Podcasts about National Preparedness Month

Emergency medical services are evolving beyond the traditional model of responding to a 911 call and transporting patients to the emergency department. September is National Preparedness Month, an opportunity to recognize how EMS systems are adapting to meet changing community needs. States are exploring new approaches including community paramedicine, mobile integrated health, telehealth, and treatment in place, while also working to address persistent workforce and funding challenges, particularly in rural communities.  Maggie Nilz, senior analyst for preparedness at ASTHO, discusses how these changes are reshaping EMS and what policymakers are doing to strengthen the systems that support emergency care, the focus of a recent Health Policy Update. She highlights efforts in Illinois, Alabama, and West Virginia to address rural EMS staffing, training, retention, and funding, and explains why better data will be increasingly important to understanding EMS needs. Funding & Collaboration Opportunities | ASTHOVoices From the Field: Public Health Success Stories | ASTHOPartnering with Community-Based Organizations to Prevent Youth Substance Use | ASTHO

Send us a text and chime in!September is National Preparedness Month, and Yavapai County's Office of Emergency Management is encouraging residents, families, businesses, and communities to take simple steps now to be better prepared for emergencies and disasters. This year's national theme, “Americans Stand Ready,” reminds us that preparedness starts with each of us. Yavapai County residents face a variety of hazards, including wildfire, extreme heat, severe weather, flooding, winter weather, and power outages. Being prepared can help residents protect themselves, their families, pets and neighbors while allowing first responders to focus on those who need help the most. “Preparedness doesn't have to be complicated or...   For the written story, read here >> https://www.signalsaz.com/articles/yavapai-county-says-72-hours-is-no-longer-enough/ Check out the CAST11.com Website at: https://CAST11.com Follow the CAST11 Podcast Network on Facebook at: https://Facebook.com/CAST11AZFollow Cast11 Instagram at: https://www.instagram.com/cast11_podcast_network

In the wake of state-level abortion restrictions, a critical federal battleground has emerged over the distribution of chemical abortion drugs like mifepristone. While individual states have passed legislation to protect the unborn and regulate procedure standards, federal policies governing telehealth prescribing and mail-order delivery allow these drugs to bypass state lines entirely. Through out-of-state "shield laws" and unmonitored postal delivery, pregnant women can obtain high-risk medications without undergoing in-person medical evaluations, ultrasounds, or screening for dangerous complications such as ectopic pregnancies. Key legal battles—such as Louisiana v. FDA—are now testing whether state governments have the legal authority to enforce their own life-affirming laws against federal regulatory policies and out-of-state entities. With medication now accounting for the majority of abortions nationwide, the future of state-level protections depends heavily on how courts and federal regulators handle the mail-order loophole. Anne Schlafly, Chairman of Eagle Forum, is scheduled to join me to discuss the issue.Following the events of January 6, 2021, the U.S. Department of Justice launched the largest prosecution effort in American history. However, fundamental questions surrounding prosecutorial overreach, statutory misuse, and judicial accountability continue to spark intense national debate. Central to this discussion is the application of 18 U.S.C. § 1512(c)(2)—an obstruction statute originally intended for corporate financial evidence tampering—which prosecutors weaponized to secure massive felony exposure against non-violent defendants before being heavily restricted by the U.S. Supreme Court. Scheduled to join me, John Strand, author of Patriot Plea: The J6 Journey of a Political Prisoner in the Divided States of America, offers a firsthand perspective on the system. After serving 366 days in federal prison and enduring extended solitary confinement, Strand outlines how aggressive sentencing pressure, solitary isolation, and systemic double standards within the District of Columbia court system were used to compel plea agreements. While executive pardons have provided relief to affected individuals, key structural questions remain unanswered regarding how these cases were handled, whether court officers can be held accountable for constitutional violations, and what reforms the Justice Department must enact to prevent future political prosecutions.Five years after the fall of Kabul, the geopolitical and human aftershocks of America's withdrawal from Afghanistan continue to reverberate. Released by Palladium Pictures in collaboration with WSJ Opinion Docs, the documentary The Path to Zero takes viewers inside the final weeks of America's longest war. The film reconstructs the strategic decisions that led from the order for a total troop drawdown down "to zero" to the rapid collapse of the Afghan government, the withdrawal from Bagram Airfield, and the desperate, chaotic airlift at Hamid Karzai International Airport.Through candid, eyewitness testimony from military commanders, on-the-ground diplomats, intelligence personnel, Afghan allies, and Marines stationed at the airport perimeter, the film exposes the raw realities of the evacuation. It examines critical moments like the deadly Abbey Gate suicide bombing, the mass evacuation of over 124,000 individuals, and the plight of thousands of loyal Afghan partners who were left behind due to shifting bureaucracy. Beyond policy failures, The Path to Zero confronts the deep "moral injury" borne by service members forced to navigate impossible choices, while questioning why senior leadership has largely avoided accountability for the tragic outcome. Michael Pack, the President and CEO of Palladium Pictures LLC, and producer and director of The Path to Zero, is scheduled to join me to talk about it.

