A Tale Of Three Fires - Comparing Recent Wildfire Evacuations
In this Episode, we’ll be discussing 3 major and recent fire evacuation disasters. The 2021 Lytton wildfire, the 2023 Yellowknife fires, and the 2023 Nova Scotia Wildfires. What similarities and differences exist between these 3 unique incidents, and what can we learn from them as Emergency Managers. To this end we will be speaking with Professor Steve Gwynne who is the research technical lead for GHD movement strategies, and an expert in people movement during disaster. His discussion covers some of his findings from a recent report on these wildfires, as well as some great plain language preparedness advice for EP Week 2024.

Beyond Buzzwords - Re - Examining Our Disaster Mottos
In this Episode we’ll be taking a hard look at some common quips, quotes and colloquialisms that are so commonly repeated by Emergency Managers that they might as well be our mottos. Which ones hold up, and which are potentially misleading? And just in case you need a dose of humor to get through the week, we also have some bonus content at the end of this one in the form of an interview with Cheryl Oberg, who is a professional clown specializing in laughter therapy in high stress situations.

Cultural Safety in Reception Centres - with Jeff Beddome
In this Episode, we’re featuring a presentation that took place during another series I host called ‘Disaster Rounds’, which is mainly tailored to healthcare disaster managers, but this one is too important not to share. During this presentation, Jeff Beddome, Senior Emergency Management Advisor with the Alberta Health Services Indigenous Wellness Core demonstrates the importance of recognizing Canada’s colonial history and it’s lingering impacts, and proposes a collaborative way forward for Emergency Management through a ‘two eyed’ way of seeing.
