The Moment of Truth by Kelly McKinney
This week we talk to Kelly McKinney about his book The Moment of Truth. Kelly takes us into the life of a typical emergency manager on their worst day of their career, when the big one happens. Kelly is a great story teller and is able to weave real events into how an emergency manager handled the disaster. This book is not just full of a few good stories, you will learn the principles of emergency management as well.
Guest Bio
Kelly McKinney has had a leadership role in every major disaster in New York City for more than fifteen years, from the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks to the present day.
As Deputy Commissioner at the New York City Office of Emergency Management, he assembled a Task Force of hundreds, led by the FDNY and the National Guard, to knock on thousands of doors across the coastal areas devastated by the storm.
He rebuilt the city's disaster planning program, including the Coastal Storm Plan, about which the New York Post said "Planning makes perfect”.
As Chief Disaster Officer for the American Red Cross he rushed to the aid of children and families affected by disaster, most notably the March 2014 Con Edison gas explosion on 125th Street in Harlem.
He is the founding principal of Emergency Management Americas, a 501c3 nonprofit with a mission to advance the profession and practice of emergency management.
He is a professional engineer with a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Kansas and a master’s degree in public administration from Columbia University in the City of New York.
Currently, he is the Senior Director of Emergency Management and Enterprise Resilience at NYU Langone Health, a world-class academic medical center based in New York City
