I have listened to the podcast for quite sometime and the content doesn’t include current events. For example, as our President has focused efforts to address the corona virus, the podcast focused on search and rescue. It is nice to know the government has all kinds of gee whiz software tools to tract disasters to the finest detail, but that isn’t helpful to the general population in my opinion. Unsubscribed.

I really enjoyed the FEMA Pub1 episode. Hearing the discussion regarding having a purpose and established values is critical in addition to getting people involved with the mission. The EM field is continually developing and it’s purpose especially on the local/town level can be very ambiguous. Therefore, knowing what your organization is and it’s mission is important. If the people in your own organization are unclear that imagine what everyone else thinks. FEMA set a good example with this document for other organizations to follow.

A quick look at the outstanding work FEMA has done in 40 years.

Sounds like a slew of talking points. This could be really interesting, but falls way, way short.
