How FEMA Does Resiliency; Computer Vision Enhances Safety Predict & Prevent

    • Management

Whether it’s making a community more resilient to disasters or helping an employer to reduce accidents in the warehouse, having the right data is key to focusing prevention efforts where they will have the greatest ROI. Join Host Pete Miller as he talks with Daniel Kaniewski, Managing Director-Public Sector of Marsh & McLennan and former deputy administrator of FEMA, and Alex Senemar, CEO and Co-Founder of Voxel AI, on how they are each working to transform the status quo and make communities and employees safer, and reduce the toll of paying for preventable losses.

Segment 1 (2:25): Pete and Daniel discuss a foundation of preparedness, mitigation and insurance, how FEMA shifted its focus to resilience from recovery, growing financial support for pre-disaster hazard mitigation, identifying other stakeholders vested in resilience, the importance of incentives, communicating the ROI of resilience, and the urgent need to close the resilience gap. 

Segment 2 (21:59): Pete and Alex talk about the inspiration for Voxel AI, integrating artificial intelligence and computer vision technology within existing workflows, a comprehensive view of safety risks and hazards in real time, capturing near misses to identify preventable losses, effectively measuring improvements in safety, and building collaborations to inspire and reward safer behavior.
