Research and support provided by: Kate Carefoot, Rae Ulrich and Sabine Butler  About our guest: Samantha Montano is an assistant professor of emergency management at the Massachusetts Maritime Academy and author of Disasterology: Dispatches from the Frontlines of the Climate Crisis. Her research tracks the evolution of emergency management policy and practice, as well as perceptions of emergency management. You can follow her newsletter, Disasterology, here.

Dr. Samantha Montano, an assistant professor of emergency management at Massachusetts Maritime Academy and author of Disasterology: Dispatches From the Frontlines of the Climate Crisis, explains the counterintuitive reality that the people who most need support during a disaster tend to get less government assistance.

From hurricanes on the East Coast to wildfires in LA, to floods in Vermont and storms in Texas, communities across the U.S. are facing a growing number of intense and devastating disasters. There are significant disparities in who has the means to evacuate during a disaster and who has the resources to rebuild once the storm has passed. Long after the immediate impact, the challenges continue, with many left to navigate a slow, complex, and often confusing recovery process.  As the harsh reality of climate chaos sets in, how can we better integrate community mental health into the disaster recovery process to ensure that emotional and psychological needs are addressed alongside physical rebuilding? Guests: Adrienne Heinz, Clinical Research Psychologist, Stanford University School of Medicine Samantha Montano, Assistant Professor of Emergency Management, Massachusetts Maritime Academy; Author, “Disasterology: Dispatches from The Frontlines of the Climate Crisis” Ralph Hamlett, Alderman, Canton, North Carolina; Professor Emeritus of Political Communications, Brevard College Haley Geller, Photo stylist; Pasadena resident We're excited to share two upcoming opportunities to see Climate One Live! On February 25, internationally recognized environmental and civil rights activist Catherine Coleman Flowers will join Climate One for a live conversation about the future of environmental justice.  And on March 24, Google's Chief Sustainability Officer Kate Brandt and Irina Raicu, Director of the Internet Ethics Program at the Markkula Center, will speak with Climate One about the development of sustainably powered artificial intelligence.

Massachusetts Maritime Academy's new training ship, the Patriot State, is heading to St. Thomas this week after stops in Puerto Rico and North Carolina. Students are taking part in a six-week voyage as part of the school's Sea Term.

This week: Provincetown is experimenting with a new flood protection barrier — it's made of red plastic and snaps together. Also, students at the Massachusetts Maritime Academy hoist anchor in a new vessel. And: homeowner insurance is getting harder to come by across the Cape and islands.

In this episode, we continue our conversation on equity-mindedness and how it can advance antiracist and equitable teaching in the classroom. Our guests Dr. Pallavi Limaye, Assistant Professor in Residence at the Department of Molecular and Cell Biology at the University of Connecticut, Dr. Saran Stewart, Director of Academic Affairs and Associate Professor of Higher Education and Student Affairs at the University of Connecticut, Dr. Román Liera, Assistant Professor in the Department of Educational Leadership at Montclair State University, and Dr. Becky Norton, Professor in the Science & Mathematics Department at Massachusetts Maritime Academy, share their perspectives on how equity-minded inquiry that can lead to changing teaching practices. We delve into the reality that, just as students, educators themselves can also constantly learn, take in information, and make necessary changes to improve their teaching and ultimately their students' learning outcomes. Yet, such efforts require lots of time and an ecosystem of support. We end with advice from our guests about being courageous, self-reflective, and creative in order to make learning more equitable for students.

In this episode, we focus on equity-mindedness and how it can advance antiracist and equitable teaching. Our guests Dr. Pallavi Limaye, Assistant Professor in Residence at the Department of Molecular and Cell Biology at the University of Connecticut, Dr. Saran Stewart, Director of Academic Affairs and Associate Professor of Higher Education and Student Affairs at the University of Connecticut, Dr. Román Liera, Assistant Professor in the Department of Educational Leadership at Montclair State University, and Dr. Becky Norton, Professor in the Science & Mathematics Department at Massachusetts Maritime Academy, share their perspectives on equity-mindedness and how it can inform important inquiry that can then lead to changing teaching practices. We also touch on how to support faculty who want to engage in this type of inquiry and work toward changing their teaching to achieve more equitable outcomes. We landed on the idea that we must get and stay curious in our understanding of data and be courageous to take on necessary changes.

