Disaster Zone Podcast: ‘Becoming Prepared to Deal with Any Disaster’

New thinking on a challenging topic.

Where do new ideas and concepts come from — short answer, people! We are only now at the beginning of trying to find ways to get people both motivated and then to act on that motivation to become better prepared for the next disaster.

See, I should say, listen to this Disaster Zone podcast, “Becoming Prepared to Deal with Any Disaster.”
