August Updates from the CEMIR
U.S. National Emergency Management Awareness Month, Summer Slowdown? - Not.
July’s #coldplaygate corporate crisis communications debacle reminded us about how complex and cascading incidents can occur - and how Emergency Management principles and practices are the solutions.
On September 19, 2025, you can find Michael Prasad, MA, CEM® at Medium Day! This free event is available to the public worldwide, details and registration at www.mediumday.com.
Read Michael Prasad, MA, CEM®’s plans for the “August is National Emergency Management Awareness” campaign, below:
Check out Mike’s article on Amateur Radio capabilities in support of Emergency Management at the ARRL’s QST magazine (no fire-wall, free version).
Over at the CEMIR, we also produce a free blog post once a month (coincidentally at the same time as this one – every 15th or so day of each month). You can subscribe to those here.
And Mike’s new e-book is now available! It is free to read online via Pressbooks:

And the Amazon Kindle version of this book (no royalties) is available now, as well as a paperback print version from Amazon as well. Also, no royalties.
You can find Mike virtually - and in person! - during 2025 at a number of conferences and trainings. Learn more about his 2025 speaking “tour”, at https://michaelprasad.com/events.
