March 04, 2025 The Secret Nuclear Bunker at The Greenbrier Resort
I toured a former Cold War era secret government bunker under The Greenbrier Resort. Formerly known as Project Greek Island, this bunker was meant for members of Congress to wait out nuclear war, before emerging to legislate whatever remained. Let's talk about the bunker, its development and features, and the dedicated team who secretly kept the bunker ready to use for over 30 years until it was exposed by journalist Ted Gup in an article cleverly titled "The Last Resort."

June 14, 2024 Building Preparedness Communities
Who are the people you want around you in an emergency? Someone shows up asking for people with a particular set of skills and says they’re looking to put together a team. Of course they want you to he a part of it. Sounds realistic, right? Well, maybe not. Do we choose our friends because they can benefit us or because we like them? On paper, you might be able to choose an expertly skilled team to have around, but in real life, it’s not so simple.

February 09, 2024 The Ambulance Down in the Valley
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Nat usually draws attention away from the hazards, but today he gives two areas where understanding and focusing on the hazard are helpful, but you can still do it in a positive way. He also shares The Ambulance Down in the Valley, a poem written by Joseph Malins in 1895, which explores the relationship between prevention/mitigation and response.

October 26, 2023 Preparedness Works 17 - Preparedness As a Civic Responsibility
From the era of American Civil Defense to the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program, and basically nothing in between, before, or after, preparedness was recognized as a civic responsibility, but those times focused on specific threats for their day. Is individual preparedness, outside a structured government system, a benefit or detriment to society? You can guess my answer, but let's see if you agree (if you don't, then we should chat sometime on the show).

September 25, 2023 Preparedness Works Episode 16 - We Have No Idea What Is Going On - Prepare Accordingly
Preparedness is not based on fear. If someone is trying to scare you in order to prepare, they are probably selling you something. Don't let the fear cause you to react and do something you don't need to do and doesn't make you better prepared. Let's talk about the emergency management cycle (Preparedness, Response, Recovery, and Mitigation), where the line is between preparedness and response, and why it matters
