Podcasts about Mitigation

Recent Ten Across Conversations episodes have considered how current changes in staffing, research, and responsibilities within federal agencies like FEMA and NOAA may affect disaster readiness and response at the local level. Many cities find themselves pressed to rethink how their own limited resources might secure the information and support necessary to address the growing risks they face.  Collaborative regional networks are proving to be one way to achieve much greater returns on investments of local time and funds. The Mississippi River Cities and Towns Initiative (MRCTI) has become an outstanding example of this type of work. Formed in 2012, this innovative coalition of 105 mayors from cities along the main stem of the Mississippi has spearheaded programs in vital policy areas including clean water, sustainable economies, and climate resilience.  Among their most interesting efforts from a Ten Across perspective is the pilot parametric insurance policy MRCTI is developing with global reinsurer Munich Re. When realized, this program would allow member cities to opt in to a customized, shared insurance pool that could rapidly fund local emergency response based on predefined environmental trigger events.  Listen in as City of Gretna Mayor and MRCTI Louisiana Chair Belinda Constant joins MRCTI's executive director, Colin Wellenkamp, and Ten Across founder Duke Reiter to discuss how collaboration can help defend against more frequent and costly risks.  Relevant articles and resources  “Trump moves to end NASA missions measuring carbon dioxide and planet health” (PBS, August 2025)  “Trump, who called FEMA ‘slow,' is making people wait months for help” (E&E News by Politico, May 2025)  “As Mississippi River towns experience whiplash between drought and flood, mayors look to new insurance model” (The Lens, November 2024)  Relevant Ten Across Conversations podcasts  Why the Ten Across Geography Needs FEMA with Dr. Samantha Montano  Beyond the Forecast: TV Meteorologists Weight in on Climate Challenges  Past and Future Resilience Along the Mississippi with Boyce Upholt  Want to Understand the Future of Climate Resilience?

Colin Wellenkamp is the executive director of the Mississippi River Cities and Towns Initiative and an elected member of the Missouri House of Representatives.  His extensive career in the legal and policy fields has been focused on advocating and advancing public interests through improving local government functions and the activity of the business world. Colin has a B.A. in Environmental Studies from Saint Louis University, a J.D. from Creighton University School of Law, and a Master of Laws (LL.M.) in Sustainable Development Law from George Washington University Law School.    Mayor Belinda Constant is the mayor of the City of Gretna, Louisiana and the first woman elected to the city council or mayorship. Elected as mayor in 2013, she has led a variety of resilience initiatives for the city, including the Gretna 2030 plan and Stormwater Master Plan. She became a member of the Mississippi River Cities and Towns Initiative shortly after it was formed in 2012 and has served as co-chair and current Louisiana Chair of the organization.

This summer saw immense river flooding that resulted in more than 130 deaths in Texas and heavy rainfall that blocked roadways in Oklahoma. Disaster preparedness and hazard mitigation are becoming more important as climate change causes more severe and unpredictable weather, scientists say.Mentioned in this episode:Social Media tags

We are all aware of diacetlyl in beer but how does it originate and importantly, how do we reduce it? Then allow us to introduce Todd Isbell, a senior brewing technician at the University of Nottingham and International Centre for Brewing Science. Todd has a BS in civil and environmental engineering from Clarkson University and is a graduate of the United States Army Chemical School. A professional brewer for more than twenty years in the United States, he has taught fermentation sciences at Rockingham Community College for five years, and was the founding technical chair for the Master Brewers Association of the Americas Carolinas district. In his recent talk, Todd discusses the origins of diacetyl and how it's reduced. He also highlights dry hop creep and how this phenomenon can be dealt with to create beers with higher drinkability as well as shelf stability.

Episode 813: Today we're uncovering a wildfire in Oregon that nears 'megafire' status.  A look at this phenomenon that is occurring more frequently.  Plus, disaster mitigation solutions continue to be a key focus for state legislators. How they're addressing extreme weather challenges in a new era of risk.Today's episode is sponsored by Holborn.

