Dispatches from the front lines and behind the scenes of the emergency and disaster management field. Every week, we’ll bring you the most important disaster news, learn from professionals in the field, and dive into emerging issues.
On this episode that we recorded on my favorite day of the year, Star Wars Day, I’m joined by the incredible Ginny Katz. Ginny is the founder and CEO of HazAdapt, a safety app and platform transforming how communities prepare for and adapt to hazards.
Ginny is a Spitfire of research, innovation, and ethics on a mission to build a new era of emergency and safety technology that responsibly supports bottom-up resilience and top-down engagement throughout a disaster. At the front of community resilience innovation, Ginny and the HazAdapt team are redefining how people and communities engage with safety information and discovering online and offline insights critical for local emergency managers and preparedness authorities.
Paid subscribers on stateofdisaster.com get to see the extended version of this interview with a demo of the NEW ResiliencePoint feature that shows emergency managers how their community is interacting with hazard guidance, revealing trends, gaps, and opportunities to strengthen resilience. You also get to see me have an allergy attack mid-recording! FUN!
