Principles of Leadership, The Dale Carnegie Way Aug 12, 2021

Show notes

We are joined by Steve Thomas from the Orange County’s Dale Carnegie office. Steve works with proven training techniques that give organizations real transformation. By providing tailored professional development and training solutions in the core areas of Leadership, Presentations, Interpersonal Skills, Team Building, Sales and Customer Service, Steve and the team at Dale Carnegie are able to align businesses to exceed their performance goals
Although the more recent work of authors such as Abraham Zaleznik and Daniel Goleman has fundamentally changed the way we look at leadership, many of their themes were foreshadowed in W.C.H. Prentice’s 1961 article rejecting the notion of leadership as the exercise of power and force or the possession of extraordinary analytical skill. Prentice defined leadership as “the accomplishment of a goal through the direction of human assistants” and a successful leader as one who can understand people’s motivations and enlist employee participation in a way that marries individual needs and interests to the group’s purpose. He called for democratic leadership that gives employees opportunities to learn and grow—without creating anarchy. While his language in some passages is dated, Prentice’s observations on how leaders can motivate employees to support the organization’s goals are timeless, and they were remarkably prescient.

Using Incident Management Teams In the Urban Setting Jul 22, 2021

Show notes

Consistent with past practice, Urban Areas began a collaborative process to establish All-Hazards Incident Management Teams (AHIMT) . Today we are taking a deep dive into the AHIMT process and seeks to identify challenges and obstacles to collaboration with FDNY BC Rich DePrima. There is minimal agreement about how much collaboration has taken place in developing the AHIMT programs. The benefits of collaboration are believed to include the sharing of resources, developing positive relationships with other agencies, reducing operational costs, and providing a common framework for identifying and solving problems. These findings support the following recommendations for using collaboration in regional initiatives: an overall program strategy document that addresses the need for and commitment to collaboration, governance, personnel, competency, remaining relevant, and an exercise schedule.

Drones a Critical Asset for Emergency Operations Jul 08, 2021

Show notes

Drones in the emergency response space is not a new idea, however we have seen a growth of the application and use of drones by both small and large jurisdictions. Drones are a great tool. Today we sit-down with Chief Charles Werner (ret.) a world wide drone expert and director of Droneresponders.
Drones empower emergency managers and first responders to evaluate serious disaster situations. With realtime information that complements the information reported from on the ground personnel, drones help complete the operational picture. Today drones have artificial intelligence , machine learning, augmented reality, infrared as some of their capabilities.
DRONERESPONDERS is a non-profit program created to unite these new aerial first responders, emergency managers, and search and rescue specialists under a unified organization to help learn, train, and test with one another with the ultimate objective of maximizing drone operations for public safety. DRONERESPONDERS is an official 501(c)3 non-profit Drones for Good™ program of AIRT, Inc.

Remote Working: And the Challenges to Emergency Management Jul 01, 2021

Show notes

With remote work more popular than ever, it’s important to consider the unique ways that emergencies and disasters may affect these employees. Employees who work from home should be sure to have a plan to deal with common emergencies and disasters. Technology can also help when it comes to emergency preparedness by enabling employees to connect to the internet, access important files and documents, and maintain a clear line of communication. Remote work during an emergency or disaster will indeed be much different than remote work during normal times — there may be additional challenges and stressors that require different solutions than normal. In the aftermath of a disaster, it’s important to be flexible, understanding, and take your employees’ needs into account.

The 46th Annual Natural Hazards Research and Applications Workshop: The Hazards and Disaster Workforce: Preparing to Meet 21st Century Chall Jun 24, 2021

Show notes

The 46th Annual Natural Hazards Research and Applications Workshop will be organized around the theme of The Hazards and Disaster Workforce: Preparing to Meet 21st Century Challenges.
Our ability to reduce disaster risk has always depended on the people who do the work. This includes leaders who set a vision for a more just and sustainable future, researchers who push the boundaries of discovery, and practitioners who help prepare communities for a range of threats.
As climate change accelerates and disaster losses mount, our future depends on fostering a well-trained workforce with strong adaptive capacity. At present, however, it is not clear that we have the people, resources, or institutional structures necessary to address the social roots of risk that turn natural hazards into human catastrophes. This focus on the current status of our field and the future of work is urgent.
Conversations at this year’s Workshop will center around how the workforce we have can support and build the workforce we need. How does the size and composition of the hazards and disaster workforce shape the ability to respond to and recover from extreme events? What sort of mentoring and skill building do researchers, practitioners, and volunteer responders need? What jobs have become obsolete and which need to be filled or created? How can we meet the escalating risks and inequalities of today, while still investing in programs and policies that will reduce future hazards losses?
These are just some of the questions we will pursue as we highlight efforts aimed at cultivating a demographically diverse and highly skilled workforce. We will also explore societal transitions that shape labor demands and carefully consider what gaps exist in hazards workforce development, education, and training. As we take stock of who we are and how we approach our work, we will chart a strategy for the future that ensures we are ready to rise together to meet 21st century challenges.
As always, we strive to build a rich program that includes many different perspectives and plenty of opportunities for engagement. We are excited to learn from you as we chart this path together.

Practical Application of Incident Command, Should It Be Overhauled? Jun 17, 2021

Show notes

The full organization of the ICS structure is large. However, the full organization is rarely implemented. The organization can expand and contract depending on how many people are needed at any given moment. In a large crisis, the whole structure could be implemented, but in a smaller incident, only one, two, or three of these positions might be filled. One person can fill more than one role. The rule of thumb is that every role that is left vacant is filled by the role above it.
EM Weekly and Blue Cell are going to take a deeper look into what is the practical application of the Incident Command System and do we need to have an overhaul of the system?

Private Sector Emergency Management How They Enhance The Profession Jun 10, 2021

Show notes

The changing scope and scale of disasters, both natural and technological, have altered the ways in which disaster management and financing are addressed and the roles of private-sector organizations specifically. Businesses and nonprofit organizations are increasingly central to the process, offering critical support in immediate disaster response but also contributing necessary redevelopment funding that supports community recovery. Although these new expectations position the private sector as a key leader in community resilience, these responsibilities have not been fully met with established guidance or clear metrics for how and when these organizations should participate in disaster recovery and financing.
This perspective examines key issues confronting the private sector in disaster recovery financing, what roles private-sector entities have played, and where there has been successful integration or leadership of these organizations. The perspective also briefly explores challenges that the private sector faces, with particular attention to issues of information use and application, coordination in response and recovery, and timing of funding. Given continued data gaps in this field, the authors offer opportunities for research and policy analysis
