In this episode of Hotwash, special guest Megan Timmins joins us to explore the power of collaboration in emergency management—from securing presidential elections to coordinating across FEMA regions and healthcare coalitions. We trace how funding streams like UASI helped build cross-border capabilities after 9/11, and how new models of partnership are emerging to meet today’s challenges. Megan helps us unpack why maintaining strong relationships is essential for data sharing, joint response, and long-term recovery.
