A true passion for Emergency Management is best manifested when one has it for the readiness or "front end" side of things instead of ONLY the response side.

This week's guest in the Disaster Tough Podcast, Chris Housely explains why this concept is important for Emergency Managers to understand.

As an emergency management specialist with the US Air Force, Chris also brings more than a decade of experience working as a first responder and flight medic before transitioning to the world of EM.

In this episode, she and host John Scardena talk about how one can be "strategically tactical" in preparing and responding to various disasters, and how the origins of the Emergency Management field trace back to the need for First Responders to have someone looking out for them.

They also reminisce about how a chance photo encounter in Baltimore has led to this week's important conversation.
