Body Today we are talking to Josh Bashioum from the ShakeAlert program. ShakeAlert is an earthquake early warning system that is disgined to give up to 60 seconds of warning that an earthquake is coming. How many lives could be saved if we can get this system up and running in the United States. Systems such as the ShakeAlert are in Japan and Mexico and have seen great success. Guest Bio Josh Bashioum is the founder and CEO of the Early Warning Labs. Early Warning Labs, LLC (EWL) is an Earthquake Early Warning technology developer and integrator located in Santa Monica, CA.

EWL’s mission is to improve, expand, and lower the costs of the existing earthquake early warning systems. EWL is developing a robust cloud server environment to handle low-cost mass distribution of these warnings.

EWL has an existing beta R&D test system installed at one of the largest studios in Southern California.

This week we have Steven Heidecker and Chief Tonya Hoover of the National Training Center on to talk about training programs and new and exciting things coming out of their shop. Steven is with the EMI and Chief Hoover is with the National Fire Administration.

This week we talk to Dr. Philip Burke about community resiliency. If you have seen Dr. Berke on FEMA’s Prep-Talk you know how passionate that Dr. Burke is about this subject. Community resiliency starts with land use, the location of homes and services out of the flood zones, proper building codes to help reduce the damage, and involving the community in the decision-making process. EM Weekly is excited to have you join this conversation.

Today we bring you an innovative way to practice responding to an active shooter. Training can be expensive and at the end of the day the average officer, firefighter, EMT and emergency manager only takes a small lesson if any away from the training. C3 Pathways has created a training program that puts the responder in the middle of the action and they never have to leave the classroom

Today we are discussing Emergency Management in Canada. We learn from Greg Solecki some of the differences, challenges, and similarities that EM’s in Canada face. IAEM in Canada is only 15 years old and they have already made an impact on the profession. I am happy to have Greg on the show.
