Both posts are sort of a counterpoint to what I've been hearing about in the FEMA classes I've been taking, both #independentstudy & state level: the idea that professional #emergencymanagers don't want ppl "self deploying," essentially getting in the way.

Notes on #UAP Discussions: This is a good “ How To think about UAP” intro for
#CivicPlanners, #FirstResponders, #LawEnforcement and #EmergencyManagers at state and local levels.Because various facets of the subject matter have now garnered more serious attention across state and local agencies the need for planning, training and policy are finally being recognized

Working as a SimCell Injector for a statewide exercise today and throughout the week. We're stress testing the State's systems to respond to a 9.0 Cascadia subduction event.

We will get some great data and opportunities for improvement from this effort.

I've let this one sit as an open tab for over a week now; it feels good to catch up a bit.

Interesting piece about AI solutions in #EmergencyManagement and response.

As wildfires burn throughout the West, officials are turning to AI

In California, fire officials began using artificial intelligence last year to scan cameras for smoke.

I studied ShotSpotter in Chicago and Kansas City – here’s what people in Detroit and the more than 167 other cities and towns using this technology should know

Our research found that while ShotSpotter may have benefits for improved detection and response, it offers little benefit for enforcement and clearance and did not reduce gunshot victimization.

How much of an impact could this type of framing make?

I've worked on #hazardmitigation plans for years, and my team has advised communities to consider things like critical infrastructure and essential services.

Might the addition of the word "resilience" catch the attention of new, valuable stakeholders?

I know this made the rounds a few days ago, but it's worth sharing again.

Among several stand-out sentences is the following:

"The survey results also emphasize the diversity of recovery needs, from short-term assistance with displacement-related costs to longer-term recovery programs and protections against scam artists and illicit recovery schemes."

More Than 3 Million Americans Were Displaced by a ‘Natural’ Disaster in the Past Year. How Can We Prepare for Our Climate Future?

To best prepare for disasters that are likely to increase in severity and frequency, policy solutions will need to originate from all corners of the government—not just emergency management offices.

"'As humans, we need stories to make sense of change, to find our place in the script of it...'"

What a great quote to kick off the weekend.

#emergencymanagers, what does this mean to you? How do we make meaning for our constituents before, during, and after crises?