We are rewinding to a conversation with Dr. Samantha Montano all about disaster management, in response to our recent episode on the concept of disaster capitalism. We get into everything you've ever wanted to know about living with stronger hurricanes, tornados, heatwaves… and just how we can protect our communities. Dr. Montano and I discuss her interest in disaster recovery in New Orleans immediately following Hurricane Katrina and the Levee Failure. Samantha educates of the phases of Disaster Management (and what can go right or wrong in each one!), and gaps in our current legal and political systems when it comes to actively preparing for and mitigating events that are often incorrectly referred to as ‘natural disasters.' We also dig deeper into the mismanagement of the covid catastrophe response. This episode was originally published December 2021 under the title "Disasters Aren't Natural: Managing Catastrophes + The Climate Crisis. Dr. Montano is an assistant professor of emergency management at Massachusetts Maritime Academy. She is the author of Disasterology: Dispatches from The Frontlines of The Climate Crisis published by Park Row. She earned her B.S. in Psychology from Loyola University New Orleans and an M.S. and Ph.D. in Emergency Management from North Dakota State University.  Thanks to our sponsor today!!

High Reliability, The Healthcare FM Podcast is brought to you by Gosselin/Martin Associates. Our show discusses the issues, challenges, and opportunities within the Facilities Management (FM) function.  In this episode of High Reliability,  we have excerpted an episode from the Healthcare Facilities Network. This YouTube Network, created by Gosselin/Martin Associates,   aims to increase awareness that the rewarding and stable career of healthcare facility management is open and available to all. However, an influx of new professionals is needed, from the trades to the management level. So in today's podcast, we speak about Filling the Pipeline. Filling the Pipeline was the genesis of the Healthcare Facilities Network:  To perform outreach and publicize that rewarding careers exist in Healthcare Facilities Management.  Our panel covers a great deal of ground, beginning with a simple question: Is the hiring process used in healthcare today able to meet the demands of the 2023 labor market? Their answers may surprise you. In the second part of this podcast, we look at internships and some challenges organizations face in attracting students.Our thanks to today's guests:CJ Brown, Women & Infants Hospital, Providence, RISteven Call, Ph.D., Washington State University, Pullman, WA Clay Ciolek, Facilities Manager at Providence Health & Services, Olympia, WA Lamar Davis, Shirley Ryan Ability Lab, Chicago, IL Christine Pirri, Bassett Healthcare, Cooperstown, NY Maryanne Richards, Massachusetts Maritime Academy, Buzzards Bay, MA Nancy Vanasse, Massachusetts Maritime Academy, Buzzards Bay, MA  @BassettNetwork @massachusettsmaritime @ShirleyRyanAbilityLab @HealthcareFacilitiesNetwork @carenewengland@ProvidenceVancouver @WSUPullman @providenceswedish@asheaha @IFMAGlobal @HealthcareFacilitiesNetworkCheck us out at https://gosselin-associates.com

In this episode, Dr Samantha Montana, an expert in disaster policy, discusses the U.S.'s approach to emergency management, specifically in the context of climate change. She highlights the complexity of disaster policy, which often necessitates a balance between immediate and long-term action. She explains that the U.S. has traditionally taken a reactive approach to disasters, and is only now shifting to proactive measures, with a heavy emphasis on the role of state governments. Additionally, the guest discusses the complicated relationship between the economy and politics in disaster policy. The discussions also delves into the different approaches to emergency management in other countries and the reasons why these can't always be applied to the U.S., due to significant differences in culture, politics, and the scale of disasters. The interview wraps up with discussions on the political aspects of disaster management, the necessity for a lobbying group in emergency management, and the disproportionate impact of disasters on disadvantaged communities.Dr Montano is an assistant professor of emergency management at Massachusetts Maritime Academy. She teaches courses on disaster preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation, vulnerable populations in disaster amongst other topics. Her research interests cut across areas of interest to emergency management. She primarily studies nonprofits, volunteerism, and informal aid efforts in disaster.