Motorcyclists love the freedom of the open road. But freedom isn't free, and sometimes the price incautious riders pay after a crash is severe brain injury or even death; both, the statistics tell us, are avoidable by wearing a helmet certified by testing. Outfitting with appropriate riding gear is key to maximizing the odds of--literally--walking away from a motorcycle crash. Today, we talk to Hong Zhang, director of education for the Snell Foundation--a leading national nonprofit dedicated to setting the most effective helmet safety standards--and TTI's Cathy Brooks, project specialist in the Institute's Road User Safety Program. | For more information on the Snell Foundation

In this episode, we continue our exploration of how utilities are working to mitigate the threat of wildfires with a look at how PG&E is transforming its grid to reduce ignition risk throughout its 70,000-square-mile service area. Host Dave Whitehead is joined by James Tuccillo, manager of distribution and asset planning, to discuss PG&E's multi-pronged strategy, which includes an ambitious plan to underground 10,000 miles of power lines. James also shares insights into how advanced, staged-fault testing and high-impedance fault detection technology are reshaping how utilities detect and respond to downed conductors—before they spark a fire.

While traditional insurers continue retreating from wildfire-prone areas, leaving property owners scrambling for coverage, onecompany is taking the opposite approach by combining cutting-edge analytics with mitigation-focused strategies. Green Shield Risk Solutions is tackling the wildfire insurance crisis head-on, proving that with the right technology and expertise, these risks can be successfully managed rather than simply avoided.Pat Blandford, CEO and founder of Green Shield Risk Solutions, discusses how his company addresses the growing challenge of insurers retreating from wildfire-prone areas by combining sophisticated analytics with proactive mitigation strategies. Unlike traditional approaches that focus primarily on predicting fire likelihood, Green Shield's Property Guardian platform emphasizes making properties insurable through detailed risk assessment and targeted mitigation recommendations.Blandford shares compelling success stories from the recent Los Angeles wildfires, where properties following their mitigation recommendations survived while surrounding areas were devastated. The discussion also covers the company's expansion plans into other catastrophic risks and the broader ecosystem of stakeholders needed to build truly resilient communities.Resources:Green Shield Risk Solutions: https://www.greenshieldrisk.com/ Property Guardian: https://www.propertyguardian.com/Technosylva: https://technosylva.com/ The Institutes: https://global.theinstitutes.org/Predict & Prevent website: https://www.predictandprevent.org/Sign up for our weekly Predict & Prevent newsletter: https://www.predictandprevent.org/newsletter/

Commentary by Pilar Sepúlveda Sanchis.

In this jam-packed episode of The Forest School Podcast, Lewis and Wem are joined by ecologist Tilly Tilbrook to unpack the truth behind the controversial Planning and Infrastructure Bill and its implications for UK wildlife. Tilly brings decades of ecological fieldwork, policy experience, and field stories—from dormice in torpor to Pringles-tube water voles—to help listeners understand what's really happening on the ground. The episode explores what ‘protected species' legally means, how ecology impacts (or doesn't) the planning process, and the ripple effects of changes to legislation. With clarity, humour, and urgency, Tilly shares why conservation matters, how Forest School leaders can connect children to real local data, and why the narrative around bats, tunnels, and housebuilding needs serious rethinking. A vital listen for anyone who works outdoors, loves wildlife, or wants to understand the deeper systems shaping our landscapes.

The groups worry the Corps' pending approval of a project in Prince George County could upend the legal mechanism that protects wetlands in Hampton Roads.

It has been a big and bold week for the Say Reporters and we are here to share it all with you.First we get the penultimate recap of “Suits LA” out of the way and aside from the inclusion of Louis LItt it was just another example of why this show was ultimately cancelledThen Devon has a quiz for Sejohn comprised of the four questions he got wrong when putting his Adam Sandler knowledge to the test at a local pub trivia night focused on his filmsNext a brief examination of the now common practice of offering video games a few days earlier than release date at a premium cost and how we found a way to avoid that nonsense using old access codes and Xbox Game Pass.Finally we get to the real meat of the episode when we discuss all of the Brendan Fraser films that have been discussed on the show in celebration of Brendan Fraser History Month and construct a tier list based on our feelings about his performances in each.

Can we effectively limit wildfire risk or change the fire risk profile using deliberate grazing? Or is this just wishful, simplistic thinking: "Cows eat fine fuel so that stops fire, right?" These are questions that demand scientific answers, not just anecdotes or coffee shop opinions. Sergio Arispe has worked with other researchers in the Western U.S. to better understand numerous questions around grazing for fire control and to fine-tune the timing, duration, intensity, and frequency of grazing that is most effective in shifting the plant community toward fire resiliency. A current ranch-scale research project aims to understand winter grazing effects on cheatgrass populations and associated wildfire risk in the subsequent summer. This is a timely topic for most rangelands in North America and especially drier ecosystem types with any species of exotic annual grasses.
