    Episode 142: One Health - Balancing Human, Animal, and Environmental Health After Disaster

    On this episode, we're veering a little bit away from the traditional emergency management topics to highlight and integrate a new approach to some potentially very difficult response situations. Today, we're diving into the One Health approach, a holistic strategy that aims to sustainably balance human, animal, and environmental health. One Health recognizes that the wellbeing of humans, animals, plants, and ecosystems are interconnected and interdependent. Historically, public health emergencies like disease outbreaks have focused on human medical responses. However, integrating human, animal, and environmental health considerations can lead to a more effective solution. So today, we'll explore examples of how One Health principles have been applied to increase resilience and reduce disease threats. And also provide a new perspective on the intersection of public health and emergency management.

So, in this episode, we get down to the basics and explore the responsibilities of the EHP program - how it operates during and after disasters and why preserving our natural and cultural heritage is essential for resilient recovery. Whether you're a history buff or an environmental enthusiast, or simply curious about FEMA's multifaceted role, this episode is for you.

    Episode 140: A Fireside Chat about Cybersecurity and Emergency Management

    On today's episode, we have a really exciting conversation that we'd like to highlight for you. FEMA was thrilled to recently host a joint FEMA virtual town Hall with our colleagues at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency - CISA. FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell joined CISA director Jen Easterly for a special fireside chat where they discuss the crossover in our two mission spaces and our shared commitment to resilience and unity. FEMA and CISA often work hand-in-hand to keep communities across our nation safe. An issue surrounding cybersecurity and infrastructure security continue to be increasingly important areas of focus for all emergency managers. So, to that end, we wanted to represent their conversation for you here on today's episode. I hope you enjoy this fantastic conversation.

    Episode 137: Weatherproofing Finances

    If financial resiliency is an individual or family's ability to handle financial shocks and adjust to financial changes, there is no greater shock than a disaster. They cause both short and long-term financial challenges for survivors. While at times complex, financial resiliency is also full of opportunity to improve our ability to adjust and overcome those challenges that directly impact our ability to recover from emergencies. So, on today's episode, we focus on building financial resiliency before, during, and after disasters, and how financial resilience is far beyond building a savings account.

    Episode 136: Experts Discuss Crisis & Risk Communications to Meet the Needs of Communities

    When a crisis occurs, communities need actionable messaging, reflective of their unique circumstance in order to respond. Creating effective communications begins before a crisis by engaging communities to understand their needs and appropriately communicating their risks. Risks across the communications field, increasingly complex challenges are emerging. In emergency management, overcoming these challenges is necessary to sustain and save lives. To meet these needs, FEMA is leading efforts to strengthen organizations and agencies' commitment and ability to create and deliver tailored messaging. A few weeks ago on June 10th, FEMA's Office of External Affairs, in collaboration with some esteemed roster of co-sponsors hosted the first ever Risk Communications, Crisis Communications and Community Engagement Summit. On this episode, we'll take you back to a packed house at the prestigious auditorium at the National Academy of Sciences in Washington DC. While we can't air the entirety of the nine-hour summit, we wish we could. We are happy to share a couple of key panels and highlights from some of the dynamic conversations that took place throughout the day. First up, Associate Administrator of External Affairs, Justin Ángel Knighten, and then he'll follow up with our FEMA Administrator, Deanne Criswell, who is well known for her hands-on operational expertise. She is a commanding and empathetic spokesperson, so we hear her kicking off the day.

    Episode 135: Expert Panelists Address Extreme Heat Impacts, Communications Tactics, and Mitigation Measures

    Millions of Americans are being impacted by extreme heat waves, which are growing in intensity, frequency, and duration due to climate change. And so, in response to the calendar year 2023 annual planning guidance, where FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell directed a review of all current FEMA authorities, capabilities and gaps to develop a unified agency approach to build resilience to threats driven by climate change such as extreme heat. FEMA Region 5 partnered with the National Exercise Division to host the first Extreme Heat Summit last year in 2023, which we've highlighted here on this podcast. But recently, in May of 2024, we hosted FEMA's second Extreme Heat Summit here in Chicago. Building on the lessons from the 2023 summit, our focus was expanded to include actions that state, local, tribal, and territorial governments can take to prepare for, mitigate and respond to extreme heat events. The summit featured a wider variety of presenters, including state and local leaders and representatives from academic and nonprofit organizations. So, we wanted to bring you back to Chicago for a full replay of the expert panel discussions. We're representing for you the conversations around extreme heat impacts planning and data analysis, communications and messaging, and nature-based solutions.
