In this episode of Jobbers: American Energy, Jason Case sits down with Jose Ross, Emergency Management Officer for the City of Henderson, to discuss emergency preparedness, fuel resilience, and the public-private partnerships helping Southern Nevada prepare for the unexpected. After fuel interruptions caused by a power outage and California wildfires, the City of Henderson and Rebel Oil began working together to identify vulnerabilities in Southern Nevada’s fuel supply and strengthen their emergency response plans. Through tabletop exercises, the teams tested real-world scenarios, identified gaps, and built stronger communication between emergency managers, fuel suppliers, drivers, and public safety agencies. The conversation also explores what makes Las Vegas unique. With Formula 1, EDC, New Year’s Eve, the Super Bowl, and other massive events bringing huge crowds into the valley, emergency preparation requires coordination across multiple jurisdictions, police and fire departments, private companies, and logistics providers. Jason and Jose also discuss how technology—from 360-degree truck cameras to advanced emergency-response tools—can improve situational awareness. But one of the biggest lessons from the episode is that preparedness doesn’t require an unlimited budget. Sometimes meaningful progress starts with the right people, a tabletop exercise, and a box of donuts. If you want an inside look at how Southern Nevada prepares for fuel disruptions, emergencies, and some of the world's largest events, this is the conversation. 🎧 In This Episode: • Jose Ross’ journey into emergency management • How Las Vegas prepares for major events • Why Southern Nevada is vulnerable to fuel disruptions • Lessons from Nevada’s recent fuel interruptions • Building public-private emergency partnerships • How tabletop exercises expose vulnerabilities before emergencies • Protecting fuel drivers during supply disruptions • Fuel logistics when California supply routes are interrupted • Preparing for Formula 1, EDC, and other major Las Vegas events • Using technology to improve driver safety and situational awareness • Why emergency preparedness doesn’t require a massive budget YouTube Chapters 0:00 Coming Up... 1:01 Meet Jose Ross & Emergency Management in Henderson 1:49 How Las Vegas Prepares for Major Events 4:01 From Chef to Emergency Management 6:24 FEMA, Fuel Logistics & Emergency Response 7:55 Nevada’s Fuel Supply Vulnerabilities 10:57 Why Tabletop Exercises Matter 12:37 Finding Gaps Before an Emergency Happens 14:22 Protecting Fuel Drivers During a Crisis 16:35 Testing Emergency Plans With Rebel Oil 18:31 Nevada Emergency Preparedness & Fuel Resilience 20:28 Best Practices for Emergency Planning 21:59 Fuel Logistics Across Nevada 23:09 Preparing Las Vegas for Formula 1 25:40 How EDC Changes Fuel & Safety Planning 27:15 Using 360° Technology to Protect Drivers 28:08 Robot Dogs vs. a Box of Donuts 29:24 Why You Don’t Need a Huge Budget to Prepare 30:09 Final Thoughts Thank you for watching Jobbers: American Energy, the podcast that captures the real, unscripted stories of the people powering America’s fuel and energy industries.