The GOP midterm convention is under way. There is excitement at the prospect of refocusing the brand and the messaging that led to a "too-big-to-rig" win for Donald Trump; there are also some troubling things that are sneaking their way into that messaging. Since the convention is still ongoing, I'll wait to do a full review, but I have a couple of points I want to raise. About three years ago, the known terrorist group, Hamas, murdered over 1,200 innocent men, women, and children in horrific, gruesome barbarity, and took 254 hostages in an effort to shield themselves from the righteous response that they expected. Among the dead were 46 Americans. Another 12 Americans were kidnapped and tortured for months before the United States and Israel managed to secure the release of those who survived the starvation and torture. Yet, the horror of the October 7th terror attack seems to be fading from the minds of Americans as antisemitism steps out of the shadows (let's be honest, it has always been there waiting for its chance to re-emerge) and support for Hamas seems to be growing. (I would point out that in true leftist propaganda fashion, "they" say support for the Palestinians, but then they ignore the fact that no one has suffered more at the hands of Hamas than the Palestinians. If you don't count the Oct. 7th victims.) And now, the State Department appears not only willing but eager to memory-hole the deadliest terrorist attack on Americans in a decade.An investigation of 10 graduate education programs raises serious questions about whether GSEs are preparing teachers for the realities of the classroom or instead shaping teachers' worldview with a belief system that is focused on immutable characteristics and activism while remaining actively hostile toward Western ideals and anything resembling traditional education.27-year-old Anthropic and OpenAI researcher Jacob Coxon announced on X that he had resigned. The companies, he wrote, "are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. . . . The people building AI earnestly believe that it could kill us all by the end of the decade."Aimee's Audios Subliminal Acoustic Fingerprinting: https://www.aimeesaudios.com/It's National Preparedness Month, so check out My Patriot Supply's National Preparedness Deals! https://www.mypatriotsupply.com/pages/national-preparedness-month?_ef_transaction_id=&utm_source=everflow&utm_medium=aff&utm_campaign=&utm_term=84&utm_content=&oid=1&affid=84Limited-time offer: BrainMD Build Your Own Bundle!

RaeAnn Tucker joined Wake Up Tri-Counties to talk about National Preparedness Month, Fall Health Clinics, Insurance Navigators, and National Food Safety Education Month. September is National Preparedness Month, aligning with the 24th anniversary of 9/11, and this year's focus is “Preparedness Starts at Home.” The Henry & Stark County Health Departments urge residents to assess local risks, create emergency plans, and assemble supply kits. Resources are available at henrystarkhealth.com and ready.gov.

Sam Rux from OSF HealthCare joined Wake Up Tri-Counties to talk about National Preparedness Month and how the OSF HealthCare system prepares its staff, and how you can prepare at home. September marks National Preparedness Month, a time to focus on getting ready for emergencies before disaster strikes. This year's theme from FEMA's Ready Campaign, “Preparedness Starts at Home,” spotlights essential steps: know your risks, make a family emergency plan, build an emergency supply kit, and get involved in your community. With active threats inside hospitals often unfolding within eight minutes, OSF HealthCare Saint Luke Medical Center in Kewanee is taking action to safeguard staff and patients. Since 2016, the 25-bed facility has implemented a series of security upgrades, including increased protection for night-shift employees and training for 43 staff members in de-escalating aggressive behavior. The hospital introduced a workplace violence debrief tool, expanded departmental education, and prioritized thorough documentation of incidents. Backed by a $120,000 investment, these efforts aim to boost preparedness, enhance collaboration with local law enforcement, and foster a safer environment for the community. OSF Medical Centers conduct random drills to keep staff up-to-date on emergency procedures and practices. Taking a few moments now to pack a go-bag or review Ready.gov's low-cost preparation tips can pay off when every second counts. Classes in first aid, disaster response, and CPR are also available to help you protect yourself and others. Start today, and help ensure your family and community are prepared.

Today, we're joined by Preeti Emrick, Director of the Anne Arundel County Office of Emergency Management. It seemed timely since September is National Preparedness Month. Her office is on the front lines of planning, coordination, and response when disaster strikes — whether it's hurricanes, winter storms, flooding, or even large-scale public safety events. We dive into the mission of OEM and the wide range of responsibilities they carry to keep residents safe. Preeti also shares some practical tips for preparedness that every household can put into place, along with a candid look at the challenges that keep her awake at night. From communication systems and community outreach to the behind-the-scenes capabilities that most people don't even realize exist, she gives us an inside look at how the county gears up for emergencies big and small. It's a fascinating conversation about resilience, readiness, and why preparedness matters for all of us.

FRS radios aren't all created equal. Some blister-pack sets are cheap toys that break in a weekend, while others are solid enough to trust on family trips or in an emergency. In this third episode of the FRS Mini-Series, Caleb Nelson (K4CDN) takes a practical look at the gear: What really matters in an FRS radio (durability, batteries, usability) Why you shouldn't believe the “35-mile range” marketing The difference between throwaway blister packs and quality FRS options Caleb's go-to pick for a reliable family radio This isn't about buying the most expensive radio on the shelf — it's about choosing gear that works when your family needs it.
