It has been a great week. Getting outside and taking the time to read is critical for your self-development. So The Emergency Management Network is dedicated to bringing thought leaders and experts to one place. Over the last few weeks, we have brought on some great emergency management thought leaders that we know you will enjoy. Kelly McKinney, Sarah K.  Miller, Dr. Rodric Bowman, Tobias Watson, and Amber Rushton are leading the way. 

As we expand our network we decided to create this weekly round-up of the post on The Emergency Management Network’s Substack for your convenience. 

Highlights Of The Week

Read “Are You Your Own Worst Enemy?” by Kelly McKinney 

Kelly McKinney challenges us this week to think about why we are our own worst enemy. We need self-reflection for many reasons. We need to have a great solid strategy to improve who we are and what we do in our profession. 

Read “Preparing for Infrastructure Compromise”  by Sarah K. Miller

Sarah K. Miller dives deep into why we need to be thinking about infrastructure. There are many reasons why we need to have critical infrastructure on our minds as emergency managers. Are we active in cybersecurity? Do you have a plan? We all have seen the impacts of small attacks on the system. Are we ready for the “big one”? 

Listen to “Harnessing Climate Change Data for Better Decision Making” With Dr. Adam Sobel

Todd De Voe hosted a conversation with Dr. Adam Sobel to discuss why emergency managers need to know more about climate change and how the harness climate change data for better decision making. This event is the first of the 2022 Leader’Speak webinar series brought to you by SpeaknSpark and The Emergency Management Network.   

Signup today for our next webinar Where Will People Go? Climate-Induced Relocation-From Retreat to Migration. Climate-induced relocation scales from individual homeowner buyout to mass international migration and will only grow in importance on every scale. We will discuss the recent history of climate-induced relocation, similarities and differences of various terms, and the relevance of the movement of people to climate adaptation and disaster risk reduction.

We want to thank our supporters of The Emergency Management Network!
