I toured a former Cold War era secret government bunker under The Greenbrier Resort. Formerly known as Project Greek Island, this bunker was meant for members of Congress to wait out nuclear war, before emerging to legislate whatever remained. Let's talk about the bunker, its development and features, and the dedicated team who secretly kept the bunker ready to use for over 30 years until it was exposed by journalist Ted Gup in an article cleverly titled "The Last Resort."Please visit our sponsors!L3Harris Technologies' BeOn PPT App. Learn more about this amazing product here: www.l3harris.com Impulse: Bleeding Control Kits by professionals for professionals: www.dobermanemg.com/impulseDoberman Emergency Management Group provides subject matter experts in planning and training: www.dobermanemg.comThe Readiness Lab Podcast Network Prepaerdness Works is part of The Readiness Lab Podcast Network For sponsorship requests: [email protected] or visit our website: www.thereadinesslab.comPlease visit our sponsors!L3Harris Technologies' BeOn PPT App. Learn more about this amazing product here: www.l3harris.com Visit The Readiness Lab and learn about our Next Level Emergency Management training! https://www.thereadinesslab.com/Impulse: Bleeding Control Kits by professionals for professionals: www.dobermanemg.com/impulseDoberman Emergency Management Group provides subject matter experts in planning and training: www.dobermanemg.comCheck out how you can use digital twins in your training, exercising, and planning using RSET https://rset.com/ For sponsorship requests, check out our Sponsorship Portfolio here or email us at [email protected]

Who are the people you want around you in an emergency? Someone shows up asking for people with a particular set of skills and says they’re looking to put together a team. Of course they want you to he a part of it. Sounds realistic, right? Well, maybe not. Do we choose our friends because they can benefit us or because we like them? On paper, you might be able to choose an expertly skilled team to have around, but in real life, it’s not so simple. Join us for a next level communications workshop for first responders!

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Nat usually draws attention away from the hazards, but today he gives two areas where understanding and focusing on the hazard are helpful, but you can still do it in a positive way. He also shares The Ambulance Down in the Valley, a poem written by Joseph Malins in 1895, which explores the relationship between prevention/mitigation and response.Major Endorsements: L3Harris's BeOn PPT App. Learn more about this amazing product here: www.l3harris.comPaladin by Acela: Move into recovery with mobile MCI refrigerated morgues: www.paladinprepare.comImpulse: Bleeding Control Kits by professionals for professionals: www.dobermanemg.com/impulseDoberman Emergency Management Group provides subject matter experts in planning and training: www.dobermanemg.comThe Readiness Lab Podcast Network Prepaerdness Works is part of The Readiness Lab Podcast Network For sponsorship requests: [email protected] or visit our website: www.thereadinesslab.comPlease visit our sponsors!L3Harris Technologies' BeOn PPT App. Learn more about this amazing product here: www.l3harris.com Visit The Readiness Lab and learn about our Next Level Emergency Management training! https://www.thereadinesslab.com/Impulse: Bleeding Control Kits by professionals for professionals: www.dobermanemg.com/impulseDoberman Emergency Management Group provides subject matter experts in planning and training: www.dobermanemg.comCheck out how you can use digital twins in your training, exercising, and planning using RSET https://rset.com/ For sponsorship requests, check out our Sponsorship Portfolio here or email us at [email protected]

From the era of American Civil Defense to the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program, and basically nothing in between, before, or after, preparedness was recognized as a civic responsibility, but those times focused on specific threats for their day. Is individual preparedness, outside a structured government system, a benefit or detriment to society? You can guess my answer, but let's see if you agree (if you don't, then we should chat sometime on the show).The Readiness Lab Podcast Network:For sponsorship requests: [email protected] visit our website: www.thereadinesslab.comL3Harris's BeOn PPT App. Learn more about this amazing product here: www.l3harris.comContact Nat:Nat - The Preparedness [email protected]://www.preparednessguy.comDoberman Emergency Management owns and operates the Readiness Lab Podcast Network.

Preparedness is not based on fear. If someone is trying to scare you in order to prepare, they are probably selling you something. Don't let the fear cause you to react and do something you don't need to do and doesn't make you better prepared. Let's talk about the emergency management cycle (Preparedness, Response, Recovery, and Mitigation), where the line is between preparedness and response, and why it mattersThe Readiness Lab Podcast Network:For sponsorship requests: [email protected] visit our website: www.thereadinesslab.comL3Harris's BeOn PPT App. Learn more about this amazing product here: www.l3harris.comContact Nat:Nat - The Preparedness [email protected]://www.preparednessguy.comDoberman Emergency Management owns and operates the Readiness Lab Podcast Network.
