        Full Speed Ahead - Navigating The Complexities of Corporate Emergency Management

        Most companies and practitioners think Business Continuity, Emergency Management, and Crisis Management are all one big tent. Although each has some synergies, they are really quite distinctive in their character, roles, and importance for a well-rounded workplace resiliency program. Read my article as published in the Journal of Business Continuity and Emergency Planning.

        Why I Became The Anti-Disaster Kit Advocate

        For more than two decades "Get -A-Kit has been the call to action to get people ready for disasters. It has also been largely ignored by the public, and for those who can't afford it, an impossible and impractical venture. Disaster kits are not preparedness. In fact, no statistics exist to show one instance where having a few convenience items will actually save someone's life in an emergency. Learn why I'm an advocate for abandoning the continued promotion of what I call the Preparedensss Placebo, in favor of new approaches that will actually help people get ready for disasters.
