The concepts in the video are explored and expanded in Kelly McKinney's just released book Moment of Truth: The Nature of Catastrophes and How to Prepare for Them. This book is essential reading for every emergency manager and every aspiring emergency manager

Will check it out. Thanks

Agreed...especially the quote. "emergency managers, manage....no really."

This reinvents the language of emergency management! Thank you for making this video.

Kudos for the Video! Sorry for chiming in, I would love your thoughts. Have you heard about - Lammywalness Winning Terrorism Guide (google it)? It is a great exclusive product for learing how to secure your family during disaster without the normal expense. Ive heard some interesting things about it and my GF after many years got astronomical success with it.

This was great--my wife is in EM and has tried to explain it to friends and family for years. What a great resource just to show people in the future.

Jake Tapinsky How do you become one? Is the pay good?

Just got this link off of my twitter and really thought it did its one job well to explain emergencies to the public. we always hear after disasters that so and so didn't talk to so and so and this department didnt know aobut this other department. good to know someone tries to fix that. Great video!

This is a great representation of what we do during a disaster, however it does not adequately address what we do on a day-to-day basis. Disasters, for most emergency managers, happen quite infrequently, so this is only showing what we do a very small amount of the time. The day-to-day video would be far less exciting :)

Jose Mendoza plans. They write lots of plans...

Excellent video that insightfully describes the difference between emergency response and emergency management

Excellent video! Thanks very much for sharing.

Interesting video! Will be sure to pass it to my congressman and senators. It's scary to think of what would have happened after Sandy without some amazing EM workers.

Excellent! We are going to share it.

This was great. I will be sure to share it with my friends and family.

Great Video - I need to educate my elected officials next week to exactly what it is I do. Thank you

I think this video will help explain what we do as EM's

Excellent and useful information regarding disaster management.

Excellent video I will be sharing it with many

Very good. Will share.

I love this video and showered with my students many times. thank you so much!

That's gross. You're under arrest. I assume that was a typo?

This is SUPER!!!!!!!!!

Thanks! Great to find another Facebook group focused on EM--looking forward to the conversation!

What does mean DOB, NG, OCEM, DEP?

That's actually really informative. thanks!

Really well done. Thanks

I am compelled to repost to the "EM meeting place and information kiosk" :)

Good idea; I'm challenged always to explain why what I do matters and needs to be FUNDED. Too many founders want nothing more than a picture for their annual report or widget counting.

I'm interested in this career path. I already have a bachelor's of sociology, but would like to find a good online MPA program that offers emphasis in emergency management. If anyone out there has any recommendations or resources, I would love to hear it!

More importantly, was it an accident, or a disaster?

I saw some figures running around on the screen, but I still don't get the impression that anything of value is being promoted here. It looks like an excuse for an organizational structure that is rarely or never needed. Say you keep a handful of firefighters on duty, that sit around polishing shiny fire trucks in case they are ever needed, and they thankfully come to the rescue every once in a while. Now imagine an EM that is needed even LESS frequently, maybe never, and you're paying them along the way. Hmmm.... I've got to imagine that this is a redundant overlap with other organizations. I can't imagine that the local first responders are feeling need for a middle man, or a gap in communication with elected officials. Also, in the event of the worst-case nuclear strike mentioned in this video... your EM is already dead, or functionally unavailable. I may be uninformed on the intricacies involved, but imagine the arguments made in this video might be an example of how governments sometimes "create jobs", and why government spending often increases without any corresponding value for the tax-paying citizen. In any event, I don't see this as improving conditions, rather it seems to complicate flow, and introduce more opportunity for human error in the large-scale emergency when this situation engages. It sounds like this type of function should be handled by people who are already actively embedded in the emergency response teams (police, fire, 911, etc), and already used to communicating with the other organizations. Not a group of inactive outsiders.

This is worse than silly--it's a piece of crap, demeaning to emergency managers the world around.

I think this is a well meaning, but ultimately silly and ill-informed video. Do you really believe if an improvised nuclear device is detonated "emergency management" will be in charge of making sure all public safety services are coordinated? Please put down your planning manual and open the window. And while you're making sure "everyone has all the information all the time" please find a way to incorporate how the media (mainstream and social) will be shaping the information environment.