The Resurrection Of The American Chestnut At the turn of the 20th century, the American chestnut towered over other trees in forests along the eastern seaboard. These giants could grow up to 100 feet high and 13 feet wide. According to legend, a squirrel could scamper from New England to Georgia on the canopies of American chestnuts, never touching the ground. Then the trees began to disappear, succumbing to a mysterious fungus. The fungus first appeared in New York City in 1904—and it spread quickly. By the 1950s, the fungus had wiped out billions of trees, effectively driving the American chestnut into extinction. Now, some people are trying to resurrect the American chestnut—and soon. But not everyone thinks that's a good idea. Reporter Shahla Farzan and “Science Diction” host and producer Johanna Mayer bring us the story of the death and life of the American chestnut. 'Don't Look Up' Asks If Satire Can Stir Us From Climate Apathy What if scientists warned of a certain upcoming doomsday and no one took them seriously? That's the plot of director Adam McKay's latest dark comedy, Don't Look Up. Two astronomers discover a comet that's heading towards the Earth. The catch: There's only six months and 14 days to avert a total annihilation of humanity. The scientists, played by Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence, embark on a media campaign to convince the world and the president, played by Meryl Streep, to take the threat seriously. Joining Ira to talk about the parallels between this movie and real world crises like climate change and COVID-19 are Sonia Epstein, executive editor and associate curator of science and film at the Museum of the Moving Image in New York City, and Samantha Montano, assistant professor of emergency management at the Massachusetts Maritime Academy, based in Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts. Montano is also the author of Disasterology: Dispatches from the Frontline of the Climate Crisis. Surfing Particles Can Supercharge Northern Lights For thousands of years, humans have been observing and studying the Northern lights, aurora borealis, and their southern hemisphere counterpart, aurora australis. The simplest explanation for how these aurora form has been unchanged for decades: Charged particles, energized by the sun, bounce off the Earth's protective magnetic field and create flashes of light in the process. But for a long time, scientists have known it was more complicated than that. What exactly gives those incoming particles the energy they need to create the patterns we see? And why are some aurora more dramatic and distinct, while others are subtle and hazier? Aurora researcher Jim Schroeder explains new work published in Nature Communications that suggests that in more vivid aurora, electrons may “surf” waves of energy from space into our atmosphere. The waves, called Alfvén waves, are a side effect of the solar wind warping the Earth's magnetic field. Schroeder explains the weird physics of our aurora, and what we could learn about other objects in the universe as a result.

We may not always be able to predict when a natural disaster will strike, but there are ways that we can be better prepared. Samantha Montano is an assistant professor of emergency management at Massachusetts Maritime Academy, and she joins host Krys Boyd to talk about the science of emergency management, and why we're not doing enough to keep the public safe. Her book is called “Disasterology: Dispatches from the Frontlines of the Climate Crisis.”

Natalia interviews Dr. Samantha Montano, disasterologist and professor at the Massachusetts Maritime Academy about her newest book DISASTEROLOGY: Dispatches from the Frontlines of the Climate Crisis. They discuss why emergency management, something traditionally seen as “wonky” is actually hella feminist, how to battle fatigue when hearing the news, why flood plain maps are important and we ask the question, is there such a thing as a natural disaster?   Follow and support our host: Natalia: Instagram // Twitter Follow and support our guest: Dr. Samantha Montano: Twitter // Website // Newsletter   Disaster-ology Newsletter by Dr. Samantha Montano (includes a book recommendation every month!)

Today’s episode is a speech we did at Mass Maritime Academy on Valentine’s week which is of course, all about love and relationships. More specifically, how to make sure that you'll have a fulfilling one. One of the reasons why we love talking about this is because we've seen and heard so many who say that relationships are "easy" and almost always, they fail at theirs. What they fail to understand is that being in a relationship takes effort to make it last. So we want to make sure that we share what we know to help others. If you are in a relationship and you want to make this last, then this episode is for you. We love connecting with you guys! Reach out on LinkedIn, Instagram, or via email Website

