78. Being Prepared Doesn't Have to Cost Any Money with Jeff Donaldson

In this compelling new episode of the Tell Us How to Make It Better Podcast, host George Siegal sits down with Jeff Donaldson, a principal researcher at Preparedness Labs and author of the upcoming ebook "Preparedness Simplified." Together, they explore the critical issue of emergency preparedness and the need for both individual and collective responsibility in the face of ever-increasing natural disasters.

 

Engaging in a thought-provoking discussion to challenge our dependence on government aid, Donaldson and Siegal delve deep into the question of how we can collectively shift back towards community-centric problem-solving in both preemptive and reactive contexts. Touching on topics such as the rise of transient communities, fostering community development, and the very real, life-altering ripple effects of natural disasters, our host and his guest shed light on the importance of individual and collective responsibility.

 

Topics Discussed:

- Emergency Preparedness

- Individual and collective responsibility in disaster recovery

- Government dependency vs. community problem-solving

- Successful community comeback examples

- Building in disaster-prone areas

- Fostering community development and strengthening social capital

- The impact of transient communities on disaster recovery

- The importance of having an evacuation plan in place

- Repercussions of disasters on individuals and communities
