What happens when the fuel supply into Las Vegas is disrupted—and how do public agencies and private companies prepare before an emergency happens?

In this episode of Jobbers: American Energy, Jason Case sits down with Jose Ross, Emergency Management Officer for the City of Henderson, to discuss emergency preparedness, fuel resilience, and the public-private partnerships helping Southern Nevada prepare for the unexpected.

After fuel interruptions caused by a power outage and California wildfires, the City of Henderson and Rebel Oil began working together to identify vulnerabilities in Southern Nevada’s fuel supply and strengthen their emergency response plans. Through tabletop exercises, the teams tested real-world scenarios, identified gaps, and built stronger communication between emergency managers, fuel suppliers, drivers, and public safety agencies.

The conversation also explores what makes Las Vegas unique. With Formula 1, EDC, New Year’s Eve, the Super Bowl, and other massive events bringing huge crowds into the valley, emergency preparation requires coordination across multiple jurisdictions, police and fire departments, private companies, and logistics providers.

Jason and Jose also discuss how technology—from 360-degree truck cameras to advanced emergency-response tools—can improve situational awareness. But one of the biggest lessons from the episode is that preparedness doesn’t require an unlimited budget. Sometimes meaningful progress starts with the right people, a tabletop exercise, and a box of donuts.

If you want an inside look at how Southern Nevada prepares for fuel disruptions, emergencies, and some of the world's largest events, this is the conversation.
