Chris Sanders is Senior Manager for Verizon Frontline Crisis Response Team. The Crisis Response Team is a national, rapid deploy, professionally trained team who solve routine and complex communication challenges in all environments. This team of multi-disciplinary provide on-demand emergency assistance to government agencies, first responders, frontline workers and communities—to help maintain mission-critical communications. Chris is the Verizon Frontline Senior Manager for Crisis Response for Georgia and Alabama, as well as the developer and leader of the crisis response UAS team. He draws upon his experience from ten years on active duty in the United States Army where he served as a tactical air traffic control operator and senior noncommissioned officer to provide a calm demeanor during times of crisis. His experience also includes several years of work in the UAS industry working on mapping, photogrammetry, LiDAR, and beyond visual line of sight operations. He holds a bachelor's degree in unmanned systems and robotics from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and a Master's degree in Geographical Information Systems and cartography from The University of Southern California. Earlier this year, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and Verizon Frontline have signed a three-year Cooperative Research and Development Agreement to explore new strategies to rapidly deploy uncrewed aircraft systems to collect and distribute imagery of damage resulting from severe storms such as tornadoes or hurricanes. As part of this partnership, the Verizon Frontline Crisis Response Team will provide the uncrewed aircraft system platform, sensor, and personnel resources needed to rapidly respond and collect aerial imagery of storm-damaged areas of interest identified by NOAA. The goal is to enhance the ability of NOAA's National Weather Service offices to quickly conduct post-storm damage assessments, while also providing data for research conducted by the NOAA National Severe Storms Laboratory. This data will be used to help researchers better understand tornado behavior and impacts with a goal of improving warnings. In this episode of the Drone Radio Show, Chris talks about the Verizon Frontline Crises Response Team, the partnership with NOAA and how systematic data collection can aide local communities in redeveloping after a disaster.
Despite their variety of backgrounds, certifications and areas of expertise, the Verizon Frontline Crisis Response Team galvanizes behind a single mission when disaster strikes. Their first and primary objective is to restore network connectivity amid the worst of conditions so their partners in medical response, law enforcement and emergency operations can do their jobs. “Verizon Frontline has basically built a 30-year partnership with public safety from the ground up, by meeting their unique and evolving needs,” says Jason Mitchell, Associate Director of the Verizon Frontline Crisis Response Team. “And we do that by having conversations with them consistently, finding out what's top of their mind, and what keeps them up at night.” Host Mike McCabe sits down with Mitchell to learn more about this unique team and the critical work they do in damaged communities.
"Cybersecurity is homeland security, cybersecurity is national security." ~ Governor Doug DuceyI recently had the incredible opportunity to sit down with former Arizona Governor Doug Ducey for an exclusive interview on The Public Sector Show by TechTables. Governor Ducey served as Arizona's 23rd governor from 2015 to 2023, during which time he transformed the state into a national leader in cybersecurity and technology modernization.In this rare and candid conversation, Governor Ducey shares his firsthand experience prioritizing cybersecurity as Homeland Security. He discusses the innovative strategies his administration implemented to strengthen the "human firewall" and dramatically reduce the state's vulnerability to cyber threats.But, in case you aren't watching the video, I wanted to pass along a couple of the main points.Cybersecurity as Homeland SecurityUnder Governor Ducey's leadership, Arizona prioritized cybersecurity as a critical component of homeland security. The state invested resources to improve cyber resiliency, recognizing that protecting citizens' data is just as important as physical security.Strengthening the "Human Firewall"Governor Ducey recognized that 90% of cyber breaches were due to human error. To combat this, he focused on strengthening the "human firewall" by requiring monthly cybersecurity awareness training for state employees using realistic phishing simulations. This hands-on defensive training approach, similar to how sports teams practice, enabled Arizona to dramatically reduce the percentage of employees falling for phishing attempts from 14% to 4%.Modernizing State Government through Technology InnovationArizona took a cloud-first approach, moving from outdated on-prem data centers to Google's secure cloud platform. The state also established a Cyber Command Center to monitor and defend against constant cyber threats in real-time. In his final year, Governor Ducey passed the Whole of State initiative, investing $10 million to provide cybersecurity tools to local governments, protecting them from rising cyberattacks.Executive Leadership StrategiesIn this exclusive interview, Governor Ducey shares his perspective on executive leadership strategies, such as the Arizona Management System for operating government like a lean business. He discusses the importance of metrics, strategic planning, selecting the right people, and driving cultural change when working to improve an organization.Lessons from an Entrepreneurial BackgroundGovernor Ducey also shares lessons from his entrepreneurial background, including scaling Cold Stone Creamery, which shaped his approach to expanding the ice cream franchise from one store to over 1,400. His experience in the private sector influenced his leadership style and strategies for driving innovation and efficiency in state government. ------Before we get into this week's podcast, I wanted to give a special shout-out to TechTables podcast sponsors: SentinelOne, Verizon, and SAP.SentinelOne's AI-powered security platform to break down silos and protect this state's entire enterprise with real-time data and control.

Together, they dive into technology trends that we could (and should!) use to improve the security of citizens and first responders, from license plate readers to crime mapping, facial recognition, drone surveillance and AI analysis. Watch in as our panel discusses: Keeping the 9/11 legacy alive with new generations How awareness of occupational cancer and mental health concerns is more prevalent today Community preparedness and incident command 9/11-related illness and its continued impact and devastation today How AI can contribute to the security of citizens and first responders The importance of information sharing and security Memorable quotes Our cohosts shared poignant reflections of the infamous September day and offered their analysis on how best to prepare first responders for large-scale mass casualty events, with several notable takeaways: “It's up to all of us to try to get better, try to improve, try to do something to hone our profession to provide the best service we can when we're called to do that. And that doesn't require a chief, that doesn't require leadership; that requires a mirror, and that requires you and some dedication.” — Aaron Zamzow “After 9/11, we had PPE in the trunk of every radio car, and training every year, and little-by-little, the suits expired, the training stopped, the funds ran out; and we may be at a situation worse than before, so we need that impetus to take another run at preparedness, training, exercises, PPE, equipment, and a best practices manual, and that's got to come from above so that we're all doing it the same.” — Jim Dudley “The economic factor should not be a factor. FEMA puts out 100, 200, 700, 800 for free to law enforcement agencies and many more subsets beyond that. So if you are an agency – if you're listening to this podcast – if you're not practicing ICS, find out why and explain to your chief sheriff, ‘it's free, we've got to do it; we should start doing it now.” — Jim Dudley “We're not working for today – we're working for the next 5 and 10 and 15 years now – and how do we need to prepare for this?” — Chris Cebollero “We saw firefighters run into that building – there were police officers there too – that were in harm's way, trying to get people out of there, and that's what we do, and now we're seeing ‘hey, even though we do that, there are harms beyond just that physical incident.'” — Aaron Zamzow “We're in protective service and we need to be proactive in the way that we look at these things … we looked and said this could never happen; well it did, and we did a heck of a job responding after the fact, and we were very proactive after a period of time, and I think that's gotten a little bit lax and we need to stay on our toes, stay vigilant, and I think that's one of the best ways to remember all those people sacrificed in these events, is to grow from them.” — Aaron Zamzow Additional resources Read more reflections, tips for processing and lessons for training to respond to MCIs in our 9/11 coverage, sponsored by Verizon.

The result of this life-altering time was Meg's book, Topic of Cancer; Riding the Waves of the Big C. https://megstafford.com/Tami Charles is the New York Times bestselling author of numerous books for young readers, including the picture book, All Because You Matter (illustrated by Bryan Collier) and the novels, Muted, Like Vanessa and Becoming Beatriz.