John Petrolino is a United States Merchant Marine Officer, writer, firearms instructor, and author of Decoding Firearms: An Easy to Read Guide on Basic Gun Safety & Use. He matriculated at Massachusetts Maritime Academy, where he received a BS in Marine Engineering. John's call to write developed towards the end of high school and he has continued to develop both his style and the scope of content he covers.His exposure to the shooting world occurred when he was a youth, learning the fundamentals with a pellet gun in his back yard. Hunting and shooting became activities that John and his father began to do regularly starting around the age of eight. John's involvement in shooting sports grew further through the Boy Scouts and he spent some time as a shotgun shooting, rifle shooting, and archery instructor at a Boy Scout camp when he was 16. While attending Massachusetts Maritime Academy, he spent a season on the varsity Rifle Team.With literary interests deeply rooted in the Beat Generation, through the 2000's, John buried himself in literature and writing exploring the concepts behind that turbulent time in American history. Through the 2010's his work primarily focused on the actual rights surrounding the literature he loves and freedom represented in those works. Taking a closer look at what American rights are and the true and earnest preservation of them became part of his creative process. His work on the Second Amendment has appeared in The Truth About Guns, AmmoLand, Bearing Arms, Save New Jersey, the JM4 Tactical blog, and The Shore News Network.John has been a National Rifle Association certified firearms instructor in Basic Pistol, Shotgun, Rifle, Personal Protection Inside the Home, and Refuse to be a Victim for several years and recently became a United States Concealed Carry Association instructor. He believes that learning is a life-long journey and an important part of leading an enriched life.

