Quarterly Resiliency Forecast-Winter 2024
"Resilience isn’t just about weathering the storm—it’s about anticipating it, adapting to it, and emerging stronger.

Your Holiday Safety Briefing
1. Know Your Risks and Create Simple Action Steps
Prepare for the basics:
Fire: Do you know your evacuation route? When was the last time you checked your smoke alarm batteries?
Power Outages: What’s your backup plan if the power goes out halfway through cooking the turkey? (OR do you have a backup pre-cooked turkey somewhere? I can neither confirm nor deny doing this…)
Natural Hazards: My hometown occasionally experiences earthquakes. They’re rare, but when they happen, my family tends to panic like headless turkeys. To prepare, I always review “Drop, Cover, and Hold On.”
Pro Tip: When my nieces and nephews were younger, they loved running through the house to find the best “safe spots” during our earthquake drills. It’s a surprisingly fun pre-dinner activity!
Internet Meltdowns: Slow internet can lead to big meltdowns. Break out the old board games early — it’s a lifesaver.

What’s in Your Mental Health Toolkit?
Building resilience takes time, and what works is unique for each of us. But every step we take, every tool we add, strengthens us for the challenges ahead. So, what’s in your mental health toolkit, and how are you taking steps to fortify your resilience?

Critical Training for Active Assailant Response: A Personal Account and The Resiliency Initiative’s Mission
I've spent many years in the emergency management field, designing training programs and responding to every type of hazard imaginable—countless fires, floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, explosions, train derailments, and even cyber hacks and ransomware attacks. Yet, there is one type of incident that cuts deep every time: an active shooter situation. For me, these are the most mentally taxing to manage, especially from the vantage point of being in an Emergency Operations Center, where I often watch the tragedy unfold from a distance, helpless to intervene. The harsh reality is that most active shooter incidents are over in less than five minutes. In those moments, all I can do is hope that the training we provided takes hold, guiding those caught in the crossfire to safety.
From Y2K to CrowdStrike: Why Business Continuity Planning is Your Secret Weapon.
Operation disruptions and immediate revenue loss are not the only risks you need to consider. Think about the impact on your organization's brand if you do not have plans in place to respond quickly. Customers affected by a protracted business interruption are likely lost forever.

Tornado Reality Check: An Emergency Manager's Personal Experience and Preparedness Insights
I have responded to countless disasters of many different types, spent more hours than I have spent sleeping in some version of an emergency operation center or another and even had to use my life safety training, such as CPR, on more than one occasion. I would say that emergency response is part of who I am; even my initials are AED. However, though I have been in this field for half my life, I have always been the helper, NOT the one needing help.