I really enjoyed recording this episode, as the guest is a friend who I have been fortunate to have a lot of fun on the water with. Chris Hefferen currently helps manage Subsea Fleet Support for Noble, a leading offshore drilling contractor for the oil and gas industry. The company owns and operates one of the most modern, versatile and technically advanced fleets in the offshore drilling industry. Noble performs, through its subsidiaries, contract drilling services with a fleet of 28 offshore drilling units, consisting of 14 drillships and semisubmersibles and 14 jackups, focused largely on ultra-deepwater and high-specification jackup drilling opportunities in both established and emerging regions worldwide. Chris has been with Noble since 2011 and has traveled the world maintaining their fleet, doing rotations of up to 90 days living aboard the ships. Chris grew up sailing with his father off the coast of Massachusetts and attended the Massachusetts Maritime Academy where he concentrated in Marine Engineering and was a member of the varsity sailing team. When he’s not at sea for work, he is at sea for fun aboard his C&C 41 Leverage, which he purchased at the age of 25 to fully dedicate himself to the boating lifestyle. Chris has extensive regatta and offshore long-distance sailing experience – for instance he has completed 7 round trip sails from New England to the Caribbean, including multiple trips with just himself and one crew, and just as many Figawi races from Cape Cod to Nantucket. I have had the pleasure of being a guest on Chris’s boat many times including a week in the BVI, many of the previously mentioned Figawi races, sails in Newport, RI and Boston, MA, and more. Chris is a first rate captain and I am truly indebted to him for helping create some of my all time favorite memories on the water. This is a really fun interview with some great stories from sea including an incredibly harrowing tale of foul weather way off shore around the 16-minute mark, working on 90 day rotations off shore, and his ambitious sailing goals he'd like to accomplish before the age of 40. This is jam packed with too many stories to write so give a listen, and if you’re in the market for a sailboat, check out his listing. Enjoy! On his sailing start.....I started out sailing when I was young. My dad had smaller sailboats off the coast of MA. As I progressed I went to Mass Maritime Academy and joined their sailing team. From there I ended up doing some off shore racing and sailing and the play part came when I purchased my own boat at 25 years old. I bought that before I ever bought a house. I learned strictly through my dad, I never had any opportunity to go to a sailing school or anything. We usually sailed just off the coast of Newburyport, MA and Portsmouth, NH. Usually day sailing and a couple of overnight trips. On getting into racing.....Racing didn’t come until I went to college. I actually got cut my freshman year first semester. I had sailed and had plenty of experience but I didn’t have the gear or terminology down. I tried out the next semester and did make the team. The dynamics of sailing are the same, I always tried to make the boat go as fast as possible so that part was easy. It was more the tactics against other boats and trying to position yourself ahead of them or in the right spot to make sure you can stay ahead and beat them ultimately. We would go through drills, but it was more observing the better or more senior people and the coach would have some input as well. On some of his favorite college races.....We raced from Maine to Annapolis. They had quite a program down at the Naval Academy. They had 44 foot sailboats all of the same kind. That was a lot of fun having a one-design sailboat so you didn’t have to rely on any kind of rating system to keep the playing field level. On deciding to attend Mass Maritime.....My dad knew that I liked to be outside and work with my hands, and being close to the water. I went my sophomore year and looked around, and all the beaches and water was intriguing to me. They had an engineering program and all the boats around. I applied early and got in early and never looked at another school. The backup plan was…there was no backup plan. On the inspiration for buying his own boat.....When I went to Mass Maritime, I met quite a few people who didn’t go to school there and one of them introduced me to the off shore sailing aspect. I did a few off shore deliveries with him on other people's boats, moving them from Massachusetts to the Caribbean. I did one delivery on a Swan 48.We sailed 9 days straight to the Caribbean and I remember approaching the islands and seeing the clear waters and blue colors and that’s when I decided I needed my own boat that could go offshore, I could handle by myself, and something that I could live on so that I could reach those places on my own terms and own schedule. On DIY work around the boat.....The reason I do the work myself is it saves me a lot of money. It's hard to find marine technicians. And I like to know all the ins and outs of my boats, especially doing trips off shore where I am completely reliant on the boat. If something fails I know where it is and how to fix it, I think that’s the most important part of DIY work. On his favorite places to sail.....In New England, my favorite place is Nantucket. Everyone is on vacation there. It is completely relaxing and fun and has beautiful beaches. Bermuda is a wonderful spot as well. Not only do they have incredible waters, flight-wise its only two hours from Boston. The people are friendly, it's a very protected island, and in the way of off shore sailing it was put in a perfect place to be a harbor of refuge between New England and the Caribbean. I started off sailing in the BVI when I took my boat down the first time and that is a beautiful area. I know they were recently hit by two devastating hurricanes and it’s a different landscape from when I last saw but the beauty is still there and the people are friendly. The water is the same temperature as the air and the wind is always blowing perfectly. On what he is looking for in his next boat.....I want the strength of the current boat that I have, I like the speed for its size. But I'd like more tankage, and a couple more cabins so that families and friends can join us wherever we sail off to next. Ultimately the goal is to cross the Atlantic from New England before I'm 40 and see some of the Mediterranean, then down to the Caribbean and come back up, the great Atlantic Loop (Ed note: I think Chris made this term up, but I like it and what a great goal!). I'm looking for a boat strong enough to do that, 50-60 feet. There's a wide range of boats out there. I've looked at modern boats, classic cruising boats. I’m excited for the next chapter. On sail versus power.....I’m partners in an old 18 foot bass boat, a 1956 Palmer Scott built in New Bedford, MA. It currently needs a bit of work before we put it in next year. But when it comes to sailing the distance, I prefer to use the wind instead of fuel to get across oceans. On life aboard the work boats.....I did about five years on oil tankers running between Alaska and if we got lucky down to Hawaii. I used to do 75-90 day rotations and that got a little old. I looked for something shorter and decided to move to drill ships and became an engineer on a drilling rig. It floats in about 10,000 feet of water using thrusters to keep itself on location and drilling into the earth as deep as 40,000 feet. Since then I've shifted into Subsea engineering. We maintain the blowup preventer and all the associated equipment. On the best boating advice received.....The best advice is have your ducks in a row when it comes to safety. That was always drilled into my head and now that I skipper my own boat I would never want to hurt anybody on board and think about what I could have done differently. Other than that it's being comfortable on the water. To have a nice day on the water you have to be relaxed and comfortable with your boat and what you’re doing and that goes out to everybody else's attitude and affects them to positively have a nice day. On essential equipment.....Life jackets are a basic, simple thing to have on board but that’s a great start right there. I have an EPIRB on board and that gives me a lot of comfort knowing wherever I am in the world I can activate that and help is on its way. I also carry a life raft when I go anywhere off shore, it would be foolish not to.   As I mentioned, there's a lot more packed into this half hour, so give a listen and let us know what your boating goals and dream destinations are!
